| The Animal Show |
Today's show is about the bald eagle, with the featured guest being movie and TV star Sam the Eagle. However, Armstrong is upset that he doesn't get to be a guest and tries his best to point out he's a bird of prey like the eagle. After Sam leaves in disgust on seeing how bald eagles in the wild live, Armstrong steps up to be featured - only he is forced to talk about eagles in Sam's absence. Sam comes back and agrees to sing a song in exchange for help to get his car out of the parking garage; Armstrong gets his ego inflated when he has Sam briefly drop in a line about how great chicken hawks are.

- Sam is the only recurring classic Muppet character to appear on The Animal Show in its three-season run. However, Jake is the only one aware of what a big star Sam is.
- When told he must sing for the show, Sam tells Jake that he only knows "Tit Willow," a reference to the UK Spot from episode 120 of The Muppet Show.
