PERFORMER | Whoopi Goldberg |
DEBUT | 2002 |
The Boss is manager to Daniel, the angel who monitors the crisis of Kermit the Frog in It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie. Although it's never clearly stated, it is suggested that her character is the theistic God. For example, she makes claim to having created the complex bug eye and a coffee-producing shrub, and alludes to the fact that she "works in mysterious ways". The latter quotation refers to the Abrahamic God, as taken from Isaiah 45:15 of the King James Bible, and later popularized as a common expression.
During a May 2008 appearance on The View, Kermit says "I believe she played the part of God, which is sort of the same role she plays here."
