In episode 2 of The Muppets, Miss Piggy's histrionics get out of control, and Kermit hopes that improving her love life will cheer her up.  He decides to set her up with Josh Groban, which has the desired effect of mellowing out Miss Piggy. Unfortunately, a mellow star is bad for the show, and when audiences start falling asleep, Kermit has to come up with a way to break up the new couple. He does this by making Miss Piggy choose between the two things that mean the most to her: her love life and her career. And as it turns out, Miss Piggy will gladly give the silver-throated singer her heart, but cannot bring herself to give him a producer credit on the show.

Meanwhile, Fozzie Bear is thrilled to be invited to his new friend Jay Leno's house; in fact, he is so excited that he pilfers a candy dish as a souvenir.  Wracked with guilt and fearing reprisals, Fozzie tries to return the memento but ends up smashing it, and destroying his budding friendship.

Finally, Bobo the Bear is desperately trying to sell his daughter's Girl Scout cookies to the crew, but faces stiff competition from Newsman.
