From Muppet Wiki

King Kong is a giant ape who became a very big movie star with his 1933 film, followed by a handful of sequels and remakes. He has been spoofed in numerous Muppet productions, his iconic climb up the Empire State Building being a frequent target of parody.

In the Jim Henson Hour special "Miss Piggy's Hollywood", Miss Piggy and Gonzo encounter an audio-animatronic Kong on the Universal Studios tour. He sings a line of the musical number "That's Entertainment."

The same theme park incarnation of Kong was featured in Muppet Magazine issue 21, in a feature where Miss Piggy tours Universal Studios.

Other Appearances

• Jim Henson's Creature Shop created two different animatronic versions of King Kong in 1993, one for a UK Weetabix ad and another for an Energizer Batteries spot, co-starring the Energizer Bunny.
