The Voice

The Voice is an NBC singing competition show. Hosted by Carson Daly, the show is unique for having a "blind audition" process, where the judges (or coaches) listen to the singers without looking at them. The original judging panel included Adam Levine, Cee Lo Green, Christina Aguilera and Blake Shelton.

Appearances

• November 27, 2012 - Kermit the Frog performs "Bein' Green" with Cee Lo; Fozzie, Gonzo, Animal, Janice, Statler and Waldorf also appear along with a new Muppet named Lo-Co (a parody of Cee-Lo).
