Michael Parkinson (1935-2023) was host of the British talk show Parkinson. During his 1979 interview with Miss Piggy, he professed an undying love for her, even going so far as to show off his bare legs.
He briefly took over as the host of the BBC's Desert Island Discs, from 1985 (following the death of creator/host Roy Plomley) until 1988.
He reunited with Miss Piggy on the 2007 special Happy Birthday BAFTA, celebrating 60 years of the BAFTA Awards.
