Good Morning America is a breakfast television news and talk show broadcast on the ABC television network; the show has been airing five days a week since November, 1975. The program is currently hosted by Diane Sawyer, Robin Roberts, Christopher Cuomo, and Sam Champion. Longtime anchor Charles Gibson left the program in 2006 to become the lead anchor of ABC World News. Weekend anchors include Kate Snow.
The Muppets have appeared on the show many times. They are a particular favorite of Gibson's, and Kermit the Frog appeared on Gibson's final broadcast in 2006 to say goodbye.
In 1992, the Muppets appeared in a series of ten weekly sketches produced for Good Morning America, spoofing current events of the day -- the presidential election, the Winter Olympics and tax day.

Video | Title | Description |
---|---|---|
200px|center | Muppet Campaign February 18 |

200px|center | The Muppet Games February 25 |
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. |
200px|center | Pop Psychology March 3 |
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 (Boo) literally keeps popping out from inside him. |
200px|center | Super Tuesday March 10 |
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. |
200px|center | Setting Your VCR March 24 |
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.) |
200px|center | Miss Piggy's Interview Show March 31 |

200px|center | Gonzo's Scandal April 7 |

200px|center | Tax Audit April 14 |
A 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." |
200px|center | Earth Day April 21 |
In honor of Earth Day, Kermit the Frog presents a live report from Planet Koozebane on their holiday rituals. The two Koozebanians in this sketch were originally used as Brool the Minstrel and Aretha on Fraggle Rock. |
