Matt explained in an interview that he got around inside the costume in a motorized wheelchair. Kermit’s puppeteer, Matt Vogel, was inside the Snail costume. The Dancers in Snail's first and only performance are similar to the Masked Singer Kukka (Flower). Kermit the Frog is the second frog on Masked singer US, with the first being Frog, revealed to be Bow-Wow. In Snail's case, he just needed the top hat to be removed. The Snail is the second contestant that doesn't need the costume's head to be revealed, the first being Baby Alien. The Snail and one of the Russian Dolls are the only costumes to be armless. In another interview after his unmasking, Kermit revealed that his girlfriend, Miss Piggy, was also supposed to appear on the show, but she refused to wear one of the masks. In an interview after being unmasked, Kermit revealed that the next song he would have performed was "I'm a Believer" by The Monkees, which would later be the group performance for The Spicy 6 - The Competition Heats Up!.

"I've acted, directed, produced, recorded albums" refers to Kermit's best human friend and original performer, Jim Henson.įirst Impressions Robin's First Impression The hint that the Snail had graced the Oscars stage was a clue to the multiple appearances Kermit made at the Oscars, also known as the Academy Awards. The treasure chest in Snail's package is a nod to three things: Kermit being a national treasure, Kermit's song "The Rainbow Connection", and the Muppet film "Muppet Treasure Island". The tiny UFO floating above Snail represents the 1999 film, Muppets In Space. The Men in Black holding musical instruments is a callback to the Electric Mayhem band. The Eagle cameo references Sam the Eagle, a patriotic Muppet who often butts heads with Kermit. The Swedish meatballs in Snail’s package are a clue to the Muppets’ very own Swedish Chef. The giant teddy bear in Snail’s package is a clue to Kermit the Frog’s best friend and co-star, the lovable comedian Fozzie Bear. And now I can’t wait to get out there and snail it! Get it?” Here, I want to show those harsh critics who’ve followed me throughout my career that I can shine on my own.
And well, you might say I’m best known for appreciating the talent of those around me. I’ve rubbed elbows with everyone from Robert De Niro to Lady Gaga to Michelle Obama. Snail: "Thank you!
