"That's Entertainment" is sung by a chorus of Muppet pigs who have taken over The Muppet Theatre, including Miss Piggy and Annie Sue, in episode 224 of The Muppet Show.

A version of the song with some lyrical changes is sung by Miss Piggy while she experiences the Universal Studios tour in the Jim Henson Hour special Miss Piggy's Hollywood. Miss Piggy's version focuses on Hollywood effects and stunts, but notes they're not enough without a star (specifically, her). One of the most notable alterations is the new couplet "the effects/may be better than sex."

Sesame Street parodied the song as "That's Pretending" and "That Is the Alphabet."
