The Muppets Episode 1.05 Walk the Swine

Reese Witherspoon is scheduled to be a guest on Up Late with Miss Piggy. Even though she's one of Hollywood's biggest stars, this particular celebrity booking has Kermit a little on edge. It seems that Miss Piggy is still holding a grudge over Reese beating her out for the lead in Walk the Line. This explains why the slighted swine had a coffee truck camp out where the Oscar winner was supposed to park.

Come show time, Reese does her best to steer the conversation away from her Oscar win to her work for Habitat for Humanity. She has plans to go to a construction site. Suddenly, Piggy has the exact same plans. She wants to show up Reese in front of the press. She makes this known to Kermit after eventually working her way out of her spanks.

Miss Piggy shows up at the construction site in her ultra-suede stiletto work boots and a pink bedazzled hammer. She's caught off guard by the absence of press folk there. Reese is fed up. She promises that Miss Piggy is going down as the competition to see who will be the best builder heats up. The press ultimately does arrive in time to see Miss Piggy and Reese knock over part of the build during a heated exchange.

Kermit catches Piggy in tears over the dark turn her revenge plan took. She believes the only way to turn things around is to have Reese Witherspoon back on the show. The two celebrities are actually civil to each other. Reese apologizes for her actions. Piggy says that she's sorry as well. She does by performing an epic musical number on her show. Game over. Piggy wins!
