New episode! Diana Ross

Diana Ross — Muppeturgy When Diana Ross smiles at us, we go to Rio! We’re holding up little cards to rate this episode — and the whole season — this week.

New episode! Andy Williams

Andy Williams — Muppeturgy Where do we begin? Ideally not here but it’s what we’ve got. This is a weird one, where Andy Williams’ face is waxier than the Muppet cheese and his joke delivery is cheesier than…also the Muppet cheese. It’s also our second week in a row with a Cronenbergian nightmare. But there’s also ...

New episode! Doug Henning

New episode! Carol Channing

Carol Channing — Muppeturgy Ay ay ay it’s the Carol Channing episode! It will have you asking why it’s so cold in here, can a pig really have big feet (or wear high heels), if diamonds really are a girl’s best friend, and when did I have dead fish? Say hello, Dolly, and don’t forget to check out the website to lay thos...

New episode! Mark Hamill &The Stars of Star Wars, featuring our own very special guest star, Todd Brian Backus!

Mark Hamill & The Stars of Star Wars — Muppeturgy It is a dark time for Muppeturgy. Mid episodes like Anne Murray, Phyllis George, and the sinister Jonathan Winters have taken a toll on the brave hosts. During the battle, Disney+ managed to serve up a not-so-secret episode starring Mark Hamill and the stars of Star Wars, a cast with enough charm t

New episode! Jonathan Winters, featuring our very special guest star Daniel M. Lavery!

Jonathan Winters — Muppeturgy Very special guest star Danny Lavery joins us to discuss a truly cursed episode of The Muppet Show , plus Mork & Mindy , racist tropes, surprise heterosexuality in the monoculture, and lions, tigers and aliens (oh my!)

New episode! Amy Spalding joins us to discuss Anne Murray’s appearance on The Muppet Show.

Anne Murray — Muppeturgy We could blame Canada for this episode, but that would suggest they did something wrong, rather than give us the delightful Anne Murray (a Canadian working in the American idiom). Though a “middle of the middle” episode may suit the beigeness of Ms. Murray’s catalog a little too well, she’s ...

New episode! Phyllis George, featuring our own very special guest star, Joe Reid!

Phyllis George — Muppeturgy And the winner is…Phyllis George! For the rest of us it’s a tie at best. We’re joined by Joe Reid to talk award shows, sportscasting, Miss America, and when a clip show isn’t a clip show.
