Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
From Muppet Wiki
On March 6, 2005, the Muppets appeared on ABC's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, helping Ty Pennington and the team rebuild the home of the Harris family, who have the first ever set of surviving African-American sextuplets. The Harris' home was damaged by Hurricane Ivan, and the Muppets were there to pitch in. The Muppets also appeared the next night on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition - How'd They Do That? with more clips of their time at the work site. Appearances by: Kermit the Frog, Fozzie Bear, Animal, and Miss Piggy.
For the April 9, 2006 episode, Kermit appeared as guest host in Pennington's absence. As a special two-hour episode, the team built a home for the Craft family, and presented them with a new Hybrid SUV. For this appearance, Steve Whitmire was assisted by Carmen Osbahr and wranglers Andrea Detwiler, Michelle Hickey and Debbie McClellan credited as "The Green Team."
Elmo made a brief appearance on the November 25, 2007 episode (the 100th, to be exact) to help design the kids bedroom.
