American Idol

American Idol is a popular reality TV singing competition airing on FOX. Judged by Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson and Paula Abdul, each year it narrows down a series of finalists until one of them is chosen as the American Idol.

In a brodcast on May 10, 2006, Kermit the Frog appeared in a promotional spot for Ford automobiles. These segments air each week on the program, each highlighting the remaining contestants and promoting a Ford automobile, in this case, the Fusion. At the end of the commercial, Kermit was shown in the car, saying "I guess it is easy being green," just as he did an ad for the Ford Escape Hybrid aired during the Super Bowl.
