Kermit, Big Bird and Miss Piggy had already been immortalized individually on Hollywood Blvd, but it was about time the rest of gang received the honor as well.
Lisa Henson, CEO of the Jim Henson Company and daughter of the famous creator, and numerous Muppets were all there at the “Wocka Wocka” ceremony in front of the El Capitan Theatre.
“We are all thrilled to be here today so that the Hollywood Walk of Fame people can honor all of the Muppets,” Kermit said –interrupted of course by Miss Piggy:
“Wait a second, I thought they were honoring moi!”
