How Kermit and Miss Piggy's Breakup Will Affect The Muppets' New Show

The Summer of breakups continues: at the TCA panel, Kermit and Piggy confirmed their breakup and released a mutual statement on Twitter. But they will be working together harmoniously on Piggy's show, they claimed, with Kermit saying he is taking a behind-the-scenes backseat by being an executive producer. Piggy addressed their erstwhile relationship, saying, "I have no problem working with my ex. Dating moi is like flying close to the sun. It was inevitable that Kermit would drop down to the ground while I stayed in the heavens." (Kermit's reply: "I thought you were going to say 'get burned.'") No doubt we will see this play out on the show, and for the record, Kermit is currently dating Denise, the show's head of marketing (she's pictured far left here).
