Most LOVED vs. Most HATED MUPPET SHOW Guest Stars

Do you believe the frog is real? That was the one unwritten rule of The Muppet Show — and every guest star either understood it, or didn't. In this video, we go through ten of the most iconic guest stars in Muppet Show history and rank them into two camps: the ones who got it completely right, and the ones who didn't. From Buddy Rich's legendary drum battle with Animal to the guest stars fans have never forgiven — plus one name that somehow ended up on both lists at the same time. This is not a celebration video. It's an analysis of the one rule that made The Muppet Show the greatest variety show ever made — and what happened when guest stars broke it.
