Pure Goldie is a TV special that aired in 1971 featuring Goldie Hawn, with guests Ruth Buzzi, Johnny Carson, and the Muppets.

When Hawn kisses Kermit, rather than Kermit turning into a Prince, she turns into a Muppet. Buzzi and Carson also turn into Muppets (represented by Droop and Snivelly) when they each try to remedy Hawn with their own kiss. They finish the sketch the only way they know how, by singing "Mahna Mahna".

Snivelly and Beautiful Day Monster also made appearances in the special.

A clip from the special is featured in the 1994 PBS documentary The World of Jim Henson. The program is available for viewing in its entirety at the Paley Center for Media.
