"Miss Piggy's Hollywood" / "First Show" (May 14, 1989)

Better known by the segment title, Miss Piggy's Hollywood, this mostly forgotten bit of TV history aired on NBC in 1989 and more or less works out to be the thing Drew and Glen dreamed into existence: The Comeback but with Miss Piggy. In this half-hour, you see Miss Piggy repeatedly try to assert herself in Hollywood, only to be knocked down every time. Gee, is there a reason gay men are drawn to this character who's seeking acceptance from a society that refuses to give it to her?
