Stephen And Kermit Ask The Big Questions

[@cpcoultertweedles7216]

"Hey Kermit the Frog?" "Yes Stephen the Person?" I cracked up. Never thought about it that way

[@Z-INC.BYZARIA]

1:33 so genius!

[@rebekahweber2413]

I've always answered that way when he speaks to someone..

[@jonochrome]

Kermit's regret was my favorite

[@benpage11]

I did not expect to see you here

[@TrogdorMan]

A bunch of people seem to know you now from some fangame, but they will never know just how amazing a 3 eyed smiley face in a Link hat taking the Golden Gate Bridge out of a bottle so he can cross a canyon can be.

[@smokejc]

+ben page Why not? Or did you just want to say something pointless to get his attention?

[@benpage11]

+smokejc I was bored so I type something

[@SamuraiEchidna]

For some reason, I was expecting him to say Muppet Babies.

[@PaddySnuffles]

I love how all the adults _lose their shit_ when they see Kermit. We're so mature. xD

Kermit might as well just be a real actor as this point

[@josephmorales652]

Id watch him in a Chris Nolan movie

[@J0ECRAWF15H]

The future's going to be weird, man.... hopefully in a good way.

[@LoriWolfcat]

Pickle Master Technically, since he starred in the Muppets movies, he is.

[@ascent8487]

He is! I'll hear none of this doubt!

[@DarkcIoud1111]

Considering he has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, I would say he is a real actor. Not one of those B movie actors on the Syfy channel.

[@audiotinker]

I think Kermit needs to branch out in his acting career. He's pretty much just accepted as a regular actor lol. We all think of him as "alive".

[@retnavybrat]

This should be a weekly segment...talkin about life with Kermit

[@zelda6378]

yeah totally kermit should be colbert's permanent sidekick teehee- if so this show would outshine all the others almost too well though

[@zztopz7090]

It already is. I like the other talk shows too, but I like this one just more in general. I just sense that Stephen works harder.

I love how tiny Stephen's pillow is, it's like as soon as Kermit and Stephen pulled up to the viewpoint Stephen forgot to bring his own pillow and Kermit very sweetly packed a second pillow just in case, but forgot that Stephens head is much bigger than his but Stephen was just so endeared by Kermit's generosity he used it anyway.

[@rosering02]

Aww, that's so nice!

It is amazing how the person who controls kermit thinks so fast and thinks in a way that he is really a frog.

[@LchanOtakudom]

No matter how old you get, the Muppets will always bring a smile to anyone’s face!

[@coby4480]

The best part about this is it’s still kid friendly because Kermit is predominantly for children, but he’s self aware which substitutes for it.

What an artful way to handle Kermit ! Just watch his movements. It is just beautiful ! The questions are incredible. Great Both of them were great !

[@theorenfamily]

Stephen: I love listening to all those frogs. Camera: pans over to show Kermit Audience: completely loses it

[@sweiland75]

I enjoy watching Kermit but I was wondering how he is actually puppeteered there.

[@southerncross5719]

Normally its a flat set piece but isntead you can see the curves in the grass and the blanket, revealing that its more on a raised platform and or couch, kermit in this case is operated by two puppeteers, one under the blanket with hand going into the back of kermits neck, the other behind the camera working kermits hands and knees.

[@9799972419]

They arent laying down. they are laying against a platform made to.look like they are laying down. rhe grass is cgi

[@raymonddagostino6118]

Understage. Muppets are built like that.

[@drunkenrampage1588]

[@LoriWolfcat]

Stephen: Kermit, do. you think we have free will, or is someone controlling our every movement? Kermit: (looks at himself) Uhh . . . Gee, uh (wags his arm) . . . Huh, I guess I never thought about it! 😹 I love Kermit! ❤️
