Watch Kermit and Piggy Squirm Through a Lie Detector Test

Kermit is understandably uncomfortable with Piggy’s relentless questioning, and she manages to make every question about herself. Piggy immediately asks Kermit if he thinks she’s the best performer he’s ever worked with. Kermit reluctantly agrees, even though he’s worked with legends like Elton John, Diana Ross, and Gene Kelly on The Muppet Show (he’s smart enough to know when to concede!). Finally, Kermit gets a chance to ask her some questions, and Miss Piggy—who reveals her full name is Miss Pigaythia Lee—doesn’t exactly tell the truth.

This video is a fun reminder of how funny and enduring the Muppets can be. Disney has spent the last three decades trying to update the Muppets for today’s viewers, with mixed results. While the 2011 Muppets movie was a hit, other attempts haven’t quite worked. As the new Muppet Show special showed, people really just want the classic Muppets format, but with current celebrities. Hopefully, we’ll see a lot more of this classic Muppet magic soon. Jim Henson’s characters are truly valuable assets that Disney should utilize more.

The Muppet Show special presentation is now streaming on Disney+.
