Added by ScooterBrowsing through an old book of magic spells, guest star Tony Randall accidentally turns Miss Piggy into stone. He considers bringing her to a stonemason for help. Fozzie, Gonzo and Floyd crack stone jokes as Kermit and Tony try to find a spell to change her back. Of course, the show must go on, and the Piggy statue takes the stage for "Pigs in Space". At the end of the show, the tables are turned when Tony accidentally does the spell on Kermit.

Notes
Edit
Added by Toughpigs- Tony tries out a bunch of magic spells in his attempts to change Piggy back, including: "Ynot-Lladnar", "Zleog-evad-oznog" , "Noslen-Yrrej", "Tnuh-Drahcir", "Evets-Erimtihw" and "Rezal-evad-gib". Reading the spells backwards, those are references to Tony Randall, Gonzo/Dave Goelz, Jerry Nelson, Richard Hunt, Steve Whitmire, and Big Dave Lazer. "Rezal-evad-gib" was also used as the name of an Egyptian crocodile god in episode 419.
