Jim Henson's first appearance on network television. He preformed "I've Grown Accustomed To Your Face" with Kermit in a blonde wig and a red sweater on (before Kermit was a frog) and Yorick. While he already had his own show at the time, "Sam and Friends" (1955), it was a local program shown only in the Washington DC area. Kermit and Yorick were both characters on "Sam and Friends". This was his first time on national television.
