It must feel amazing to be the musical guest on SNL when your hit song has the words “Saturday night” in it

Reposted by That Week In SNL
the John Denver/Muppets Christmas special is one of the weirder mixes of melancholy and earnest you'll ever see, with occasional bits of "oh right you're watching the Muppets" to right the ship before it gets sad again. And you can listen to me talk about it/the sinister forces bankrolling it here!
PATREON EXCLUSIVE: It's time for John Denver & The Muppets: A Christmas Together from Dec. 5, 1979; a bizarrely moody and depressing special with an abundance of baffling music choices, set-pieces and Du Pont propaganda!
