Episode 314: Harry Belafonte

Fozzie tries his hand at scripting the show while it's actually going on, but his scripts are extremely weak. He gives up when his tie gets caught in the typewriter.

Songs/Sketches

 * Fozzie interrupts Harry's first rendition of The Banana Boat Song (Day-O) on TV, bringing in a pig chorus and trying to get bananas from Beauregard, who brings him onions, pineapples and eggplants instead. The number disolves into chaos.


 * Rowlf and Lew Zealand sing "Tea for Two" backwards


 * Harry does a frenzied drum duet with Animal, after which they both collapse.


 * In Muppet Sports, Lewis Kazagger presents the blindfold sprint, in which all of the runners are blindfolded and can't see the finish line.


 * In Pigs in Space, Strangepork's dissolvotron malfunctions, switching the minds of Piggy and Link, Strangepork and Janice, and Kermit and The Swedish Chef.


 * Harry sings an African song, "Turn the World Around", about the interconnection between fire, water, mountain and spirit, accompanied by Muppets based on African masks.
