Brett Goldstein has Greatest Interview Ever with The Muppets

IT’S FINALLY HAPPENED. “Ted Lasso“ writer and star Brett Goldstein has conducted perhaps the greatest interview of all time. If you were unaware, the Roy Kent actor loves The Muppets. I mean who doesn’t? But his love includes the AMAZING “The Muppet Christmas Carol,” which is the best adaptation of the Charles Dickens classic put to film. Goldstein has even performed a one-man medley of songs from the movie. Needless to say, he loves it.

Entertainment Weekly managed to make a dream come true for Goldstein- he was able to interview the original cast of “The Muppet Christmas Carol” for it’s 30th (gasp) anniversary!

Here’s a nice snippet from the interview to give you an idea of what you’re in for:

GONZO: My favorite part? Being Charles Dickens, a great author whose last name rhymes with chickens. Let’s face it. I was perfect for the part.

KERMIT: You sure were.

GOLDSTEIN: Was that how they sold you on it, Gonzo? They just said, “Do this, it rhymes with chickens,” and you were like, “I’m in”?

GONZO: Yeah, plus I got to go to London.

GOLDSTEIN: What was that like?

GONZO: Oh, it’s great. I’ve been there a lot before, but I love it. I got lots of friends there. I go out in the country and visit farms. Piggy and I go out and visit farms together.

MISS PIGGY: What?
