The Muppets are no stranger to Late Night With Jimmy Fallon—they've made 13 appearances on the show since 2009, including a few Christmas-themed singalongs. Last night, Kermit and Robin (Kermit's nephew) showed up to sing "When The River Meets The Sea," a sweet little tune from the John Denver/The Muppets '70s album, with Fallon and The Roots. Watch it below! more ›

Jason Segel, who has a little movie called The Muppets coming out this week, just talked extensively about his hosting duties on Saturday Night Live, also offering up this cute anecdote to Moviefone—his list of goals that he made when he was a kid had three things on it: to be on Letterman, to work with the Muppets, and to host SNL. He told them, "I did all three last week. In one week! That's not hyperbole, that's an actual list I had." more ›

Tonight, Jason Segel—the man entrusted with bringing the Muppets back onto the silver screen—will be the host on Saturday Night Live (check out the promos below). We have a lot of faith in him—after all, this is Nick Andopolis we're talking about, and anyone who can nail Styx's "Lady" is gold in our book. We're keeping our fingers crossed for a Muppets cameo tonight, but until then, we've really been enjoying this clip of Kermit the Frog performing “Life’s a Happy Song”—the opening number from the upcoming Muppets movie—with Flight of the Conchords' Bret McKenzie, the movie's music supervisor (and the song's author). Watch that below: more ›

Luckily, we can never tire of the Muppets, so it's totally fine with us that they've been jamming this new movie down our throats for nearly a year now. In their latest move to captivate the audience prior to the big opening day (Thanksgiving), the fun-loving creatures have channeled their darker side. Their new posters have them dressed up as characters from another movie coming out this week, Twilight: Breaking Dawn, which our little cousin tells us is the first part of the two part big screen finale for that series. Are you on Team Edward, or Team Green (that's Kermit, of course)? more ›

Before the Muppets take over the cineplexes this Thanksgiving (which, don't get us wrong, is going to be awesome!), brush up on some of the lesser-known, and sometimes less-kid-friendly puppets to make it to the silver screen at BAM's "Puppets on Film" exhibit. more ›

It's the strange musical collaboration of your nightmares: the new Lou Reed/Metallica (Loutallica) cranky metal album Lulu is now streaming online, just sitting there waiting for unsuspecting ears to pulverize. Pitchfork editor Brandon Stosuy's friend Seldon Hunt summed it up perfectly: "'Wow. Sounds like Woody Allen trying to tell a joke in your ear at a Limp Bizkit concert.'" You can stream the whole Frankenstinian concoction here, enjoy the Stereogum comment party here, or just skip straight to watching the Muppets "perform" a cover of "Pumping Blood" below (via Scott at Stereogum). Beaker is Lou! more ›

Prepare your hankies for a Very Special upcoming episode of ever-relevant Sesame Street covering a not-so-cute issue: hunger. Meet Lily, a new Muppet created to represent one of the 17 million American children who are going hungry today. So much for sunny days. more ›

When Mayor Bloomberg decides to leave politics, don't expect him to be out of the public eye just yet: Bloomberg has developed quite the acting career for himself over the years. Inspired by his recent cameo on the season finale of Curb Your Enthusiasm—which he reportedly ad-libbed—we decided to take a look at some of Bloomberg's other fine moments in film. more ›

The Henson Company has uploaded a couple of new vintage gems to the YouTubes. First up, listen to a couple of cool cats Muppets talk about jazz, man. It's like a scene out of Reefer Madness! more ›

OK Go: they had you at treadmill, and now they're back with their own version of the Muppets theme song. The video, featuring a lot of Muppets!, was released today—check it out below. more ›

Muppets-mania is sweeping the nation! The latest release from the franchise isn't due out until Thanksgiving, but Jason Segel & Co. have the marketing machine all revved up. He recently talked to /Film, and if you don't have time to read three internet pages about the movie right now, here's what we learned: more ›

We've been treated to some teaser trailers, but now The Muppets have finally delivered some full-length action. The Jason Segel-scripted film isn't due out until Thanksgiving, but the marketing machine is in full force, and as TotalFilm.com notes, you will be "swept up by a wave of nostalgia" upon clicking play. (Not that anyone thought Segel would ruin the franchise, did you see his Muppet-esque rock opera in Forgetting Sarah Marshall? Genius.) And for those wondering, this trailer does show Muppet feet. more ›

Move over, Old Spice guy, there's a new player in the personalized YouTube response to Twitter questions game. And it's former mayor Ed Koch! The 85-year-old, whose current effort, New York Uprising, is to remind voters to demand reform in the Empire State, answered questions like "How can we get from the government we deserve to the government we need?" and "what is your take on Pres. Obama's comments about the 'wisdom' of building a mosque downtown" more ›

Can any Muppet really be that bad? This website has come up with a list of what they say are the 10 worst Muppets ever, or as they put it: "Even the best shows on television have bad characters... here is the real list of Muppets who suck." Pepe the Prawn comes in at #1 — but isn't it at least endearing that there's a prawn-inspired Muppet? Also on the list: Kermit's nephew Robin, Mr. Poodlepants, Clifford, and... Dr. Bunsen Honeydew! For shame, list makers. Who are your least favorite Muppets? more ›

Last night the Muppet gang visited the Late Night with Jimmy Fallon set, singing "The Twelve Days of Christmas" with the host (and with the Roots backing them all up). Waldorf and Statler were nowhere to be seen, or heard! more ›

Oh how times have changed: Statler and Waldorf use the internet now! They checked out this new rendition of "Carol of the Bells" by Beaker, Animal, and the Swedish Chef... and guess what? They hated it. Alas, some things never change with those two Scrooges. To their point however, the recent Muppets version of "Bohemian Rhapsody" was much better. more ›

Earlier today, some of our favorite Muppets descended upon the James A. Farley Post Office on 8th Avenue to kick off the annual Letters to Santa program. The letter adoption program enables "members of the public and charitable organizations to respond to children’s letters addressed to Santa Claus, the North Pole and other seasonal characters." more ›

The gang from Sesame Street was out walking the red carpet last night for their 7th Annual Gala benefiting the Sesame Workshop. Held far away from their Astoria home at Cipriani on 42nd Street, the muppets (friends of the First Lady) greeted some bold-face names, and Sheryl Crow even performed a duet with Elmo. Here are some of your Sesame faves (glad to see Grover made it out!) with the likes of Mayor Bloomberg, Brian Williams and Al Roker. Why do you think muppets hate Al Roker so much; maybe he didn't deliver enough "sunny days" to the street? more ›

We knew that Office creator Ricky Gervais doesn't hold back on his signature off-color smarminess when he appears on award shows, but apparently children's shows aren't safe from it either. Gervais recently visited the set of Sesame Street and taught Elmo a word we're pretty sure the show hasn't learned before. But despite Gervais's notorious quick wit, puppeteer extraordinaire Kevin Clash didn't miss a beat. Here's the AP's clip of the two of them behind the scenes. more ›

As the world readies for a new Late Night talk show host, here's a little history lesson on Jimmy Fallon's new set, which also housed Jack Paar's (and Johnny Carson's) Tonight Show. In the video below, circa 1984, Paar gives David Letterman a tour of his old studio, where Letterman's Late Night desk also sat. One door inside of a dressing room that remained locked for 20 years is opened to reveal some masterfully adorned pipes, a tribute from Jim Henson and the Muppets to Paar. Fallon confirms that the pipes are still there, and says "We're preserving it and putting it behind plexi." more ›
