Jaye P. Morgan, the 1950s pop singer and risqué 'Gong Show' panelist, has died at age 94. Born in Colorado, she found early fame with hits like 'That's All I Want From You' before becoming a television staple. She is best remembered for her irreverent judging on Chuck Barris's 1970s game show, where she famously exposed her breasts during a routine, leading to her firing.

Muppet Labs Sign Reappears in Sabrina Carpenter’s Muppet Show Revival

A Muppet Labs sign from MuppetVision 3D was reused in The Muppet Show revival special with Sabrina Carpenter, which aired on ABC and Disney+. The prop, 'Muppet Lab Techs Only,' appears in the Muppet Labs skit and was once outside the MuppetVision 3D theater. Muppets Courtyard closed last year and is being redeveloped into a Monsters, Inc.-themed land. The special celebrates The Muppet Show’s 50th anniversary and has earned strong Rotten Tomatoes scores, fueling talk of a broader revival.

Miss Piggy shines with two numbers, the backstage chaos adds fun, and while some jokes miss the mark and a few cameos feel off, the nostalgia and energy largely land, hinting at the potential for more to come.
