- In an email newsletter after the appearance, Hanna Storm commented:
“On a lighter note, this morning I had a chance to interview one of the great iconic personalities of our time -- Kermit the Frog! Needless to say, he was very coy about the ongoing speculation regarding his relationship with Miss Piggy, but he was happy to chat about his new book, "Before You Leap: A Frog's Eye View of Life's Greatest Lessons." The interview went great, but perhaps we shouldn’t have given him that espresso: He was literally about to “leap” off of the couch!”
- December 6, 2008 -- Fozzie Bear appeared with the hosts at The Muppet Whatnot Workshop, along with Bobby Flay, to promote the new workshop. Flay mentions that he had Elmo on his cooking show the previous week, so he will be seeing Fozzie often. Fozzie's reaction (a look of pleasure) is the first time since the Disney acquisition that the Muppets have referred to the Sesame Street Muppets. (YouTube)
