TV Alert: Muppets on The Chew November 23

You know, I would consider it taking my life in my hands cooking some sort of pork-based dish in front of Miss Piggy.

And I SWEAR, I thought The Chew was supposed to be a joke! Seriously, Drtooth made it seem like it was all a joke, I'm still shocked this thng is for real!

I thought it was nice...the muppets were very much a part of the show.

I heard of the Chew from a rant DWmcKim posted on the death of ABC Daytime's soaps. I really wanna hear what he'd have to say about it in this thread. I felt it was both stupid as heck as a premise, but almost funny that they'd resort to such a dumb concept, basically picking a show that rhymed with another show.

Oh wow. I loved it. I just watched it it was so hilarious. I loved the back and forth and banter between everyone. And Kermit was feisty, he's got great character when he's like that. The "Thanksgiving Memory" by the Swedish Chef was hilarious. Oh! and the Mario Whatnot, that was a great touch.
My mom mentioned that she wondered if the people who were right next to the bar could see the puppeteers on the Swedish Chef and were laughing at their antics as well.

That was by far one of my favorite Muppet guest appearances.

I don't know, but I do know that some bad camera dynamics resulted in Steve's head getting caught in the frame for quite some time.

Really? I didn't see that at all. Where'd that happen?

At the end of their first segment on the show, with that Greek guy with the pig tattoos on his chest that Piggy was so impressed with (yeah, I don't follow these food networks and shows, so I don't know any of these guys).

Huh, if I ever see that again (we deleted it from the DVR)I 'll keep an eye out for it. I did noticed in that segment that everything Kermit Handed Michael Simon (he's the greek guy) was below the counter.

Well, some of it was shown above the counter, because I remember wondering if like a wrangler or someone tagged along with Steve,Eric, and whoever did the great job with the Swedish Chef for that sort of thing.

Who is doing Swedish Chef these days, BTW? I know I could just look at Muppet Wiki, but I'm too lazy, and my computer hates Muppet Wiki.

Um, according to IMDB it's Bill Baretta. Would MuppetWiki say who does his right hand?

That makes sense, as Bill seems to do all of Jim's other characters now like Dr. Teeth and Rowlf... I should've guessed, lol.

And you know, I always thought Swedish Chef was one of those rare cases where the second puppeteer did both hands.

That makes sense, sorry, I'm a fan but I'm still learning all the little bits.

Bill does Dr. Teeth and Rowlf? Cool I was wondering who that was these days.

I'm so sad that I missed this today! Hopefully someone will post it online!

Can't comment yet since i didn't even bother to set my vcr for it given that lack of time between my returning home and having to get ready for work and knowing that most appearances these days make their way online pretty quickly so aside from the last two minutes that my vcr picked up from recording OLTL, i still have yet to see it.

On other forums, i always see people referring to the one lady as "Red Fraggle"

If you don't feel like watching the whole thing, Toughpigs has clips. Love the Chef bit.
