When Kermit gets sick and leaves Fozzie in charge of the show, everything goes wrong. A Crazy Harry number ends with a hole blown in the theater wall. At the Dance and Veterinarian's Hospital go on simultaneously. Fozzie even forgets the guest star's name. Kermit shows up just in time to give Nancy "one decent introduction," but he sneezes in the middle of it.

Notes
- Jim Henson had to leave early during the taping of this episode, and ironically, the show's writers and producers had trouble figuring out how to do certain scenes in a way similar to how Fozzie was struggling to run the show. [1]
- The Giant Chicken seen in this episode was the same chicken costume that Harvey Korman was outfitted in when he guest starred in episode 110.
