Good Morning America

Template:Talk 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 five-minute comedy sketches that appeared on Tuesday mornings during ABC's Good Morning America.

Sketches included

• "Muppet Campaign"- Miss Piggy and Gonzo the Great 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.

• 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.)

• Lewis Kazagger reports live from a baseball game, talking to the baseballs themselves.

• A Muppet monster (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!

• A Winter Olympics report by Lewis Kazagger (possibly the last appearance of this character) while Gonzo attempts skiing.

• Fozzie Bear gets a whatnot to help him with his taxes in a new version of "Money Money Money."

• Miss Piggy reviews a book written by a levitating whatnot.

• Two whatnots demonstrate how to change a blinking 12:00 timer on your VCR (leading to one of the whatnots going insane and blowing up the VCR.)

• Kermit the Frog reports live from Planet Koozebane on Earth Day to learn about their holiday rituals.

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

Another notable GMA appearance was in August 1989, where Jim Henson and Disney CEO Michael Eisner discussed the just-announced merger between their two companies. Henson wore a Mickey tie; Eisner wore a Kermit tie.
