I think Johnny Cash loved every moment of this.

[@starlightgarnet]

Look at that smile - that's not a fake one for the camera!

[@pmyodb1]

Johnny tried to keep a straight face but he couldn't help but laugh at Gonzo....LOVE THIS :D

[@teridamron2810]

Even I couldn’t keep a straight face at Gonzo! I even laughed! Lol!

[@crithon]

makes me shile to see him smile. He's the best.

[@haplessasshole9615]

@@teridamron2810 Who in the world could _possibly_ keep a straight face around Gonzo? He's one of their best character designs.

This makes me sad as my dad passed away this year age 68 he loved Johnny cash and watched all the muppets when he was in his 20s during the 70s and early 80s I’m only 23 but I’m glad I knew a lot about my dad and got to spend up until 23 with the man 😢

[@vorlux6354]

Sorry for Your loss

[@haplessasshole9615]

I'll be 68 soon, and my dear old Southern Daddy just turned 92. We watched Muppets together all through my childhood and youth. First, we enjoyed Rowlf on _The Jimmy Dean Show_ starting in 1963. Then, we'd catch Henson & Co. every time they were slotted on a variety or talk show. I was sorely disappointed in how sidelined Rowlf was on _Sesame Street_ when it got cranked up during my high school years. In June of 1976, when I was home from college, he got home from work one evening to find me folding laundry and watching _The Muppet Show._ He changed clothes, fixed himself a drink, sat down, and said, "What is this?" "Muppets! And Rowlf's on, too!" Daddy showed little interest in the musical number, but then a flurry of puns erupted, and he was 100% in. He still loves Statler and Waldorf.

The Muppet Show used to be so much fun.

[@alexandrahamm3343]

[@anklebiterwoodworks2818]

All I can say is this: how many takes did it require that Johnny Cash to actually make it through with the Muppets.

[@slapshot68]

Elvis if he sang country music

[@davidfarmer2193]

0:28 That should've been Animal lol.

[@travisbayles870]

This is awesome I love that the Confederate flag can be shown on Tv without some idiot getting offended Im so sick of Political Correctness

[@nafet]

Confederates were fighting for an evil cause, the ability enslave men.

[@wasd____]

Yeah awesome they can show a symbol of slavery and oppression, because being against those things the Confederacy represented is just POLITICALLLLL CORRRRRECTNESSSSSS!!!!! ...Yep. Political correctness. That's all it is. That's the only reason symbols of hate are bad. Because someone wants to be "politically correct."

[@user-sw4dm1qj2x]

That flag is beautiful love the South

[@wasd____]

It's the flag of traitors who lost.

[@alwinwinter1645]

I agree, the Stars and Stripes are beautuful. Now what exactly did the people under that other flag fight for again?

[@John-p9m2c]

Lmao

[@matthewtarpley948]

My how times have changed! You could never put the confederate battle flag on a muppets special today. These were better days!

[@STREETGH0ST]

[@JSolo-ko9eh]

Facts!

[@elliedrama46]

I think the muppets have grown past that ignorance, sorry you haven't caught up yet!

[@matthewtarpley948]

@dogmobile because hundreds of thousands of God fearing Southerners died for it, and they deserve to be remembered and honored.

[@christianmathis3320]

@dogmobile America hasn't won a war in almost a hundred years.... we spend trillions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of lives lost and maimed throughout the world . America is the number one exporter of arms in the world . We arm suddam Hussein , osam bud laden , that the taliban , the viet cong, hundreds of nations throughout history that almost all end up using them against us. Who are the losers

[@dsheldon57]

Season 5 Episode 14 has Mac Davis, Johnny's on Season 5 episode 21. Please change the description?

Ok, I'm remembering, that flag might represent the Norwegian flag... 😊

[@user-rc9zc3on6w]

God bless America! And confederation rebel flag it's very very cool!

[@elliedrama46]

Oh goodness, you must have missed the memo! That flag represents so many hate groups across the country, the muppets wouldn't associate with them, and neither should you! ❤

[@nafet]

Not cool, evil.

[@wasd____]

@@user-rc9zc3on6w Are you unironically asking why a polity that supported slavery and racism is evil? You REALLY need to ask that???
