Muppet Mentions
On The Dame Edna Experience, Rudolf Nureyev was a guest during the first season and had this exchange with the hostess:
- Dame Edna: Tell me your favorite partner. Who's your favorite partner, Rudolf
- Rudolf: Really, Miss Piggy.
- Dame Edna: Miss Piggy? Well I've never really much seen the point of the Muppets. Is that silly of me? Perhaps it is. Call me old-fashioned! But I did love you on that show.
