Best Muppet

It's time to start the music! It's time to light the lights! It's time to get things started...for the Great Pop Culture Debate podcast to discuss the Best Muppet Ever! Jim Henson's cuddly puppets have delighted audiences of all ages for five decades, on film, TV, in video games, and even -- when it comes to pigs -- in space! There have been dozens of named Muppets who have been introduced since then, and we wanted to figure: which is the Best Muppet Ever? Muppets discussed: Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Swedish Chef, Animal, Dr. Bunsen Honeydew, Gonzo, Fozzie Bear, Rowlf, Sam the Eagle, Scooter, Beaker, Rizzo the Rat, and more.

Host Eric Rezsnyak and panelists Amma Marfo, Kate Racculia, and Matt DeTurck make a rainbow connection while debating the best cast members from The Muppets.
