  • The Talk Spot sketch consisted of Kermit the Frog (and later other characters) partaking in casual, albeit scripted, conversation with the guest star. Kermit was usually seated on a wall in front of a plain, colored background and was occasionally joined by other Muppets. The sketch was featured most prominently in the first season of The Muppet Show. Whereas all but three episodes from the first season had talk spots, only five episodes from later seasons would feature the sketch. The last time a Talk Spot was seen was in the third season. Other episodes had similar conversations in the Guest Star's Dressing Room, even after the Talk Spot wall was abandoned. The show's writers wanted Peter Sellers to do a talk spot for episode 219, but said he didn't know how to play himself. In Brian Henson's introduction for that episode, he refers to this segment as "The Wall," although the equivalent scene with Sellers (who says "There is no me" and instead engages in wacky antics) took place in the dressing room. However, Kermit refers to it as the talk spot in episodes 105 and 124.
