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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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 starOlivia 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.

Chicago Med is causing concern after putting a beloved character’s future at risk — but did they officially get killed off?
During the Wednesday, April 1, episode of the hit NBC series, Dr. Charles (Oliver Platt) has a difficult day when he tries to help someone who calls into the suicide hotline. The man reveals he’s holding a gun before disconnecting. With the case sent over to emergency services, Dr. Charles can’t follow up.
He then has a fight with his daughter, is accused of a patient of letting his emotional issues affect his work, got an official complaint raised again him and considering another job after an argument with Goodwin.
Dr. Charles ultimately has blurry vision and hallucinates his childhood. The final scene shows him on the ground while gasping for while, which left his health scare and future on the show unclear. Fans noted that the trailer for next week’s episode hinted at a stroke but it wasn’t confirmed if Dr. Charles died.
If there’s one thing Dick Wolf isn’t afraid of, it’s killing off a beloved character. A fact that fans of the One Chicago universe know all too well. The franchise kicked off in 2012 with Chicago Fire. Chicago P.D. was added in 2014 and Chicago Med debuted in 2015. The cast of each show has […]
One Chicago fans have gotten used to seeing their favorite characters come and go from Chicago Fire, Chicago Med and Chicago P.D. over the years. After there were some questions about the franchise’s revolving door of cast members, NBC’s president of program planning Jeff Bader explained why he wasn’t concerned.

“Cast comes in, cast goes out,” Bader told TVLine in an interview published in July 2024. “It’s interesting. Because every year there are cast changes, and every year someone asks the same question about what’s going on within the One Chicago universe. But [those shows] just keep going on.”

Bader pointed out that each of the Chicago shows have continued to find success, adding, “We’re thrilled with how the Chicagos do on Wednesday. We have no plans on changing anything on that night.”
A March episode of the hit NBC series showed Pascal having his position revoked after he previously disobeyed a federal agent’s order to stand down while collecting evidence at a house fire. Pascal was arrested, but despite the federal charges against him being dropped, his position was still in jeopardy.
Pascal ultimately confirmed to Firehouse 51 that he was told to vacate the position effective immediately. Amid the big professional change, Pascal considered retiring from firefighting but then shared that a former colleague in Phoenix offered to connect him with a firehouse in Arizona. It remained unclear what choice Pascal would make about his future.

“He’s been on the ropes,” Chicago Fire showrunner Andrea Newman told NBC Insider. “[The arrest] puts him in a situation, it’s kind of a journey for him from the beginning, where he really wasn’t connected to 51 as closely as the chiefs obviously we’ve seen in the past, like Boden.”
Newman continued: “So he makes the ultimate sacrifice for his team, for all the teams really in this episode, and it sends him in a totally different and new direction at the end here. And he’s gonna have to figure out if he’s going to fight and claw to get back to 51, or if he’s now going to be on a new path altogether.”
Tomorrow, we’re going to wrap up the week with the MGM classic, The Wizard of Oz, so be sure to come back for that.

Mandel said it’s “up to you to discern” whether or not his apology video was genuine, after he snapped at Ripa and Consuelos on “Live With Kelly and Mark.”
Howie Mandel has admitted that he has mixed feelings about apologizing to Kelly Ripa after their awkward interview on Live with Kelly and Mark.
“If somebody is offended [or] if somebody feels that I did wrong, then I apologize,” Mandel said on the Tuesday, March 31, episode of the “Hot Mics with Billy Bush” podcast. “I don’t believe in apologizing but, as I said in my post, which I kinda regret making the post, I don’t think you should apologize for a joke.”
The drama started on March 23 while Mandel was being interviewed by Ripa, 55, and her husband, Mark Consuelos, on Live. Ripa pointed out that Mandel recently celebrated his 70th birthday, before joking that his age “doesn’t make any sense.”
When Consuelos interjected that Mandel looked “great,” the comedian shot back, “I [do] look great. That doesn’t mean anything to me.”

The America’s Got Talent judge complained that he doesn’t like people commenting on his age because it always comes as “a caveat.”
“Because you tell someone you’re 70 and they go, ‘You look great,” he added.
Ripa tried to clarify that she wasn’t trying to say Mandel looked “great for 70,” before he interrupted again to declare, “It’s like saying you’re smart for a stupid person. ‘Oh, you look smart! You seem smart!’ I don’t look good.”
Mandel added later in the conversation, “Well, actually, before we go out, there’s, like, a mirror back there. … Honestly, now, I’ll be serious for a minute: I’m gorgeous. I am. I am.”

“You’re a thing of beauty,” Ripa quipped.

The awkward interview clip quickly went viral, leading to Mandel making a public apology for the awkward moment a few days later.
“I have been debating for 48 hours whether I should make this post or not, and I don’t know if I’m doing the right thing,” he said via Instagram on Saturday, March 28. “Philosophically, I don’t believe that somebody who’s a comedian needs to apologize for a joke. It is a joke, it is meant as a joke, and it’s not meant to offend.”

Mandel pointed out, “You can not like it and, in all my years in the business, I haven’t ever publicly apologized for [a joke].”
Howie Mandel’s campaign with Skechers was a match made in heaven — but he took an untraditional route to get there. “I went to a Skechers store and I went to buy what I love and what I wear and what I find easy to do,” Mandel, 68, explained during an exclusive interview with Us […]

Longtime Live With Kelly and Mark executive producer Michael Gelmanpoked fun at the controversy by replying to Mandel’s Instagram post, writing, “During these divided times, one thing we can all agree upon is that you do look great … for your age.”
The comic has made nearly 50 appearances on Live With Kelly and Mark and its previous iterations, dating back to 1995. He often guest hosted Live with Ripa following the departure of her original cohost, the late Regis Philbin, in November 2011. (Michael Strahan and Ryan Seacrest later landed the cohosting job alongside Ripa before Consuelos joined full time in 2023.)
The era of the once mighty slasher film has fallen on hard times. Grief-fueled horror films are all the rage, with only a few bastions of the subgenre remaining. How quickly viewers forget the seeds of the genre that celebrated blood and guts. The only slasher franchise that truly remains is Scream, the iconic series of films from the late horror director Wes Craven.
Premiering in 1996, the first Scream film was a fresh take on a trend that seemed to have lost its luster. The film starred Neve Campbell as Sidney Prescott, a new final girl for the modern era. In the town of Woodsboro, a killer in a Ghostface mask terrorizes high school students in an entertaining and meta take on the genre. Scream deconstructed these horror tropes and laid out the rules for surviving a horror film. The franchise was so successful that it outlived Craven. Now, after the seventh entry of the Scream series, it has found life again on Tubi.

Scream has endured for so long because it was unlike any other horror franchise at the time. In the ‘90s, slashers like Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees had lost their charm. It was time for a new take on the subject, and there was no one better to address this than Wes Craven. With the help of screenwriter Kevin Williamson, who wrote zippy lines and witticisms, Scream became a smash success.

01
You’re dropped into a dangerous situation with no warning. What do you need most from a partner? The first few seconds tell you everything about who belongs beside you.

02
You have to get somewhere dangerous, fast. How do you travel? How you get there is half the mission.

03
You’re pinned down and outnumbered. What does your ideal partner do? This is when you find out what someone is really made of.

04
The mission is paused. You have one evening to decompress. What does your partner suggest? Who someone is when the pressure drops is who they actually are.

05
How do you prefer your partner to communicate mid-mission? Good communication is the difference between partners and a liability.

06
Your enemy is powerful, well-resourced, and has the upper hand. How should your partner approach them? The approach to the enemy defines the partnership.

Things go badly wrong and you’re captured. What do you trust your partner to do? Who someone is when you need them most is the only thing that matters.

Your Partner Has Been Assigned Your Perfect Partner Is…
Your answers have pointed to one action hero above all others. This is the person built to have your back — for better or considerably, spectacularly worse.
Advertisement
Rambo
Your partner doesn’t talk much, doesn’t need to, and will have assessed every threat in your immediate environment before you’ve finished your first sentence. John Rambo is not a man of plans or politics — he is a force of nature shaped by survival, loyalty, and a capacity for endurance that goes beyond anything training can produce. He will not leave you behind. He has never left anyone behind who deserved to come home. What you get with Rambo is the most capable, most quietly ferocious partner imaginable — one who has been through things that would have broken anyone else, and who chose to keep going anyway. You’ll never need to ask if he has your back. You’ll just know.

James Bond
Your partner will arrive perfectly dressed, perfectly briefed, and with a cover story so convincing it’ll take you a moment to remember what’s actually true. James Bond is the most professionally dangerous person in any room he enters — and the most disarmingly charming, which is the point. He operates in a world of layers, where nothing is what it appears and every advantage is used without apology. You’ll never be bored. You’ll occasionally be furious. But when it matters — when the mission is genuinely on the line and the margin for error has collapsed to nothing — Bond is exactly the partner you want. He has survived things that have no business being survivable. He does it with style. That is not nothing.
Indiana Jones
Advertisement
Your partner will know the history, the language, the cultural context, and exactly why the thing everyone else is ignoring is actually the most important thing in the room. Indiana Jones is brilliant, reckless, and occasionally impossible — but he is also one of the most resourceful, most genuinely knowledgeable partners you could find yourself beside. He approaches every situation with a scholar’s eye and a brawler’s instinct, which is an unusual combination and a remarkably effective one. He hates snakes and gets personally attached to objects of historical significance, both of which will slow you down at least once. It doesn’t matter. What Indy brings is irreplaceable — and the adventures you’ll have together will be the kind people write books about. Assuming you survive them.
John McClane
Your partner was not supposed to be here. He does not have the right equipment, the right information, or anything approaching the right odds. He has a sarcastic remark and an absolute refusal to accept that the situation is as bad as it looks. John McClane is the greatest accidental hero in the history of action cinema — a man whose superpower is stubbornness, whose contingency plan is improvisation, and whose capacity to absorb punishment and keep moving would be alarming if it weren’t so useful. He will complain the entire time. He will make it significantly more chaotic than it needed to be. And he will absolutely, unconditionally, without question come through when it counts. Yippee-ki-yay.
Advertisement
Ethan Hunt
Your partner has already run seventeen scenarios by the time you’ve finished reading the briefing, and the plan he’s settled on involves at least two things that should be physically impossible. Ethan Hunt operates at the absolute edge of human capability — technically, physically, and intellectually — and he brings the same relentless precision to protecting his partners that he brings to dismantling organisations that shouldn’t exist. He is not easy to know and he will never fully tell you everything. But he will carry the weight of the mission so completely, so absolutely, that your job is simply to trust him — and the remarkable thing is that trusting him always turns out to be the right call. The mission will be impossible. He will complete it anyway.

The first Scream film threw out the hallmarks of the past. Instead of one killer, there were two, and their motives were incidental. While Billy Loomis (Skeet Ulrich) blamed his murder spree on his mother leaving after Maureen Prescott’s affair with his father, it was really an excuse. Co-killer Stu Macher (Matthew Lillard) cited peer pressure as his reason for the crimes. This was a tongue-in-cheek way to acknowledge that killers didn’t need a motive to be truly heinous.

Scream set up a theme that reoccurred in the following two films of the trilogy, offering red herrings and horror cameos to drive the point home that this was not the typical franchise. The meta take on the genre continued to take on a life of its own. Just like Ghostface, Scream continues to return and only rarely disappoints.
Scream 4 was a surprise, premiering a decade after the previous film. Craven proved he had not lost his touch as the film was ahead of its time. Featuring a new cast of teenagers, the fourth film in the franchise notes the dangers of influencer culture in an extremely underrated entry. Now, 30 years after the first film, Scream remains a nostalgic pleasure for fans. Michael Myers can be a one-note killer, but Scream continues to prove it is the best of the best because it always reinvents itself.
There are, of course, no comparisons to the originals, but there is always room to deconstruct the horror genre in a new meta take. Viewers can relive the brutal kills and classic one-liners by catching the franchise on its new home, Tubi.

Rebel Wilson is not afraid to keep it real with herself about her weight-loss journey.
The “Bridesmaids” actress has always been open about her weight and the steps she has taken to pursue a healthier lifestyle. Now, she’s sharing even more candid reflections as she navigates her body transformation.
While continuing to focus on her wellness, Wilson is also dealing with an ongoing legal battle tied to her film “The Deb.”

Rebel Wilson Gets Candid About Never Getting A Bikini Body
Instagram Stories | Rebel Wilson
The “Senior Year” actress did not sugarcoat where she’s at recently with her fitness, admitting she may never look a certain way.
Taking to Instagram Stories, Wilson shared a photo of herself in a sports bra and shorts, confidently showing her midsection while embracing her reality in the caption.
“I don’t think I’ll ever have a bikini body – that’s just not me,” Wilson wrote. “But my body has carried me through this life, and I am so grateful for it!”
The soon-to-be mom of two followed up her candid admission with a glimpse into her wellness routine. “I’m trying to get in my daily steps, do a Pilates class once or twice a week, some strength training when I can – eat as healthy as I can,” she explained.
Wilson also chimed in on her use of medication to support slimming down, writing, “But let’s face it, I love sweets – so I need those GLPs [sic] from time to time to give a little help.”

The ‘Pitch Perfect’ Star Turned To GLP-1 For Weight Loss
MEGA
Wilson’s latest update comes about six months after she revealed she was considering GLP-1 medications as part of her weight management plan.
As The Blast reported at that time, she had partnered with Noom as its Chief Wellness Ambassador, describing the medication as a complementary tool alongside proper nutrition and exercise.
Wilson had revealed back then that she was struggling to stay in shape due to her busy schedule, from motherhood to her career. However, getting on board with the Noom program helped her still keep her fitness in check.
How Rebel Wilson’s ‘Year of Health’ Reshaped Her Career
MEGA
Throughout her transformation, Wilson has been an open book. In 2020, embarked on a strict routine, famously dubbed her “year of health,” shedding nearly 80 pounds in the process.
According to the Australian actress, the change was not just physical; it also shifted how she was perceived in the industry, opening doors to a wider range of roles.
“That weirdly made me more versatile as an actress, even though I had the same skills,” the 46-year-old explained per The Blast.

She added, “I think people see you differently [after weight loss] and can imagine you more easily in different roles. So I think that probably had the biggest effect.”
Wilson’s ‘The Deb’ Film Lawsuit Took a New Messy Turn
MEGA
Putting her fitness journey aside, the “Jojo Rabbit” actress is currently in the middle of a legal showdown involving her directorial debut.
The dispute began in 2024 after Wilson accused members of the production team of embezzlement and other misconduct. In response, the producers hit back with a lawsuit, alleging her claims were false.
The case has now taken a new twist. Weeks ago, an audio surfaced as part of the evidence, reportedly suggesting that Wilson may have been involved in orchestrating a smear campaign against producer Amanda Ghost.
According to The Blast, the recording features crisis management professional Jed Wallace discussing ways to spread false claims against Ghost, including that she was getting hookers for Sir Len Blavatnik.

Wallace also mentioned Wilson’s attorney, Bryan Freedman, in his plans against Ghost.

Following the release of the recording, Wilson spoke out, making it clear she is fully prepared to say her truth. As The Blast reported, the comedian revealed that she was waiting until she testified. However, the increasing allegations against her made her speak up.
She disclosed that there were “powerful people” who wanted her silenced after reporting what she saw as “dodgy behavior” from the producers on set.
