600: Going Backstage With The Muppet Show

from Extra Hot Great: This Week In TV · host Extra Hot Great: This Week In TV

The Muppet Show returns with a one-off episode starring Sabrina Carpenter; Muppetry expert Adam Grosswirth returns to discuss it, including whether the new version nailed the original's vibe, what makes a good Muppet guest (and whether Sabrina's got the right stuff), and how we can't believe Dolly Parton never guested on the show (...so far). Later, we went Around The Dial with The Pete Davidson Show, Ugliest House In America, and Conspiracy Theories, and Adam hoped nobody would object to his first-season L.A. Law Canon brief. Impractical Jokers won, Grant Show lost, and we dropped Muppets into primetime shows for a mash-up Game Time. It's time to get things started on an all-new Extra Hot Great!GUESTS👤 Adam GrosswirthTOPICSLead Topic: 🐸 The Muppet Show (2026)Around The Dial: 🗑️ The Pete Davidson ShowAround The Dial: 🏚️ The Ugliest House In AmericaAround The Dial: 🕵 Conspiracy TheoriesThe Canon: 🐂 L.A.
