Muppets Tonight Episode Rating Graph

Pierce Brosnan is depressed over the fact that he isn't as debonair as his James Bond character, but he finally gets a chance to prove himself when the Crustacean Liberation Army attempts to take the Muppet Studios hostage and only he can save them.

A freak incident in the elevator leaves Martin Short in a tight squeeze and later some delicious spaghetti sauce leaves him feeling large.

The Artist Formerly Known As Prince comes to guest star and gives some song suggestions.

Miss Piggy is due to be in the show's closing number, but she is late for various reasons, which causes some panic for Clifford and the others.

The Muppets have a new show at the KMUP network and a new host, Clifford (no one else wanted the job). In need of a big star for the first episode, Clifford accidentally agrees to both Michelle Pfeiffer and Miss Piggy guest staring without them knowing.

The KMUP studios have been bought by a new owner, Ernst Stavros Grouper. He believes that the Muppets are just not hip enough, and he wants to make some changes. Coolio and Don Rickles guest star; Ed McMahon, Bernard Shaw, and Fred Willard make cameo appearances.

With Beaker off on a Star Trek cruise (where he encounters George Takei), Dr. Bunsen Honeydew realizes his life is very empty. Bunsen and guest star, Andie MacDowell, decide to take a walk on the wild side. Bob Keeshan and Ben Stein make cameo appearances with special performance by Liz Gandara, Lisa Thompson, and Jennifer Keyes as the Fly Girls.

Gonzo and Rizzo host a collage of video clips of the best moments from past episodes. This was because the pre-recorded episode tape had been eaten by Carl, along with the tape-playing machine during a cheese-eating contest. As Gonzo and Rizzo walk off the stage, they notice that Statler and Waldorf have just finished broadcasting their own show titled The Worst of Muppets Tonight. Of course, they showed the exact same clips that Gonzo and Rizzo showed.

John Goodman saves the lives of Miss Piggy's annoying nephews (Andy and Randy), but soon regrets it when they become his slaves and won't leave him alone.

A crazed robot of President Lincoln runs amuck throughout the Muppet Studios while Clifford repeatedly tries to grab a kiss from Paula Abdul.

Following a spat with his mama, Johnny Fiama leaves home. Daryl Hannah, Page Hannah, and Johnny Mathis make cameo appearances.

Garth Brooks surprises everyone when he says he'll be doing something different for the show and won't sing any country music songs.

Old school friends, Gonzo and Jason Alexander, attempt to bring their musical onto the show. But their disagreements could end the project.

Clifford notices that everyone thinks Dennis Quaid does a better job running the studios, and he begins to feel left out and rejected. Meanwhile, Gilbert Gottfried wins a date with Kermit, and Kermit tries to survive it.
