Muppets Now
Available on Disney+
MUPPETS NOW is a series within a series about the Muppets putting on a show; this time it's a streaming series with a variety of different segments. Segments include "Muppet Masters," where Walter interstitials show Scooter, the always harried producer, working hard to upload each part of the show, with lots of stressful input from the other Muppets. "Mup Close and Personal" is an "inspirational" interview series hosted by Kermit that's pretty touching until it's hijacked by Gonzo asking questions pertinent to his interests, like "How many pennies do you think would fit in this room?" and "Are you disappointed you're not awake when spiders crawl into your mouth?" Miss Piggy tries her hand at beauty influencer videos, and the Swedish Chef returns to butcher various cuisines. The diverse group of guests includes RuPaul (RuPaul's Drag Race), Taye Diggs (Rent), chef Carlina Will, and Linda Cardellini (Freaks and Geeks).
