Candice Bergen as Murphy Brown in a Sesame Street appearance.

Murphy Brown was a sitcom starring Candice Bergen as an investigative journalist and anchorwoman. The show aired on CBS from 1988 to 1998.

In the episode "It's Not Easy Being Brown" (a reference to Kermit the Frog's signature song, "Bein' Green"), Murphy hires a new publicist that gets her a guest spot on a Sesame Street-style show. "Kelbo" (performed by Wally Wingert) and "Murphy Brown Bear" (performed by Lisa Sturz) mock the short-tempered Murphy until she tries to attack the puppets on camera, thus ruining her attempt to change her image.

Bergen did actually appear on Sesame Street in character as Murphy Brown, and interviewed Oscar the Grouch. She also voiced her Muppet caricature, Murphy Brownbag.

In the first episode of Muppets Tonight, "Murphy Prawn" can be seen on the KMUP schedule.
