An exclusive interview with Miss Piggy after "Muppets" milestone

[@DaringDasher]

"You were talking about our age TOGETHER. Yes. WE are 50" Miss Piggy got her together FAST 💀🤣

[@LostChildOfTime]

Miss Piggy is probably the closest thing America would get to having an actual queen.

[@jbsMUWcreations2089]

Yes

[@goodtohaveinajam8148]

Made me nostalgic, for my childhood. Ms. Piggy is an icon, and a hero to young people the world over. She is strong, silly, smart, quick, and loving, all in one little piggie. Thanks, Jim and crew for all the laughs and philosophy. True American genius.

[@michaelccopelandsr7120]

I LOVED how The Muppet Show didn't have any commercials.

[@Teresa.Says.It.Here.2]

Yes! However, don't tell anyone that she's a he!🤪🤔🤗

[@1MCslender]

Respect to CBS for also interviewing Eric and Bonnie. I feel like ever since Disney took over the Muppets IP they always did interviews with the muppet characters and rarely ever did any interviews with the actual people who bring these characters to life. Really refreshing to see these talented people get the credit they deserve!!

[@blazayblazay8888]

IT’S LIKE SHE DOESN’T AGE

[@aaronestrada1283]

Because she’s a puppet bro

[@bullmonty764]

Her hair looks fairly grey now but other than that I agree

[@tyreekanimations]

She's a fictional character

[@jbsMUWcreations2089]

Yeah she's fictional 😊

[@randomgeekcrap]

That plastic surgery they paid for worked

[@amandamedina2533]

Who needs BARBIE when we got Mrs. Piggy? She’s stylish She’s sassy She’s loud and proud 😂❤🐷

[@michaelccopelandsr7120]

Bringing smiles to people is truly noble work. Thank you, Jim Henson, for your legacy and a lifetime of smiles.

[@RaymondHng]

Miss Piggy is performed by Frank Oz (1976-2002) and Eric Jacobson (2001-present).

[@ZacherlJem]

Being an adult is hard. It should never be under estimated something that brings joy and makes you forget about life for a while. Here's to you, Miss Pigathius Lee. You are truly adored by your fans.

[@shaneencalade4988]

Eric is so talented…. I had the pleasure of being his Moms friend and she was an amazing person who always knew he would make it. She died before he made it really BIG and being Miss Piggy is BIG. She would be beside herself with joy.

[@celestecelestial90]

She’s an icon and doesn’t age! 🐷

[@justiceriser8970]

She got class and a kind heart like when she help kermit buy a gift for his new girl even though how wrong it was

[@aaronsarchive82]

A longtime Henson fan, this story was really well done. Bravo, CBS! 👏👏👏

[@jenniferhansen3622]

Frank Oz and Jim Henson, two amazing talents!

[@flmlvr]

If there is ever a moment in Miss Piggy's career that I will ALWAYS remember and cherish, is the "Pigs in Space" sketch on The Muppet Show that was hosted by Carol Burnett. They had captured a weird alien creature. The creature started to dance with Miss Piggy (a dance marathon was going on in the show and they worked it into the sketch). Then while it appears he's dancing with her he says "MMMMM HUNGRY!!!!" and mercilessly gobbles her up. That was over 40 years since I saw that and it STILL cracks me up. So thank you Miss Piggy for the laughs.

[@MossyMozart]

@flmlvr - I SO wanted a "Pigs in Space" lunchbox, but was never able to get one. >_

[@stacyscooby8488]

I Love you Miss Piggy you are amazing watched you growing up .

[@KellyRyan-k9k]

"She was born to free us all" I felt that

[@pontredreal01]

She's the original diva

[@Sorcerer-SMC]

This honestly made me remember something Uncle Deadly said in The 2015 Muppets series that relates to this. “Oh I’ve woven her in a cocoon of lies, she doesn’t know her size. Wait, nor how old she is…”

[@Flash-sr8hm]

I have a miss piggy etiquette book that i picked up second hand for about $1 years ago. Frigging hilarious.

[@carlajacobsen6821]

Besides my own mother, Miss Piggy was my muse. 💖✨ She’s an icon.

[@juliavilla8088]

I love this interview Love Miss piggy forever!!

[@jbsMUWcreations2089]

It's also Frank Oz Birthday!!

[@truthBreal2030]

I have so many find memories of Ms. Piggy❤

[@bullmonty764]

I can’t believe it; an actual Muppet appearance in the media! Disney still allows that?!

[@isabelalzateestrada]

Actually the ones who own the rights to the Muppets is a company in Germany

[@jbsMUWcreations2089]

7:15 7:18 I'm sorry this still gives me goosebumps in a good way 🥹

[@jenniferhansen3622]

Same!!

[@KellyRyan-k9k]

Jim Henson was an amazing man

[@jenniferhansen3622]

I agree and I can't wait to see the documentary about him. ❤

[@DVR01]

Well done Miss Piggy.

[@jaxx-ld2bu]

Beautiful segment! I smiled all the way through! Great job! 👍THANK YOU MS.PIGGY!😘❤❤❤❤❤

She’s a legend.

[@gwmgbwi]

Omg! Congratulations to my Queen!

[@Aisha.The.Traveler]

Miss Piggy has always been my favorite! 💕💗💕

[@iHeartsNostalgiaPit]

why didn't anyone at the company pitch a 50th (or 25th 25th anniversary) of Miss Piggy in Show Business to Disney? if Electric Mayhem can have their own series why shouldn't Miss Piggy have her own thing

[@mspears_bobobuddytheseniorcat]

My favorite was in The Muppets Take Manhattan and the scene when she relentlessly chases down her purse snatcher through Central Park! 😹

[@rad4924]

Finally, a real celebrity!

[@cartooncentral263]

We love Miss Piggy.

[@katwong3057]

Thank u miss piggy

[@amayajones68]

I just realized we’ve never seen Miss Piggy’s fingers, I don’t think. She’s almost exclusively wearing opera length gloves.

[@prowolf633]

I hope we get new muppets movies in theaters in the near future!

[@Sunset4Semaphores]

This IP has rested long enough. It is time for more Muppets action!

[@Dakid015]

As long as there's no cheap modern reboots. Stick to the classic material!

[@Alt_Bettyy]

Miss Piggy is the best of the best! I loved the Jim Henson documentary 🌈🐷🐸💖💚 So thankful we have the Muppets 💗💗

[@MsLH208]

Looooooveher❤❤❤❤❤

[@misterl0gic]

This is how bad Disney sucks - the Muppets are Disney property and this interview is happening not on ABC, but CBS. Where's the synergy? Disney has done uck fall with the Jim Henson Company since they acquired them. Dude was right in saying Jim's legacy has withered under the house of mouse.

[@jamiegdubois]

I was just thinking the exact same thing! I don’t understand why Disney hasn’t done more with the muppets. People of all ages love them!

[@ellem5338]

Since I've had a crush on Kermit for decades...I'm not the biggest Piggy fan...I still don't know what he sees in that Heifer!!!!

[@LauraBwayMorris]

5:03 you’re not wrong, Miss Piggy!

[@wishingonthemoon1]

What an icon, a legend, she is the moment.

[@stevenchilders272]

Frank Oz is the Man.

[@jenniferhansen3622]

I can't blame him for retiring but I sure miss him. 😊

[@shawubble]

Loved It😊

[@Banjo_Tails]

Left out the conversation how Disney got rid of the original voice/performers to pay new voices less money. Disney has no idea how to use or handle the muppets. It’s disappointing such a great IP that’s been left on the shelf

[@simplenough]

Depressing. I wish they were public domain tbh

[@barcelonachair6487]

I grew up with the wheat blonde Miss Piggy. That piggy just feels right. I guess platinum piggy is her modern reinvention, along with the eye job, botox and rhinoplasty. Jim Henson was the icon.

[@Nocturne22]

Aging in Hollywood for women is hard! If she wants to keep working, she needed to have some work done.

[@jaredjlinden]

Thank god for Eric Jacobson. I wish we could get a Kermit performer who sounds closer to Jim Henson.

[@jayt4835]

Legend!!!! DIVA!!!!

[@helenpatterson3858]

I love Frank O, almost as much as I love the immortal Jim Henson.

[@jenniferhansen3622]

Me too. ❤❤

[@digital2500]

Wonderful interview by Howard University's own Michelle Miller!!

[@mrquenya]

Ok im just gonna go with this…… But I will say this one would think since Disney owns both Muppets and ABC that ABC News would be doing the interview but im at least glad they acknowledge that Miss Piggy is a fictional character

[@Nigarİsmayilova-t4o]

Bravo 😊 miss piggy you are sweet

[@jacobtennyson9213]

I hope she never joins Hell’s Kitchen. It would be sad if Gordon called her a muppet.

The muppet show didn’t air on CBS, it was syndicated

The CBS owned and operated stations aired it, and they had a hand in the production (acknowledged in the closing credits). But you’re right - it was not on CBS proper.
