Trivia

Orson Welles plays a studio executive named Lew Lord who draws up a standard rich-and-famous contract for The Muppets, a reference to real-life producer Sir Lew Grade. When Jim Henson was trying to find a producer to make The Muppet Show (1976) happen, no American network understood, nor was interested in the concept, Grade recognized Henson's vision and made the show possible.

Goofs

When Fozzie stops the car the first time to speak to Big Bird the car is further up; when the camera moves to Big Bird, he is seen standing directly next to the car.
