Kermit & Miss Piggy Go Splitsville

Miss Piggy has issued the same statement on Facebook. More from USA Today:

The gimmick for this new series is that it's a reality show taking us "behind the scenes" at Miss Piggy's talk show, Up Late with Miss Piggy. "We've been given unfettered access," says producer Bill Prady, best known for The Big Bang Theory. "We tried to fetter it," adds Kermit, "but it didn't work out." And yes, of course, Kermit was on the panel at the Television Critics Association press tour. And he was asked about his relationship with Miss Piggy. "Piggy and I have gone our separate ways romantically," Kermit says. "I guess it's just coming out in the press now. It can be tough to work with your ex. It can be tough to be the executive producer on your ex's talk show, particularly when your ex is a pig." Can they get back together? "People change. So do frogs and pigs." For now, though, Kermit has moved on. His latest girlfriend is a pig who works for ABC. "I do have an attraction to pigs."
