Good Morning America

Good Morning America is a morning show produced by ABC News, that has featured both sketches by, and appearances of the Muppets.

Sketches
In 1992 (beginning February 18th), the Muppets appeared in a series of short comedy sketches that appeared on Tuesday mornings during ABC's Good Morning America.

Sketches included


 * "Muppet Campaign"- Miss Piggy and Gonzo face off in a political debate. Gonzo behaves bizarrely, keeps changing the subject, and basically does everything except address the issues. Naturally, he wins the debate. 2/18/1992.


 * "The Muppet Games"- A report by Lewis Kazagger on the Geek Winter Games (a much cheaper alternative to the Winter Olympics), where founding geek Gonzo demonstrates demolition speed skating. 2/25/1992.


 * "Pop Psychology"- A stressed out monster executive (Behemoth) listening to the radio hears a pyschologist suggest that everyone should release their "inner child." Much to the monster's dismay, a child monster literally keeps popping out from inside him! 3/3/1992.


 * "Super Tuesday"- Gonzo and Rizzo (two candidates from the 1992 election) try to persuade Muppets to vote for them (leading to a messy tug of war with a whatnot.) 3/10/1992.


 * (title unknown)- Lewis Kazagger reports live from a baseball game, talking to the baseballs themselves. 3/17/1992.


 * "Setting Your VCR"- Two whatnots demonstrate how to change the blinking 12:00 clock on your VCR (leading to one of the whatnots going insane and blowing up the VCR.) 3/24/1992.


 * "Miss Piggy's Interview Show"- Miss Piggy reviews a book written by a levitating whatnot. 3/31/1992.


 * "Gonzo's Scandal"- Two whatnot news reporters interview campaign front runner Gonzo the Great, but when Gonzo develops a sore elbow, the reporters start hounding him with a series of increasingly tabloid questions. 4/7/1992.


 * "Tax Audit"- A whatnot IRS auditor questions Fozzie Bear about outrageous deductions for items such as a rubber chicken, banana peels and custard pies. When Fozzie asks what the IRS wants from him, the auditor responds with a new rendition of Money. 4/14/1992.

It's unknown how long the Muppets continued to produce new shorts for GMA.
