MJ: Hi guys, thanks so much for being here! It’s been a while since you were all together, with Covid and all. How have you been spending the pandemic?


Kermit: Well hiya, thanks so much for having us! I’ve just been playing a lot of songs on my banjo, mostly songs about rainbows in fact.


Miss Piggy: Oh Kermie, you’re such a good banjo player.


MJ: What about everyone else? Has anyone found a good post-pandemic travel destination yet?


Beaker: Mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi, mi-mi, mi mi, mi-miiii!


MJ: I couldn’t agree more.


Swedish Chef: A-boom-da-shoopen, I have-a beenda visiting de U.S.A! Bork, bork, bork!


MJ: Oh wow, I guess travel has opened up there now!


Sam Eagle: That is absolutely correct. And there is in fact no better time than to visit the great U.S. of A.!


Fozzie Bear: Could you be quiet about the U.S. for one second? Anyway, I’ve been having a grand old time just getting back to hanging out with the gang. Isn’t that right guys?


Animal: AAAAAAAAH!!!!!


MJ: How is everyone feeling about recent political changes?


Miss Piggy: Ooh well, I’ve always thought that Kermie here would make a great Prime Minister! And then I could be the glamorous, beautiful, brilliant Prime Ministress!


Kermit: Ah shucks Piggy, that’s too nice. I’d do my best, but I think someone smarter, like Dr. Honeydew here would do splendidly.


Dr. Bunsen Honeydew: I seem to have misplaced my glasses, but maybe if I could find them…


**Note: at this point in the interview there was a sudden loud bang, a flash of smoke, and Beaker briefly disappeared. This was not explained or acknowledged by any of the interviewees**


MJ: How has everyone been feeling about the economy? It’s been fairly confusing.


Gonzo: Well, I’ve actually been working on a performance art piece that tackles the economy, climate change, and gender –


Statler (suddenly): If that covered any more issues I’d have to climate CHANGE the channel!


Waldorf: If I was the economy I’d be a mess too, having to listen to you drone on about this performance!


Statler and Waldorf: OH HOHOHOHO!


MJ: Well, thank you everyone for their opinions. Any parting words?


Kermit: Thank you so much for having us!


Miss Piggy: Where should I submit my headshot for the article heading? And will you need candids?


Beaker: Mi mi mi, mi-mi-mi mi miii!!
