Enjoy this outline for The Jim Henson Hour.

Cold Open
Leon pulls down a lever on a slot machine at Muppet Central, and gets a jackpot. However, instead of getting money, Leon gets bombs.

Jim Henson Intro
Jim Henson introduces the show. At Muppet Central, Kermit tells Jim that Little Richard is the gues tstar, and that the show will have a "Las Vegas" theme.

Muppet Central
Leon is happy that Muppet Central has all these slot machines in the studio, even though Leon only got bombs. Little Richard talks to them via monitor, and is ready to perform the opening number.

Opening Number: Take it Like a Man
Little Richard performs to a vegas audience, includign Statler and Waldorf. Statler wants to leave, but Waldorf tells him to "take it like a man!"

Muppet Central
Digit talks to the slot machines, but Kermit tells him that they aren't alive. Digit asks Kermit if he's sure.

Merlin the Magician, M.D.
Merlin's patient is a guy with money through his head.

Muppet Central
The Rats sing "We're in the Money". Waldo come sin and turns himself into a dollar.

Piano Battle
Little Richard and Rowlf have a piano battle. Little Richard wins, but his piano blows up.

Muppet Central
Digit continues talking to his slot machine: "Nobody thinks you're alive..." Kermit, Vicki, and Clifford try to talk some sens einto Digit, but the slot machine comes to life.

(fade to commercial)

Muppet Central
Digit and the slot machine start telling jokes, and decide that they should become a comedy duo. But then the slot machine breaks down, and Lindbergh comes to fix it.

Gonzo's Vegas Act
On the vegas stage, Gonzo tries to tame some lions (including the white lion), but the lions would rather eat each other.

Muppet Central
Bean complains about how "uncute" that last sketch was. Meanwhile, the slot machien gets fixed, and Digit and the slot machine come on-stage to perform their act.

Comedy Act
Digit and the slot machine tell jokes, which are really just mathematical questions. Statler and Waldorf heckle them (and acknowledge that they are worse than "that bear!"), and the slot mahcine starts fighting with Digit over which one should have gotten top billing.

Muppet Central
Kermit doesn't like how violent the show has gotten. Little Richard appear son amonitor and suggests they do a great, rockin' closing number.

Closing Number: Tutti Frutti
Little Richard plays on the stage, backed by Solid Foam (minus Digit). A Muppet daisey appears when Richard sings the line "got a gal named Daisey". Digit and the slot machine continue fighting, while Sweetums, Timmy, and Doglion dance to the song, The Swedish Chef makes fruit, and Statler and Waldorf fall asleep.

The Rats - Steve Whitmire (as Rizzo), Rob Mills, Gordon Robertson, and Kevin Clash (and they all sing together)
The Lions - the lions mostly don't talk, so I don't know if it matters. I can see one getting dialogue, performed by Rob Mills. Perhaps there can be some roaring by Kevin Clash, Jim Henson, and Dan Redican.
Doglion - He doesn't speak, so I don't think it should matter.
Timmy Monster - ditto.
