Conan the Barbarian
From Muppet Wiki
Conan the Barbarian is a fictional barbarian hero created by pulp writer Robert E. Howard. The musclebound warrior had had a rich cultural life extending into Marvel Comics, various games and TV series, and two films starring Arnold Schwarzenegger: Conan the Barbarian (1982) and Conan the Destroyer (1984).
Universal Studios, which produced the movies, added a Conan stage show to Universal Studios Hollywood (1983-1992). In Muppet Magazine issue 21 from 1988, Miss Piggy tours the park and encounters the stage Conan.
