Gran baladista e icono de la música folklórica de u.s.a, siempre te recordaremos the Gambler,

Fun fact: After filming this sketch, Kenny Rogers and the puppeteer of the Gambler (I know his name but I don't want to disparage the dead) would never be seen on the Muppet Show set ever again. While we all love this sketch and revel in the nostalgia, for at least 20 years this was considered the absolute bottom of the barrel, worst sketch of the entire run of the show. For example, pay close attention to the gambler's hands and you might notice there's something weird about them. When someone at the Creature Shop needed an ego check, they would sit them down and tell them about what went down behind the scenes of "The Gambler". The act of receiving this ego check was even named after the guy. It was such a sh!t show behind the scenes, the director/Gambler puppeteer got fired from the show (not Jim Henson Productions). Kenny Rogers canceled his appearance on Sesame Street because he hated that guy so much and would have had to have worked with him there. Even when he and Dolly Parton were invited to sing Islands in the Stream years later, Kenny said, "Hell no! And you can tell J***** I said so."

Cigarettes and whiskey in a little kid’s show. Ah, the good ol’ days! 🥴

Damn, I was hoping when I die I get my young body body back!

My dad's favorite song rip he died back in march

Rip Kenny u dealt your final hand

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Kenny Rogers the gambler the Muppet show

I love the ghost part of the video 😂

We have a copy of Kenny Rogers-Hasse Kvinnaböske Andersson.... Not a coincidence because N England was invaded by people from old Eastern Denmark-Skåne etc.., when Sweyn and Canute reconquered England in 11th c.. When skånish people talk english it sounds like the southern drawl...

I knew it wasn't a dream! Kenny Roger's really guest starred on the Muppet Show!⁉️🙏 Thanks KZbin!

Thanks for the nightmares 😳

One of the greatest shows ever, love the Muppet's.

I was born to this august 27 the muppet show and it will be my song when I pass away. Perfect song

This is what Gen X kids grew up on. No wonder I drink too much! I blame it on the Muppet Show.

those human muppets are nightmare fuel

Back when whiskey, cigarettes, and death were things children knew existed.

That song was from the sound of music.

Were they on that train bound for nowhere?😅

So they just continued singing, sitting next to a dead body. Interesting.

1979

I thought of this when thinking about President Biden. One of my favs!

Am watching the GAMBLER 3: THE Last Leg Right this minute one of KENNY ROGERS BEST SONGS THE 80'S WAS THE BEST ERA A JUST WISH A COULD GET THE DOC TO TAKE ME BACK TO THE GOOD OLD DAYS?

I'm not even going to talk about what other people are talking about, the alcohol and the smoking on a putative kid's show... can we talk about the fact that this kids show had a character DIE and become a GHOST as part of the song? THAT'S what stuck with me.

There is literally a dead guy on the train and everyone is smiling and singing

Realistic Muppets are the CREEPIEST Muppets!!! Great piece here either way!

R.I.P. Kenny Rogers Jerry Nelson

I loved the Muppet show. They were great. We could always count on Ms Piggy and those two curmudgeons for a laugh

so funny

And somehow The Muppets Show is the one who did The Gambler the best. So much creative talent. Rest well Kenny, rest well Jim.

Nutting but epic!!

I am not a huge country western fan by any measure but I love this song Sooooooooo much !

Kenny Rodgers 🥺

This is back when drinking smoking and gambling was still showed in child and family movies

0:20 WHAT DID SHE JUST SAY?!?!?!?!?

This is an amazing piece of television history, a classic , sadly ot would never get made today THE WOKE BASTARDS would never let it happen, the part with the ghost alone would frighten the PUCIFIED WOKETARD'S

1:40- Cigarette smoking man from The X Files?

Human Muppets are just creepy...

Immortal Kenny Rogers!

Best gueststar on the show...

Are we just ignoring that everyone else in that compartment just watched someone die and apparently don't give a fuck? :D

Despite His Most Popular Song, Rogers Never Did Much Gambling. Rogers' most popular song is arguably his 1978 release "The Gambler," but in 2015, he told NPR that he'd never been a big gambler himself. "I learned a long time ago, I can't win enough money to excite me, but I can lose enough to depress me," he admitted.

This might be my favorite bit from the Muppets Was lucky enough to meet Kenny rogers before he passed A sweet and really kind man

Such a beautiful episode. The Muppet show was the latest TV that my grandmother allowed me to watch before bed and then my granddad would let me sneak watch Benny Hill. Mr. Kenny Rogers will be missed. 💞

Oh crud. In his sleep.
