10 Guests Who Need To Appear Next on ‘The Muppet Show’ Reboot
The curtain rose once again as The Muppet Show returned with a one-off reboot episode. Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the original 1976 series, fans of the iconic Jim Henson characters fell back in love with the puppet sketch comedy show. Directed by Alex Timbers, The Muppet Show used the same beloved format, with Sabrina Carpenter as the featured guest star, with appearances by Seth Rogen and Maya Rudolph.
Reviving the show’s tone with humor, heart, and humanity, The Muppet Show‘s singular episode served as a potential backdoor pilot. Met with welcome praise, the prospect of a full reboot series is on many fans’ minds. Should it come to fruition, we’ve all begun to dream up potential celebrity cameos that could come with more episodes. Using a formula similar to the types of individuals who appeared during the original run, our list features actors playing iconic roles, the music industry’s finest, and some of the funniest people on the planet. It’s time to play the music and light the lights and welcome these potential stars to The Muppet Show.
1
RuPaul
If there is anyone who can slay The Muppet Show, it’s RuPaul. The reason that drag is mainstream is because of the hard work Ru has done with RuPaul’s Drag Race. Coming in or out of drag, RuPaul would match the high camp that’s inherently attached to The Muppet Show. Of course, RuPaul would bring enough glitter and sequins to truly make the episode sparkle and shine.
Now, this wouldn’t be the first collaboration between Ru and The Muppets. He has had cameos on other Muppet shows, as well as alongside Lady Gaga for her Thanksgiving special, while Miss Piggy stopped by Drag Race. Another RuPaul appearance would continue the tradition. Ru could help teach The Muppets to read while Miss Piggy instructs them as to how to throw shade. Then, of course, one of The Muppets would have to get in drag, officially. The episode could feature a lip sync for your life and a runway extravaganza. The options are endless! What’s clear is that RuPaul would most certainly bring charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent!
2
Josh Gad
With The Muppets being a part of the Disney family, some Disney legends would inevitably swing by to hang out with the gang. The perfect Disney legend, who just officially became a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, would be Josh Gad. While his appearance might then raise the question whether The Muppets are canonically in the MCU, a Muppet x Frozen crossover seems natural. As the voice of Olaf, Gad has a natural Muppet quality that would fit seamlessly into this world. His appearance could tie into a winter-themed episode in which they all have a sing-along to “Do You Want To Build a Snowman?”
Like a child at heart, Gad would bring the joy we have that’s inherent in The Muppets. He could be a perfect fit to do a sketch with Dr. Bunson Honeydew and Beaker. With so many brilliant actors who have lent their voices to Disney animation, many stars could fill this spot. When it comes to Gad, he has the Disney spirit in his heart. He would be a joyful guest host, to say the least. Plus, there would only be one possible way to end the show: warm hugs!
3
Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo
Even though their time together with Wicked has concluded, that doesn’t mean our two best friends can’t “hold space” for a guest spot on The Muppet Show. Both beloved for their voices and acting prowess, Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo could defy gravity together again. If ever there was a moment to recognize how well pink goes with green, it’s at the home of the original home of where pink and green together began.
While they easily could appear as a solo act, The Muppet Show would serve as the perfect place for a reunion. They might even invite Jonathan Bailey to join them after he reunites with his Glinda on the West End. There’s no doubt that parodies alongside Miss Piggy and Kermit on “Popular” and “The Wizard and I,” respectively, would be on the docket. While it may be one short day at The Muppet Show, it’ll be one for the ages.
4
Ayo Edebiri
Some of the greatest guest hosts on The Muppet Show were the female comedians. From Madeline Kahn to Carol Burnett, their brilliant appearances mean the reboot would definitely call in a female comedian from this decade. Who better to ask than Ayo Edebiri! After her brilliant stint on Saturday Night Live, Edebiri knows how to do sketch comedy and do it well. With a whimsical quality, she would be a wonderful character actress who could match the zaniness around her.
Another major reason why you may see her on your screens is that she may be campaigning for a spot. As a diehard Muppets fan, having previously stated she’d love to steal Gonzo’s role in The Great Muppet Caper, it’s a match made in television heaven. Now, the big question: Would Gonzo be flattered or find an instant rival? Whichever direction it is, there’s already content built for Edibiri’s appearance. As a versatile performer, she might be the wildcard guest host we never knew we needed.
5
Olivia Colman
All hail the queen! The original run of The Muppet Show had many Hollywood greats swing by. From Rita Moreno to Raquel Welch, definitive actresses have brought some truly special episodes. To continue that tradition, Oscar and Emmy-winning actress Olivia Colman would be extraordinary. Though mainstream audiences are familiar with her dramatic works, including The Crown, she has many comedies on her resume. And in real life, she’s actually quite silly. Need proof? Check out any of her hilarious appearances on The Graham Norton Show.
A guest spot on The Muppet Show would allow Colman to flex her comedy chops alongside the cast in silly sketches that would give viewers a new perspective on her. Certainly, Miss Piggy will have something to say as to who the real queen is. Further, she could also showcase her softer side, as we saw on Heartstopper. There are certainly many fine actresses who could fill this spot, but Colman would be a bloody delight.
6
Bowen Yang
Comedians were mainstays during the original run, especially Saturday Night Live alumni and previous guest hosts. Like Gilda Radner, Steve Martin, and Candice Bergen before him, Bowen Yang would be an excellent option to follow in their footsteps. Having just seen Maya Rudolph in the one-off, an SNL star would have an ease into this world. Yang, who recently left his long-standing post, had always been tapped as the player who would play some of the most random creatures and objects, including Moo Deng and the Iceburg. Surely Yang would be willing to pop on any costume and lampoon anything.
Yang would serve as an excellent foil to Muppet stars like Fozzy Bear and Gonzo. His ability to match their energy would lead to some excellent sketches. Or, he could go full high-culture like Radner and do a Gilbert and Sullivan parody as she did with the “Carrots of Penzance.” Yang just seems like a logical option and someone who would adore the opportunity to join another iconic franchise.
7
Cole Escola
This may be the most random entry on this list, but assure you, there’s a method to the madness. Perhaps you may recognize Cole Escola from their brilliant Tony Award-winning performance as Mary Todd Lincoln in their original play, Oh, Mary! Fans of the show have begged the producers to cast Miss Piggy in the part. While that’s unlikely to come to fruition, Escola does have a connection to Miss Piggy: they are writing a Miss Piggy movie to be produced by Emma Stone and Jennifer Lawrence. Not only would this be a wonderful tie-in, but it would also be brilliantly chaotic.
If you’re unfamiliar with their work, luckily, they have made many talk show appearances where you can get a gauge of their energy. As someone who would go all out for the sake of comedy, Escola would likely be a part of any sketch while wearing any frock. Escola might even appear alongside Stone and Lawrence to pump up their future star! The Muppet Show was notorious for inviting wild card entertainers like Vincent Price, Peter Sellers, and Alice Cooper to play along. If there is one person who could benefit from this appearance, it’s Escola.
8
David Corenswet
To mirror one of the most memorable appearances from the original run, when Superman himself, Christopher Reeve, dropped in, the new revival could welcome our current Man of Steel, David Corenswet. With those beautiful baby blues, this genuine heartthrob might surely be pursued by Miss Piggy just like Reeve was. With a Juilliard background, he, too, could slip in and offer up some Shakespeare. The range of possible sketches and characters he could share screen time with could make for a fun appearance.
As one of Hollywood’s quickest rising stars, Corenswet could continue to expand his reach to a larger audience. Perhaps the only hiccup is if you expect Superman to appear, the House of Mouse owns Marvel, and Superman is DC. That said, throw on some sexy little glasses, and you get Clark Kent. This guest spot would be a modern take on nostalgia, especially for the individuals who grew up with the original run.
9
Chappell Roan
As we saw at the end with the company-wide Queen sing-along, there’s no doubt The Muppets wouldn’t want to capitalize on a finals number featuring the modern classic, “Pink Pony Club.” And who better to lead it than pop’s rising star, Chappell Roan. A singer who is the modern representation of camp in pop music, Roan’s appearance could easily mirror the iconic guest spot by Elton John during the original run. With innate flamboyance and a flair for the dramatics, Roan would bring the same energy John brought during “Bennie and the Jets.”
There are all sorts of options for what Roan and The Muppets could do. Surely we could see a newfound recurring bit in which Miss Piggy might be wearing the same attire as Roan. She has worn a pig prosthetic before, so it’s not far-fetched! Like many pop stars who have graced The Muppet Show stage, they represented the music of the moment. No one is more of the moment than the Midwest Princess!
10
Olivia Rodrigo
Just like Sabrina Carpenter, a modern pop star with an association with Disney is destined. While it could be Miley Cyrus, who could revive Hannah Montana, the more likely option would be former High School Musical: The Musical: The Series star Olivia Rodrigo. Drawing on her HSMTMTS days and her iconic songbook, Rodrigo could bring a fun edge to the show. We’ve seen SNL lampoon “Drivers License” via sing-along, so it’s feasible The Muppets might carry on the tradition.
The joy of the reboot episode was the show’s ability to bridge the generation gap. By maintaining the spirit of the original and welcoming modern stars, The Muppets can be a multigenerational watch. Rodrigo’s youthful vibe matches Carpenter, but brings a different aura that would make her visit different. Charismatic and theatrical, Rodrigo would be a wonderful guest host. Now, who will join her on “Vampire” dressed as a vampire? My money’s on Rizzo.

Recently, beloved actor James Van Der Beek passed away at the heartbreaking age of 48. He leaves behind a rich, creative legacy, full of projects that have moved and inspired millions of fans. Understandably, most of those fans have been reminiscing about his performance in Dawson’s Creek, the popular teen drama that transformed Van Der Beek into a household name.
However, I would argue that his best performance was in Don’t Trust the B— In Apartment 23, an overlooked sitcom featuring future Marvel icon Krysten Ritter. In this show, he played a hilarious, fictionalized version of himself, one that Ritter’s character playfully dubbed “the Beek from the Creek.” Sadly, this show is not currently available to stream outside of buying individual episodes, which is a shame because it is one of the funniest series ever made.
Never Afraid To Poke Fun At Himself
The premise of Don’t Trust the B— In Apartment 23 is that Krysten Ritter plays a party girl engaged in a constant scheme: she finds new roommates, gets rent money upfront, and then drives them away with her increasingly weird antics. Eventually, she lands a roommate (played by Gossip Girl supporting actor Dreama Walker) who refuses to leave. The two ladies soon settle into a life of wacky television shenanigans, which also involve James Van Der Beek, who plays a cynical, darkly comedic version of himself.
Even though Don’t Trust the B— In Apartment 23 was a lighthearted TV comedy, James Van Der Beek gives a performance that can only be described as fearless. He is never afraid to be the butt of the joke, and he’s always in on the show’s raucous sense of humor. In an age where countless celebs are afraid they’ll be mocked by fans, Van Der Beek cheerfully laughed at himself across two seasons of unhinged sitcom entertainment.
A big part of his self-parodying performance involved poking fun at Dawson’s Creek and his former status as a ‘90s teen icon. It helps that he had such a great comic partner in the form of Krysten Ritter, who imbues the show with her trademark brand of acidic, playfully sarcastic humor. Her character isn’t impressed by being BFFs with a major celeb, and Van Der Beek’s character isn’t all that impressed at being a major celeb; together, these two craft a shocking amount of comedy gold.
Shamelessly Stealing Every Scene
While he’s a regular in the cast of Don’t Trust the B— in Apartment 23, James Van Der Beek isn’t the focus of the show; that honor goes to Krysten Ritter and Dreama Walker, who were basically doing their own version of the successful Two Broke Girls formula. This makes it all the more notable that Van Der Beek manages to steal almost every scene he’s in. Sure, the writing for the show is great, but it can’t be overstated how the Dawson’s Creek legend can turn even the simplest glimpse or line delivery into something jaw-droppingly hilarious.
This was what startled fans most about Don’t Trust the B— in Apartment 23: that James Van Der Beek is an almost shockingly good comic actor. He has often been written as a kind of generic leading man, and his career suffered for it; personally, I found his character the worst in the cast of Dawson’s Creek, despite him being the titular main character. In this later, much more cynical sitcom, he is unleashed from the burden of being a leading man, and he quickly reveals himself to be the funniest member of the entire cast.
The Best Way To Process James Van Der Beek’s Death
Fans of James Van Der Beek have been returning to his earlier performance in Dawson’s Creek as a way to honor his memory, but this arguably isn’t the best way to grieve the actor’s death. Many viewers watched that teen drama when they were youngsters, so returning to the Creek is a surefire way to stir up your own traumatic memories even as you process the loss of a Hollywood icon. This is why I’m so sad that Don’t Trust the B— in Apartment 23 isn’t available on streaming: watching this show is the best way to both honor Van Der Beek and unpack your feelings regarding his untimely death.
That’s because this is a show where Van Der Beek himself has moved on from the show that made him famous and is willing to constantly poke fun at something he once took so seriously as an actor. There’s a lesson in here for his legion of fans that instead of dwelling on the loss of such a talented performer, we should find joy in how many great performances he had to offer. And by watching Don’t Trust the B— in Apartment 23, you can stop crying about Van Der Beek’s death and do what the actor would have wanted you to do instead: laugh like there is no tomorrow.
Nancy Guthrie
Investigators Use Bluetooth Technology to Detect Pacemaker Signal
Published
Authorities are using advanced Bluetooth detection technology as part of the search for Nancy Guthrie, who has been missing for two weeks.
A Pima County Sheriff’s Department helicopter has been flying in a low, methodical grid pattern over the Tucson area near Guthrie’s home in an effort to detect a signal from her pacemaker, according to Fox News. Investigators are using specialized equipment capable of identifying nearby Bluetooth-enabled devices.
Guthrie was last seen around 9:30 PM on January 31 and was reported missing February 1. According to reports, her pacemaker disconnected from its companion phone app shortly before 2 AM on February 1. Around the same time, her Nest home security camera also went offline.
Former FBI special agent Maureen O’Connell told NewsNation that pacemaker-related detection tools typically operate at a short range, meaning search crews would need to be in close proximity to pick up a signal.
The investigation remains ongoing.
Before every streaming service had its own globe-trotting puzzle thriller, there was The Da Vinci Code — the movie that turned symbology into blockbuster spectacle. And now, nearly two decades after it dominated theaters, Tom Hanks’ mystery juggernaut is heading to free streaming on Tubi next month.
If you’ve been craving something in the National Treasure lane — secret societies, ancient clues, historical conspiracies — this is your chaotic, slightly more serious option. Although, please be warned, it is not as good as it should have been. The film also stars Audrey Tautou as Sophie Neveu, Ian McKellen as Sir Leigh Teabing, Jean Reno as Captain Bezu Fache, Paul Bettany as Silas, and Alfred Molina as Bishop Aringarosa.
While National Treasure leaned into swashbuckling fun, The Da Vinci Code plays it straight — moody lighting, heavy themes, and a tone that insists this is Very Serious Business, and yet, that intensity is part of the appeal. It commits to its mystery. It treats every clue like a seismic revelation. It moves briskly, even when the exposition gets dense.
Was ‘The Da Vinci Code’ Successful?
Hanks pushed back against criticism in an interview with the Evening Standard, saying, “We always knew there would be a segment of society that would not want this movie to be shown. But the story we tell is loaded with all sorts of hooey and fun kind of scavenger-hunt-type nonsense. If you are going to take any sort of movie at face value, particularly a huge-budget motion picture like this, you’d be making a very big mistake.” Hanks reprised his role in two sequels — Angels & Demons, which made nearly $500 million globally, and Inferno, which tanked with just over $200 million worldwide. The franchise was rebooted for television with a show titled The Lost Symbol. Inferno in particular was spectacularly bad.
Collider’s review stated that Inferno doubled down on everything that made the previous Robert Langdon films so exhausting, delivering a messy, joyless thriller that felt creatively bankrupt from the jump:
“It’s almost like Dan Brown looked at Indiana Jones and thought, ‘Yeah, I like what he does, but I hate that he has a personality. Also, if he could mansplain everything to a female sidekick, that would be a plus.’”
The Da Vinci Code will begin streaming for free on Tubi from March 1.

Science fiction has been warning us about the dangers of seemingly helpful technological innovations for over a hundred years. Even before computers were found in every home and in our pockets, overreliance on technology has been a common theme, including in the legendary anthology series, The Twilight Zone.
“Nick of Time” was released on November 18, 1960, and while it’s about a man’s dependence on a cheap fortune-telling novelty toy, it still works. 66 years later, in the era of ChatGPT and AI language models that are all too willing to provide advice.
William Shatner’s Choice Paralysis
“Nick of Time” stars William Shatner as Don Carter and Patricia Breslin (future wife of Baltimore Ravens owner Art Modell) as Pat Carter, newlyweds stuck in a small town in the middle of Ohio, when they come across a cheap fortune-telling novelty machine in the booth of a roadside diner. Don plays with the machine by asking it if he’ll get a promotion when he gets the affirmative response, “It has been decided in your favor.” One call to New York later, Don realizes he got the promotion, and his fascination with the tabletop trinket quickly becomes an obsession.
Don continues asking questions to the devil-topped fortune-teller and receives inane generic responses, from “that makes a good deal of sense,” to “the answer to that is obvious,” and of course, “try again.” Paralyzed by indecision without the guidance from the fortune-teller, Don remains trapped in the booth, waiting for an answer to the question, “Where should we live?” Unlike most episodes of The Twilight Zone, Pat breaks her husband free from his obsession, and they leave town, but the ending shows another couple, trapped, unable to leave until the fortune-telling machine says they can.
The unsubtle message of “Nick of Time” is the importance of human connection over a machine. The Twilight Zone has stood the test of time because of the universal morals at the heart of its twisted stories. 50 years later, Her told a similar story of a man becoming infatuated with a machine, and Ex Machina added a new wrinkleby giving the machine a human form. The AI in both movies is far, far more advanced than a penny fortune-teller, but the end result, obsession, decision paralysis, a loss of human connection, it’s all the same.
The Twilight Zone Is A Timeless Classic For A Reason
William Shatner went on to star in another, better-remembered episode of The Twilight Zone, “Nightmare at 20,000 Feet,” and a little show you may have heard of called Star Trek. His overacting has been parodied for decades, but as both of his appearances in Rod Serling’s masterpiece show, when asked to play a man slowly losing his mind, there’s no one better.
The Twilight Zone is still one of the greatest shows of all time, and episodes like “Nick of Time” prove why no amount of reboots and revivals can match the simple effectiveness of the original. In 1960, no one imagined that we’d eventually have an app on our phones that acts exactly like the devil-head fortune-teller from the episode, but it doesn’t matter. The early horror sci-fi series could have been talking about television, computers, or telephones, and its point would still land: don’t let technology rule your life. Though today, a character would come right out and say, “go touch grass.”

Rebel was cheesing so hard, clearly hyped to be in the building, while Queen was living for their mother-and-son date. Some folks online were completely shook after seeing Rebel. To be fair, Latifah maintains a lowkey lifestyle and doesn’t really much about him or her partner, Eboni Nichols, on social media.
TL Goes WILD Over Queen & Rebel’s Mommy-Son Outing
Folks didn’t let up on being surprised to learn that Queen Latifah had a son. Some said they were today years while dropping reactions in The Shade Room’s comment section.

The Feb. 14 ceremony was attended by her parents, Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke, along with several of her costars.
Whew! Barack Obama is weighing in on the wild world of social media and public discourse, and it looks like President Donald Trump might’ve sparked another round of online chaos. Across social media, folks were reacting in full force after a controversial clip involving the Obama’s made its way across timelines. And now, the former POTUS is finally speaking out.

Obama Stays Unbothered Amid Trump Drama
In a recent interview on ‘No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen,’ former POTUS Barack Obama didn’t hold back when discussing social media controversy, indirectly addressing a viral video on former President Donald Trump’s Truth Social. He called out the loss of shame and decorum in public behavior, saying, “And what is true is that there doesn’t seem to be any shame about this among people who used to feel like you had to have some sort of decorum and a sense of propriety and respect for the office.” Additionally, Obama reflected on the contrast between the online chaos and the everyday kindness he still sees across the country.
He also shared these thoughts during the podcast conversation, noting that while the social media “clown show” chaos “gets attention” and serves as a distraction, it doesn’t reflect the majority of Americans. While traveling around the U.S., he still meets people who “still believe in decency, courtesy, and kindness,” Obama shared. Furthermore, he emphasized that even amid the online madness, him and Michelle remain unbothered and steadfast.
The Roomies Didn’t Come To Play On This One
As soon as the clip dropped, folks ran straight to TSR’s Instagram comment section, praising Obama for being a class act. Meanwhile, a few cheekily asked when is he going to say “it’s on sight” to Trump. And, of course, many just admitted they miss the days of him in office.
One Instagram user @frog_ismynickname said, “When President Obama speaks… we listen. 🎤🙌”
This Instagram user @theamyyedit shared, “I miss having an articulate, well mannered president 🥹”
And, Instagram user @_lavishlifechi added, “Very classy and well spoken …. my FOREVER president 😌”
Meanwhile, Instagram user @kissesfromkayy wrote, “Hearing his voice is comforting and reassuring 🥺🤎”
While Instagram user @spoken_highly commented, “Greatly Put Mr.President 🫡”
Finally, Instagram user @sirramoan said, “…a part of me wishes he’d be like ‘look, he knows when he sees me it’s on sight’“
The Video That Had Everyone Talking
As previously reported, the offensive clip in question crudely depicted Barack and Michelle Obama as apes and sparked immediate outrage across the political spectrum. Democrats, Republicans, and senior GOP members like Senator Tim Scott condemned it, with Scott calling it “the most racist thing I’ve seen out of this White House.” The White House initially dismissed the backlash as “fake outrage” before blaming a staffer and eventually deleting the post.

‘Selling Sunset’s Jason Oppenheim
Jessica & I Broke Up
Published
Looks like we won’t be getting a “Selling Sunset” baby any time soon … Jason Oppenheim and girlfriend Jessica Vargas have called it quits … TMZ has confirmed.
Sources with direct knowledge tell us Jason and Jessica broke up about 2 weeks ago, but are actually in Hawaii for a friend’s wedding and are on good terms.
They’re so good that Jason posted a portrait of the two of them together in an Instagram story. In the post, he wrote, “We’re no longer boyfriend and girlfriend … but still love each other and still best friends.”
Jess shared the same post, writing, “Love you J & may this type of friendship find us all.”
A witness tells us the two were at the Halekulani Hotel pool Saturday, where they appeared to be good friends but showed no PDA.
Heartbreaking news considering just a couple months ago, he was telling Alex Hall on the “Pretty Dirty” podcast that he was planning on marrying Jess.
Jason’s “Selling Sunset” costar, Alanna Gold, also seemed confident the 2 would walk down the aisle. When we caught up with Alanna in December, she told us, “I’ve seen a change … just his whole demeanor when he’s around her and with her. I think it’s really cute. I hope they get married. I think it’s really good for him, and I think they bring out the best in each other.”
Jason and Jessica were together for just over a year.
Manchester Orchestra
Timothy Very Dead at 42
Published
Manchester Orchestra is reeling after the sudden death of their longtime drummer Timothy Very.
The Atlanta-based indie rock band broke the heartbreaking news Saturday, telling fans they’re struggling to process the loss of the man they called the “foundation” of their universe. In their emotional statement, the group admitted they had been “dreading sharing this news” and are still in “absolute disbelief.”
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Very joined Manchester Orchestra back in 2011 and went on to become the longest serving drummer in the band’s history. Over more than a decade, his thunderous playing powered some of the band’s biggest records. Offstage, the band says he was pure heart.
The group described him as the “most beloved human being” they were lucky enough to know … someone whose humor, warmth and larger than life presence held everyone together through years of touring, recording and life on the road.
So far, no cause of death has been revealed.
Beyond his career, the band emphasized that Timothy’s proudest role was being with his family, saying the only thing he loved more than music was his loved ones.
Tim was 42.
RIP.

![Heathrow has said passenger numbers were 60% lower in November than before the coronavirus pandemic and there were “high cancellations” among business travellers concerned about being trapped overseas for Christmas as Omicron spreads. The UK’s largest airport said the government’s travel restrictions had dealt a fresh blow to travel confidence and predicted it was likely to take several years for passenger numbers to return to pre-pandemic levels. This week ministers said passengers arriving in the UK would have to take a pre-departure Covid test, as well as a post-flight test, because of fears about the spread of the new variant. “[The] high level of cancellations by business travellers concerned about being trapped overseas because of pre-departure testing shows the potential harm to the economy of travel restrictions,” the airport said in an update. Heathrow said the drop in traveller confidence owing to the new travel restrictions had negated the benefit of reopening the all-important corridor to North America for business and holiday travel last month. Eleven African countries have been added to the government’s red list, requiring travellers to quarantine before reuniting with families. “By allowing Brits to isolate at home, ministers can make sure they are reunited with their loved ones this Christmas,” said John Holland-Kaye, the chief executive of Heathrow. “It would send a strong signal that restrictions on travel will be removed as soon as safely possible to give passengers the confidence to book for 2022, opening up thousands of new jobs for local people at Heathrow. Let’s reunite families for Christmas.” Heathrow said that if the government could safely signal that restrictions would be lifted soon, then employers at Heathrow would have the confidence to hire thousands of staff in anticipation of a boost in business next summer. The airport is expecting a slow start to 2022, finishing next year with about 45 million passengers – just over half of pre-pandemic levels. This week Tui, Europe’s largest package holiday operator, said it expected bookings for next summer to bounce back to 2019 levels. However, Heathrow said on Friday not to expect the aviation industry to recover for several years. “We do not expect that international travel will recover to 2019 levels until at least all travel restrictions (including testing) are removed from all the markets that we serve, at both ends of the route, and there is no risk of new restrictions, such as quarantine, being imposed,” the airport said.](https://wordupnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/shutterstock_1100012546-scaled-400x240.jpg)
![Heathrow has said passenger numbers were 60% lower in November than before the coronavirus pandemic and there were “high cancellations” among business travellers concerned about being trapped overseas for Christmas as Omicron spreads. The UK’s largest airport said the government’s travel restrictions had dealt a fresh blow to travel confidence and predicted it was likely to take several years for passenger numbers to return to pre-pandemic levels. This week ministers said passengers arriving in the UK would have to take a pre-departure Covid test, as well as a post-flight test, because of fears about the spread of the new variant. “[The] high level of cancellations by business travellers concerned about being trapped overseas because of pre-departure testing shows the potential harm to the economy of travel restrictions,” the airport said in an update.
