The sketch originated on Sam and Friends where Kermit is bothered by two fingers, which he eats. When a third one appears, Kermit pulls it up, revealing an entire human hand. The two inspect each other before the hand tickles Kermit off the wall. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f4065bbe65942250bb8b3b/83acd29d-3af6-4459-befd-5ae6442802af/BUSINESS+B.png About - Business Business “Business Business” is a variety sketch performed on The Ed Sullivan Show in February 1968. Jim Henson developed the routine under the original title "Sell-Out." In the sketch, two creatures discuss business and financial terms. Two other creatures join in to battle the business creatures with words of love and kindness. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f4065bbe65942250bb8b3b/d195b828-17da-420b-a360-1851464bc476/FACE+B.png About - I’ve Grown Accustomed to Your Face "I've Grown Accustomed to Your Face" developed by Jim Henson, was performed on several different variety shows throughout the 1950s and 1960s - including NBC's Tonight!, The Steve Allen Show, The Jack Paar Show, and The Ed Sullivan Show, among others. In the bit, a woman (originally Kermit the Frog wearing a wig) lip synchs to the Rosemary Clooney recording, singing to a small creature that appears to have a deceivingly adorable face. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f4065bbe65942250bb8b3b/859922cb-6fb0-4618-b60c-7890dee9cbd5/COOL+B.png About - Cool Jazz “Cool Jazz” is a routine originally performed by the Muppets on Sam and Friends in 1961, then was done on several variety shows during the 1960s. The sketch involves three gloved human hands tapping and dancing to a cool jazz rendition of "Flying Home" only to be interrupted by a fourth hand playing "Stars and Stripes Forever" on a radio. The current version uses a well known “less cool” march. The sketch was taped for The Jimmy Dean Show but never aired. https://www.puppetup.com/castcrew daily 0.75 2025-12-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f4065bbe65942250bb8b3b/1492466834342-PHY9B3FKJUZ8JP76B7A5/image-asset.jpeg Cast & Crew https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f4065bbe65942250bb8b3b/1492466217798-YP57GSC7K7842OFU0UMF/image-asset.jpeg Cast & Crew https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f4065bbe65942250bb8b3b/1492466715015-63PI2DF5GRQHCU7V6ETI/image-asset.jpeg Cast & Crew https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f4065bbe65942250bb8b3b/1492466345296-YBOLNAIHGB9I84FYN4I2/image-asset.jpeg Cast & Crew https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f4065bbe65942250bb8b3b/1492467026686-0N4EMPP6Y9D1IXDLXTPD/image-asset.jpeg Cast & Crew https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f4065bbe65942250bb8b3b/1492464358212-R6DWD5T7MU29F7PCLXSO/image-asset.jpeg Cast & Crew - Brian Henson (Creator, Producer, Performer) Brian Henson is an award-winning director, producer, writer and performer.
