Bob Newhart and Kermit
Bob Newhart (b. 1929) is a comedian and actor who has starred on such sitcoms as The Bob Newhart Show and Newhart.
In 1992, Newhart hosted Holiday Greetings from the Ed Sullivan Show, a Christmas special that featured guest appearances by Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, and other Muppets. Newhart tells Miss Piggy that he admires her karate chaps, and Piggy offers a demonstration, using Kermit as a target. Kermit ducks for the final exercise, however, and Piggy hits Newhart instead.
