The Muppet character cast for "The Land of Gorch" on SNL
The Big Picture On one side, The Muppets, the beloved, iconic creations of Jim Henson that have entertained children and adults for years. On the other, Saturday Night Live, the long-running, iconic, late-night sketch comedy giant geared towards adults. They're two franchises that couldn't be more different. Think Fozzie Bear and Mike Myers, or Animal and John Belushi. Actually, that's a pretty bad example, but you get the general idea.
Release Date October 11, 1975 Main Genre Comedy Seasons 49 Studio NBC Producer Lorne Michaels The Muppets Are Integral to the Creation of 'Saturday Night Live' It's 1975, and Hollywood manager Bernie Brillstein, unbeknownst to him, held the future of two legendary franchises in his hands.
Problems With The Muppets on 'Saturday Night Live' Appeared Quickly Close For Henson, it was an opportunity to shed the image of The Muppets as just Sesame Street by doing something as far removed from the Street as possible. He knew he wanted monsters and scribbled out descriptions of five characters for a segment he initially called "Muppet Night Creatures" .
'The Muppets' and 'Saturday Night Lives' Part Ways, Enter Into Legend Because of that inability to understand and deliver what Henson was trying to achieve, writing for the Muppet sketch became a loathed task. "Whoever drew the short straw that week had to write the Muppet sketch," writer Alan Zweibel recalls, adding that he, Tom Davis, and Al Franken, as rookie writers, somehow seemed to land the job week after week.
