| Picture | Impersonator | Production | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
 | | | A robot built to look and act like Kermit, to take the place of Kermit the Frog. The robot version had a key on his back, and openly showed affection for Miss Piggy. |
 | | | During the closing curtain call, Peter confesses to Kermit that he's always wanted to be a frog, and imitates Kermit saying good night to the audience. |
 | | | In his opening act, Rich impersonates Kermit, Fozzie, Piggy and Statler. Kermit is astonished by Rich's impression: "I was in the dressing room and I heard you on stage, and for a second I thought I had grown a new me." |
 | | | The Phoob is the tastiest creature on the planet Koozebane, but Phoobs survive by "evolving" very quickly to blend in with other creatures. Before Kermit's astonished eyes, the Phoob transforms into a Kermit duplicate. "It's called the survival of the trenchcoated," the Phoob explains. |
 | | | Lenny auditions for the job of an emcee, imitating the show's standing host just a little too closely for Kermit's comfort. |
 | | | When the theater is taken over by pigs, this green pig with bulgy eyes and a spikey collar impersonates Kermit while the real Kermit is held prisoner. |
 | | | In a quiet moment between guest and host, Danny confesses that he's begun to talk like Kermit, who acknowledges that he approves of his impression. |
 | | | In a tribute to Kermit's birthday, the cast sings "Be a Frog". |
 | | | A cow sings a line of "Be a Frog". |
 | | | A horse also chimes in on "Be a Frog". |
 | | | Piggy rounds out the finale of "Be a Frog" and appears backstage in her Kermit getup. |
 | | | Kermit is temporarily on crutches, so Miss Piggy assists with his introduction by waving her arms and yelling, "Yaaaaaay!" |
 | | | When Kermit is looking for a guest star he asks Mark what he can do. Mark, doing a Kermit impression, says he can do impressions. Kermit, oblivious to the fact he was being mimicked, asks who he does. Mark goes on to impersonate Fozzie Bear with a similar response. |
 | | | After Kermit lets the rats in as members of The Muppet Show cast, Joan Baez warns that they might try to take over. Indeed, they carry Kermit offstage and Rizzo steps into Kermit's role to say good night. |
 | | | Mac Davis passes for a close enough Kermit look-alike, with his green attire and flippers, to attract Miss Piggy as the two sing "Baby Don't Get Hooked on Me." Piggy comments that if he'd just paint himself green, he'd be her kind of guy. |
 | | | Dr. Nobel Price creates a mechanical automaton fashioned after Kermit. |
 | | | Plácido Domingo tries out his Kermit the Frog impression to cheer up a depressed Miss Piggy. |
