Overview
- Kermit appeared on Thursday’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! to promote a 50th‑anniversary The Muppet Show special.
- On air, Kimmel asked if Kermit would guest-host during his summer hiatus, and Kermit responded enthusiastically.
- Outlets note it is unclear whether the exchange signaled a real booking or playful banter.
- The anniversary special is set to debut next week on ABC and Disney+, with Seth Rogen among the featured guests.
- Coverage recalls Kermit’s extensive late‑night history, including guest-hosting Johnny Carson in 1979 in a producer-backed episode later described by staff as both the hardest and best they made.
