Seth Rogen Joins The Muppet Show Revival for a Creative Catch-Up with Kermit and Miss Piggy

In a new promotional clip for The Muppet Show, Seth Rogen sits down with Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy to discuss their recent collaboration.

What’s Happening:

• Disney+ has recently launched the return of a variety show classic, and Seth Rogen is right in the middle of the chaos.
• The comedic actor recently sat down with Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy to discuss their collaboration on the new iteration of The Muppet Show.
• Miss Piggy revealed her rigorous acting process, which involves "living in the character" (and demanding zero eye contact from castmates) both during and after shooting.
• Seth Rogen admitted to feeling intimidated by the legacy of the show, expressing a deep desire for long-time fans to love the new material.
• Kermit and Piggy celebrated five decades of working together, though they notably disagreed on whether the secret to their success is leadership or concession.

• Much like the classic guests of the 1970s (ranging from Steve Martin to Carol Burnett) Rogen finds himself playing the guest star role with some zany comedic timing.
• The clip showcases a return to the meta-humor that has defined the Muppets for decades: the idea that they are real actors with real egos and a real, 50-year-old history of conceding to one another's demands.
• Laughing Place's Alex Reif recently reviewed The Muppet Show (2026), saying "it rekindles the joy, rhythm, and irreverence of one of television’s most beloved formats."
• We also covered the return of the classic Muppet Show theme song.
