The Bob Hope All Star Christmas Comedy Special is a network Christmas special hosted by Bob Hope, which aired on December 19, 1977 on NBC.

Kermit, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear and Gonzo are featured. In the sketch, Gonzo struggles with calling Hope "Bob", and Kermit sends him outside to play in traffic. Fozzie tells a bad joke, and makes a quick exit. Miss Piggy offers to quit the Muppets, and team up with Bob as a duo. He agrees, but then tells her that he expects her to be his maid. Newly loyal, she agrees to stay with the Muppets. All of the Muppets gather on stage, including Rowlf the Dog, Scooter and Robin the Frog, for one verse of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas." Jim Henson, Frank Oz, Jerry Nelson, Dave Goelz, and Richard Hunt are credited for the performance.

This skit was taped during the shooting of the Bob Hope episode of The Muppet Show. Other guest stars include Olivia Newton-John, Perry Como and Mark Hamill.
