Notes
The Kermit the Forg wordplay was reprised in Episode 314 of The Muppet Show, with guest star Harry Belafonte. The episode included a running gag involving Fozzie Bear writing the script for the show as it went along, with several spelling errors as the result of Fozzie's handwriting. Kermit's opening monologue began as follows: "Lagies and Jecklefins... my name is Kermit The Forg -- The Forg!?!"'
