The Head of the Network



The head of the KMUP network makes an appearance during the filming of the Garth Brooks episode of Muppets Tonight, to make sure that the country singer performs some of his hit songs. When this hasn't happened by a third of the way through the show, he threatens Clifford to give the time slot to Bill the Bubble Guy unless the Muppets can make it happen. When he starts brainstorming with Bill about what to call the new show, Clifford decides to get tough with Brooks and demand that he cut the shenanigans. By the final number, when the whole cast joins in on singing a Garth Brooks song, the executive rescinds his promise to Bill and sings along with the cast to "We Shall Be Free." Bill, in turn, tries to blow him a deuce, but manages a five.
