Episode 515: Carol Burnett

Kermit makes the mistake of letting Gonzo run a dance marathon during the show. Carol's songs are interrupted, and she objects to the marathon -- especially when Gonzo fixes her up with Animal as her dance partner. Carol threatens to leave in the middle of the show, but Kermit persuades her to stay by promising that she can perform her famous Lonely Asparagus sketch. But Gonzo says the marathon won't be over until all the contestants collapse, so she tires the dancers out by singing "I Was Made for Dancing".

Highlights

 * Burnett's ballad "Cold" is interrupted by various dance rhythms.


 * Burnett's janitor character from The Carol Burnett Show sings "But Not For Me".
