Muppets! Christmas!
Dec. 5th, 2008 11:54 amFrom this metafilter thread:
MUPPET NEWS FLASH: It's great to see this FPP, because Paul Williams just wrote four new songs for the upcoming brand new Muppets Christmas TV movie that's going to be airing in just two weeks -- Wednesday, December 17th at 8 PM on NBC! It's called "A Muppets Christmas: Letters to Santa", starring the Muppets, of course -- plus Nathan Lane, Uma Thurman, Jane Krakowski, Jesse L. Martin, Tony Sirico, Steve Schirripa, and Whoopi Goldberg and a few other humans you might recognize.
Here's a video preview of one of the songs from the special on NBC.com (USA only, sorry) -- twenty-some-odd singing and dancing Muppets (and Jesse L. Martin and Mayor Mike Bloomberg) at a New York City post office! The other three songs are wonderful, too -- Gonzo and Fozzie have one that is simply amazing.
If you have a Facebook account, here's the invite for the premiere! Please "attend" and then use the link in the top righthand corner to invite your friends to attend too. It's open to everyone.
Also, Paul Williams himself shows up in the special in a small (hah) role as one of Santa's elves. Which is funny because he's, y'know, really short.
