Reading Rainbow
From Muppet Wiki
Kermit introduces Burton to "Pignoccio".
Burton, the puppet and Clash.
Reading Rainbow is a multi-award-winning children's show which has aired on PBS since 1983. Hosted by actor LeVar Burton, the show's goal is to encourage reading among children.
- Kermit the Frog appeared in Episode 3.5, "Perfect the Pig" (7/5/85), in which Burton ran into him at a library (in the "pig" section, mysteriously...).
- Kevin Clash appeared in Episode 5.4, "Brush" (8/18/88), in which he discusses puppetry with the host, and Burton's puppet likeness. After Burton gets to try out the puppet, neither he nor Clash are manipulating the character, when it seemingly comes to life on its own. Martin P. Robinson is credited on the episode as "Special Thanks," likely meaning he was puppeteering the Burton puppet at the end of the segment.
