On this day in 1997, Prince guest starred on Muppets Tonight. He was the first guest star on Season Two of Muppets Tonight, then going under the name "The Artist Formerly Known As Prince." This guest appearance allowed Prince to show his effortless knack for comedy and perform songs alongside Kermit the Frog, Rizzo the Rat, and several other muppets. Speaking about the first read through of the script with Prince, head writer of Muppets Tonight Kirk Thatcher revealed, “He and his people seemed to get the jokes and enjoyed the fun we were having with him and he thankfully had very few notes. He just smiled and giggled quietly at the script and seemed very open to it all.” 💜

You have to go with what you know is right.” - Prince
