By the end of the show, the backstage is covered in nests, and Gonzo (the only one apparently immunized against the cluckitis) is thrilled. Kermit is humiliated, but Roger's very understanding; he explains that he had cluckitis once."

IT'S TIME TO WATCH THE MUPPETS! This week with special guest Brooke Shields. Distracted rants include but are not limited to Princeton University, Michelle Obama, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Humpty Dumpty, The Muppets' Wizard of Oz, Stephnie Weir, Timothée Chalamet, and much more!

"Brooke stars as Alice in the Muppet production of Alice in Wonderland. The onstage zaniness can't match the usual backstage chaos -- Fozzie thinks he's going to play the Tin Woodman, and Miss Piggy (scheduled to play the Queen of Hearts) is hoping to take over as Alice.

Bunsen's special effects make Brooke too tall to leave her dressing room -- and then shrink her so small that no one can find her. Piggy, still hoping for the lead, tries to "accidentally" step on Brooke. Finally, Gonzo as the Mad Hatter heads the Mad Tea Party, which ends with a rousing chorus of "We're Off to See the Wizard.""

The show ends with a musical battle at sea, with Gonzo and a crew of chickens fighting to save Kermit and the theater."

"Kermit makes the mistake of letting Gonzorun a dance marathon during the show. Carol's songs are interrupted, and she objects to the marathon -- especially when Gonzo fixes her up with Animal as her dance partner. Carol threatens to leave in the middle of the show, but Kermit persuades her to stay by promising that she can perform her famous Lonely Asparagus sketch. But Gonzo says the marathon won't be over until all the contestants collapse, so she tires the dancers out by singing "I Was Made for Dancin'". Burnett plays both herself and the dance's janitor (a character from her own namesake show)."
