Back in February, the Muppets made a huge comeback with their critically acclaimed new special The Muppet Show, hosted by Sabrina Carpenter. Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the original variety series, The Muppet Show garnered an audience of nearly 8 million views in just eight days. At the time, it was suggested that, if the special succeeded, it may lead to a relaunch of The Muppet Show, and while Muppet fans are still awaiting that announcement, the special just received six Emmy nominations, including ones for Outstanding Variety Special (Pre-Recorded) and Outstanding Writing for a Variety Special, as well as technical nominations for Outstanding Sound Mixing, Outstanding Picture Editing, and Outstanding Production Design.
