The Muppet Movie, being released two months later, was heavily promoted. Though not credited, Kermit mentions Muppeteers Frank Oz, Jerry Nelson, Richard Hunt, Dave Goelz and Steve Whitmire as he signs off. A section of Kermit's monologue was used in The Muppets: A Celebration of 30 Years, billed by Fozzie Bear as "the ultimate achievement" in a montage of memorable Muppet guest appearances. Assorted clips from the episode have been used in several compilation screenings by the Jim Henson Legacy. The full episode can be viewed at the Paley Center for Media.
