Puppeteers Jim Henson and Frank Oz are in conversation with Russell Harty, along with appearances from their Muppet creations Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, and Statler and Waldorf. Plus an interview with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sheila Hocken. Kermit introduces the show from on top of a studio camera. Jim Henson and Frank Oz are interviewed saying that they have driven down from the Elstree studios after taping the Muppet Show. They talk about having fun whilst working, Frank talks about the performers being half crazy, and describes talking about lust and karate chopping people with Miss Piggy. Jim talks about making Kermit from his mother's spring coat and that originally when he first made Kermit, and first used him for several years, he was just a character and not a frog necessarily. Kermit discusses things to come in series two; Pigs in Space and J.P. Grosse. Fozzie comes out and looks into Russell's' ears informing him that they are dirty. Russell asks Kermit why they had Fozzie back for the second series, and Kermit informs him that they auditioned other comedians, one being a hilarious wolverine, but didn''t hire him because he wouldn''t work for the kind of money that they pay the bear. Russell asks Fozzie for a joke, and he goes into a cataleptic fit. They discuss Robin's rise to fame and how it''s a threat to Kermit. Kermit and Russell try to talk privately about his love life. Miss Piggy arrives and he is deeply, deeply shy. Miss Piggy talks about her outfit for Pigs in Space and how it shows off her best feature! Statler and Waldorf come on at the end shouting "This show is worse than the Muppet show! Who is Russell Harty anyway? I never did like him!". During the character interviews, the cameras cut Henson and Oz out of the frame so that the home viewer cannot see them performing. Arnold Schwarzenegger is also a guest in part two of the show, along with Sheila Hocken
