VEVO News: On the Set with OK Go and The Muppets Page #6

---

And coming up next on CDE, The Muppet Telethon.

Kermit and friends host a celebrity-studded gala,

- with special guest, Jack Black.

- Oh! He's pretty good.

- We're going to phase two. - Yes, Mr. Richman.

So do you think we're working for the bad guy?

Hurry! The show starts in ten minutes!

Where did you learn to drive?

Hang on, everyone!

Come on, guys. OK, listen up, everybody!

This is it! Five minutes to curtain!

- Kermit? - Get ready for the opening number.

- Yes? - I need to talk to you about my act.

Listen, Walter, I know you're gonna be fine.

In fact, I'm sure you'll be great.

Scooter, who's up first?

- Come on, come on, come on! - No...

Fly in the arches!

- OK, first we have the opening

theme. - Of course. Yeah.

- You come out and introduce Fozzie. - Right.

Then we have... TV executive at six o'clock!

- What? - The show is a disaster, Frog!

- Veronica... - Where's the audience?

I knew you guys weren't popular anymore.

I should have trusted that chart. There's no one here!

- What about Hobo Joe? - Who?

Why does everybody forget about Hobo Joe?

- Just a second. Scooter! - Yeah, chief?

- Did you hand out all those flyers?

- Of course. Every last one!

Don't worry. We'll think of something!

You better.

Yoo-hoo! You've got audience.

It's me! What am I, invisible?

Jack Black.

Fifteen seconds to curtain, Mr. Black.

- Hi! - Ah! Where am I?

Why am I so fancy? What are you

doing? You're ruining my look!

- We'll see you out there! Good

luck! - Stop cleaning me!

- You sure got nice teeth, Jack Black. - Yeah.

We're here!

- Start the show! - Ready for

some kind of entertainment!

All right, good luck, everyone, and cue Scooter.

OK, we go live in three, two...

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome

your host, Kermit the Frog.

It's The Muppet Telethon,

with our very special guest, Mr. Jack Black! Yay!

I always dreamed we'd be back here.

Dreams? Those were nightmares!

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome

to The Muppet Telethon!

We have Muppets standing by to take your calls.

- Yes, we are. - Hi. Hello.

Could I have a large pizza with ham and...?

Yes, and, boy, do we have a wonderful show for you,

with our special guest, Mr. Jack Black!

I'm being held captive by these weirdos!

Now you know how we've felt for the past 40 years!

Somebody, anybody, please call

the police. This is real rope!

- Man, this 3-D is incredible! - This is real!

Oh, and by the way, folks, we have plenty

of room here in the audience,

so if you'd like to come down and see the show live...

There's no audience in the theater.

Look, it's totally empty.

Poor Walter.

Maybe we should go back.

No way, Mary. I've made my choice already.

I just sang a whole song about it.

I wanna stay here with you.

So thank you.

Ladies and gentlemen, prepare yourselves

for the Great Gonzo's most amazing feat ever.

- Head bowling. - What? No!

I have not signed off on this!

Drumroll, please.

And a one and a two and a three!

Uh-oh. Uh... My fingers got stuck.

All part of the act, folks. Stay tuned.

Please, make this end! Please!

This is great. Call'em.

Hello?

You wanna give us some money?! Uhhh...

- Say yes! - Yes! We will take that money!

Hey, guys, we got us some money!

Oh, yeah, tickets. Here we are. Tickets. Thank you.

Five dollars to show you your seat.

It's up there somewhere.

- Help! - OK, thank you, Gonzo.

Thank you very much. Ladies and gentlemen,

we will see what happens with

head bowling a little later in the show.

Up next is our furry funny man, Mr. Fozzie Bear! Yay!

Thank you, thank you, and thank you.

Boy, did I go to a bad seafood place last night.

The catch of the day was salmonella. Wocka wocka!

- OK. - Ah! That joke's like 50 years old!

So how'bout those shopping centers?

You seen one, you seen a mall! Take it.

Make it stop!

- Wocka wocka wocka wocka! - Make it stop! No!

- We're not a team! I'm not with

him! - What is happening?

People are actually watching this?

Deadly! Bring the car!

What am I gonna do?

What am I gonna do?

Walter? Sixty seconds till you're on, Walter.

You ready?

No. Yes, yes, yes...

Whoopi Goldberg?

Selena Gomez? And... hi there.

Yeah, look, somebody said there might

be a career opportunity here,

- something about saving a theater.

- Yes, yes, of course.

I don't really know who you guys are.

My agent just told me to show up.

- That's great. - Are you one of the

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?

Yes, I am, and let me show you how you can help.

And don't worry. It's just your

one shot to go on live TV

before millions of people to prove

you have what it takes

to become one of the Muppets. Good luck.

Up next, folks, I am proud to present a brand-new act

to the show. Introducing Walter.

That's not good.

It appears that Walter has stepped out, so it's...

Well, it's back to the days of yore

down at the old barbershop.

Oh, no! It's a barbershop quartet! Get me out of here!

Wait a minute. What are you doing?

Is that Nirvana? Stop it! No!

You're ruining one of the greatest songs of all time!

Ow!

Careful around the ears!

Ah! That was hot!

Hey! What's going on here? Why is my body so big?

What'd you do to my voice? I sound like a chipmunk!

Wait a second. Did you guys shrink my head?

Ladies and gentlemen, Jack Black!

Nice work, everybody. Chickens, you're up next!

It's going rather nicely. We might just make this.

And now I am pleased and proud to present

those princesses of poultry, Camilla and friends!

Let's hear it for Camilla and her farmyard friends!

No, I... I don't know why I'm not hosting this.

So remember, folks, keep on calling

and you'll help us reach our goal

of ten million dollars by midnight. And if...

Oh, dear.

Ladies and gentlemen, don't be alarmed.

We will get this sorted out just

as soon as we can. Scooter!

Well, that's that. Nice try, Muppets!

Kermit, how are we going to

raise the rest of the money

with no electricity?

All right, calm down, everybody.

- Is everybody OK? - Yeah.

Well, we can't do the show without power.

- Anybody got any bright ideas? - Not now, Fozzie.

Ten-gauge gator grip.

I love it when you talk shop.

Oh!

Mee mee mee mee

What? How'd they get the power back?

We're gonna have to get up on that roof

and shut'em down for good! Bolt cutters!

Bolt cutters.

Deadly! You come with me.

That's it.

Hm.

To the end of the Muppets!

Deadly! What are you doing?

Enough!

Just because I have a terrifying name

and an evil English accent,

does not preclude the fact that, in my heart,

I am a Muppet, not a Moopet!

Looks like it's I who will have the last laugh!

- What does that mean? - It's an idiom, you idiot,

because you cannot laugh! Ha ha!

Oopsie.

Deadly.

Now that's a maniacal laugh for you!

Hey, Gary, Mary, how'd you guys get here so fast?

We travelled by map. We thought it'd be quicker.

Hey, I'm sorry I bailed. I just...

I realized you don't let the most important person

in your world slip away.

- Hey, Scooter? - Yeah?
