But I can't, I don't know what to do,

He said it was up to you,

Oh, hello, Hiya, hiya, hiya,

Hey... Maybe you can tell
that I am not Kermit the frog,

You see, just moments
ago Kermit went home,

He's not feeling very well,
So he left me in charge,

Oh no, did you hear that?

I wonder how sick the frog is?

Well, if he put the bear
in charge, he's very sick,

Give me a break, guys, huh?

Look, we'll still have
a great time tonight,

because I know exactly what to do,

Talk about Nancy Walker,
- Oh yeah, oh yeah,

Tonight's wonderfuI guest star

is the very talented lady of song
and comedy, Miss Nancy Walker,

Now what?
- Introduce the opening number,

Introduce the... Oh, yeah,
Here is the opening number!

Leave the stage!
- Oh, yeah, yeah,

Be gentle, I'm new at this,

Oh, for once we got a blast
out of something on this show,

Yeah, but how do you dig
a foxhole in a theatre box?

Oh, boy, You'll be OK,

Oh, I hope the damage wasn't too bad,

Hey, Fozzie, Kermit's on the phone,

He wants to talk to you,
- Oh, thanks Scooter,

You nervous with all
your new responsibility?

Me, nervous? Are you kidding?

Hello, Hmm? Wha...?

Oh! Oh, hello, Kermit, Oh, hi, Yeah,

The opening? Oh, great, yeah,

Everybody got a... big bang out of it,

Huh? Oh, don't worry
about Nancy Walker,

I'll give her a classy introduction,

Sure, sure, sure,
Everything's under controI,

Hey Fozzie, Fozzie,
what's on stage next?

I don't know, What's on stage now?

Nothing,
- Nothing's on stage?!

Nothing out front either,
The audience is leaving,

The audience... The aud... The...

Wait, wait, please wait, Oh,
Come back, please, everybody!

We have a lot more show left, honest,

Oh, Oh, thank you,
Thank you, Yeah, listen,

It's guest star time!

And we have for you
the incredibly talented,

I forgot!

Nancy Walker!

Of course!

Here she is, Miss Nancy Walker in...

Wait a minute, I'm
in this next sketch,

Scooter!
- What, what?

Fill, fill,
- Well, what should I say?

Whatever, I gotta
go put my costume on,

But, but...

Oh, hi everybody, Listen,

I'm selling magazine subscriptions
to win a skateboard at schooI,

and I was wondering if I could
interest anybody out there

in issues of Field and
Farmer for only five...

All right, Scooter, all
right, Enough, I'm ready,

Oh... Well, then...

Then here's Nancy Walker... I guess,

Oh, Hello, and what
can I do for you today?

I'd like a menu, some water...

...and a whip,

Don't worry, his bark
is worse than his bite,

If he barks, I'm leaving,

One water coming up,

Where's the glass?

What glass?
- "What glass?"

I asked you first,

Look, I put a glass right here,

I'll fess up, I ate it,

It's gonna be one of those days,

Now wait a minute,

What is going on here?
- What's the matter?

What'd you do, break
it? Where's the pitcher?

What pitcher?
- "What pitcher?"

She asked you first,
- You stay out of this,

Now look, I know I put
a pitcher right here,

Maybe you just think you did,

I don't think, I know,

I don't think you know either,

Look, all I know is
that I put a pitcher

and a second glass of water here,

And now the second glass is gone?!

Do me a favour, just get
the menu back here please,

I didn't take the menu away!

Listen...

I can understand somebody
swiping two glasses and a pitcher,

but will you tell me two things?
- What?!

Who would take a menu,

and why is the air conditioning
being turned on in December?

You know what I think?

I think you're right,

Come here,

Worth a try,

Hey, hand me that tray of
stuff there, will you, cook?

Yeah, yeah, whatever,

Hey, look at the time,
I gotta go wax the oven,

Oh, Well, I'd better
go paint the garage,

Gotcha!

A-ha! You don't think we
know what you're doing, huh?

Yeah!
- Yeah, we saw you,

We know exactly what you're doing!
- You bet!

You're hogging the
whole place for yourself,

Give me a bite,
- What?!

You ever tried any of this?

Mmm, This is good,

Everybody eats,

Yeah, boy, that Nancy Walker's
a great actress, isn't she?

Yeah, but I wouldn't want
to take her to dinner,

Hey Kermit, Fozzie's really doing a
terrific job with the show tonight,

Oh, the opening
number was sensationaI,

Oh, those holes in the
theatre will be easy to fix,

And you should have seen the way
he got the audience to come back

after they started to leave,
- Hey, Gonzo!

What are you doing to me?

I was only trying to tell Kermit
what a great job you're doing,

I'll tell him, I'll tell him!

Give me the phone!
- All right!

All right! All right,
At The Dance everybody,

Oh, hi, Kermit, Listen, I
got to make an introduction,

I'll be right back and
explain everything, Oh, boy!

Oh,

Hello, Kermie, is that you?

Oh, Kermie, I was
just going to call you,

Yes, I'm dedicating the
Veterinarian's Hospital sketch to you,

Love of my life, Au revoir.

Hey, Piggy, we can't
do the hospitaI sketch,

Fozzie just introduced At The Dance.

At The Dance?

I promised Kermit the hospitaI sketch,

And that is what we're going to do!

OK, but we better get out
there, The sketch is starting,

And now, Veterinarian's HospitaI,

the continuing story of a
quack who has gone to the dogs.

Dr Bob, what is this
man suffering from?

I don't know, maybe it's rumbatism,

Oh, Do you come here often?

Mmm, only to have my appendix out,

Wow, Dr Bob, there are
dancers in this operating room,

What should we do?

What else? The foxtrot,

Dr Bob! This is an operating room,

We've got to be serious now,

Why? We've never been serious before,

Are you the doctor?
- That's what I tell people,

Well, would you remove a
large growth from my toe?

Sure, what is it?
- Him,

Hey, by the way, How come we're
dancing in an operating room?

Because, Although the
song will soon be over,

the malady lingers on,

And so, Dr. Bob has gone to the dance.

Tune in next week and
hear Miss Piggy say...

This sketch is a disaster,
Dr Bob, What should we do?

What else? A big finish,

Oh, I don't believe that,

Oh, Scooter, the
show is falling apart,

I practically blow up the theatre,
then the audience starts to leave,

and now two sketches
go on at the same time,

Oh, boy,
- Way to go, bear!

Oh, Scooter, what else can go wrong?

Well, the crew's
talking about quitting,

What?

You know, the stage hand, the
prop man, the lighting man,

I think you'd better talk to them,

Well, all right, Who do you
think I should talk to first?

Maybe you better start
with the lighting man,

I think you're right, Harvey!

Hey, I just wanna tell you, I know
the show has been a little shaky,

but I've got everything under
controI now, Miss Walker,

Miss who?
- Oh, Walker, isn't that right?

Oh, yeah, Come on, I was only kidding,

Anyway, the show isn't that bad,
- It isn't?

No, I mean, look, the audience liked
it, They all came back, they stayed,

Yeah,

Very clever of you to lock the doors,

That's cruelty to bears,

Listen, as for the... sketches
being done at the same time,

Do you know how many
times I've seen that done?

How many? How many?

Never!

You know what I do when
things don't go right?

No,

Yeah, but...

Oh, oh, thank you,
thank you, Miss Walker,

I feeI terrific now,

Well, I'm glad you're happy,
- Yeah,

But listen,

That's just a song, Your
show's in a lot of trouble,

I would just like to say a few words

about nudity in the world today,

And I, for one, am
just appalled by it,

Why, did you know that
underneath their clothing,

the entire population of
the world is walking around

completely naked?!

Is that disgusting?

And it's not just people, although,
goodness knows, that's bad enough,

But animals too,

Even cute little doggies and
pussycats can't be trusted,

Underneath their
fur, absolutely naked!

And it's not just
the quadrupeds either!

Birds, too! Yes, Beneath those
fine feathers, birds wear nothing,

Nothing at all!

Well, how do you feeI about nudity?

Well, personally, it
always left me cold,

Miss Walker, I was wondering if
I could borrow your hairbrush,

Of course, sweetheart, come in,
- Oh, thank you so much,

You know, I certainly do
appreciate this, Miss Walker,

Oh, just call me Nancy,

Oh, I knew it, I just
knew you'd be nice,

Why? 'Cause I let you use
my hairbrush? Big deaI,

No, no, because of those
parts you play on television,

I just knew you'd be
an overly considerate,

protective, mother-type person,

I just knew it,
- Well, I'll tell you the truth,

I'm no more protective of
people than anybody else,

I mean, that mother thing is an act,

Oh?

Hi, Oh, hello, Kermit,
- Oh, Kermie, my Kermie, He's sick,

You're sick? Oh, Well, listen,
Kermit, here's what I want you to do,

I want you to drink lots of
liquids, No, don't eat anything,

Starve a fever, feed a cold, right?

Get into bed, turn the
electric blanket way up high,

and I'll be right over
with some chicken soup,

Listen what have you
got? Flu? What kind?

Oh, dear,
- No kidding, that's the worst,

Oh, no,
- He's got swine flu,

Swine flu?!

Take this, frog!

I think we have kind of
a bad connection here,

Hey Fozzie, it's time to introduce
Nancy Walker's musicaI number,

Oh, Scooter, you do it, I
can't go out on stage again,

I'm too ashamed,
Everything's gone wrong,

Well, maybe this will cheer you up,

Why, what is this, what is this?
- Well, just read it,

Oh, all right, "Dear Fozzie,
I just want to tell you

what a pleasure it was to
work with you on your show,

You're really terrific,

The frog's been holding you back,

Nancy Walker,"

You ready to do the introduction now?

Oh, I sure am, I feeI great,

There, You can read it if you want to,

I don't have to read it, I wrote it,

Hey, and now, ladies and gentlemen,

I take great pride in presenting
our wonderfuI guest star...

Fozzie, don't forget
her name this time,

Gonzo, I will not forget her name,
- It's Nancy Walker,

I know it's Nancy Walker,
- That's "Nancy", Rhymes with "fancy,"

I know, I know,
- "Walker," rhymes with "talker,"

Gonzo, I have it,

And it's "Nancy Walker,"
not "Fancy Talker,"

Gonzo, I know the guest
star's name is Nancy Walker,

I remember Nancy Walker,
I will not forget the name,

OK,

You forgot to introduce her,

Yeah, well everybody,
I mean, what can I say?

You know, it's not
been much of a show,

and you've probably had a lousy time,

And Kermit will probably fire me,
- You're fired,

Kermit, what are you doing here?

Well, I figured Nancy Walker deserved
at least one decent introduction,

Oh, Kermit, I'm so glad to see you,

OK, OK, OK, you're hired again,

Let me just do the introduction,

Ladies and gentlemen, a big round
of applause for Miss Nancy...

Ah! You blew it too,
It's Nancy Walker!

Yeah, yeah, yeah,

Listen, Kermit, Don't
worry about a thing,

I had a wonderfuI time,
- Oh, yeah?

It was nice working with
what's his name... the bear,

OK, we'll see you all next time on...

Goodbye everybody, Yeah,

WonderfuI, I loved it,
- Who was your favourite?

Who else? The frog,
