Miss Piggy
Encyclopedia
Miss Piggy is a Muppet
character who was primarily played by Frank Oz
on The Muppet Show
. In 2001, Eric Jacobson
began performing the role, although Oz did not officially retire until 2002.
She was voiced by Laurie O'Brien
in Jim Henson's Muppet Babies and Hal Rayle
in Jim Henson's Little Muppet Monsters.
In 1996 TV Guide
ranked her number 23 on its 50 Greatest TV Stars of All Time list.
TV series, but gradually developed
into one of the central characters of the show. She is a pig
who is convinced she is destined for stardom, and nothing will stand in her way. She presents a public face which is the essence of feminine charm, but can instantly fly into a violent rage whenever she thinks she has been insulted or thwarted. Kermit the Frog
is often the target of her anger. When she isn't sending him flying through the air, she is often smothering him in (usually unwanted) kisses.
The first known appearance of Miss Piggy was on the Herb Alpert
TV special Herb Alpert and the TJB, broadcast on October 13, 1974, on ABC. Miss Piggy's voice was noticeably more demure and soft, singing with Herb, "I Can't Give You Anything but Love".
The first draft of the puppet was a blonde, beady-eyed pig who appeared briefly in the 1975 pilot special The Muppet Show: Sex and Violence, in a sketch called "Return to Beneath the Planet of the Pigs." She was unnamed in that show, but by the time The Muppet Show began in 1976, she was recognizably Miss Piggy – sporting large blue eyes, wearing a flowing white gown, and pouncing on Kermit, the love of her life.
Miss Piggy soon developed into a major character, as the Muppet creators recognized that a lovelorn pig could be more than a one-note running gag. Frank Oz has said that while Fozzie Bear
is a two-dimensional character, and Animal
has no dimensions, Miss Piggy is one of the few Muppets to be fully realized in three dimensions. She spawned a huge fad during the late 1970s and early 1980s and eclipsed Kermit and the other Muppets in popularity at that time, selling far more merchandise and writing a book that, unlike any of Kermit's books, wound up on top of the New York Times Bestseller List.
Miss Piggy's personality and voice was seen and heard in other female characters performed by Frank Oz before the character's debut. For instance, a Sesame Street
Muppet skit from 1971 featured Snow White performed by Frank Oz and acting (as well as sounding) like Miss Piggy. Another sound-alike came from a contestant in a Guy Smiley
sketch called "The Mystery Mix-Up Game".
In The Muppet Show
episode 106, Piggy is referred to by the full name "Piggy Lee", and in episode 116, Piggy tells guest star Avery Schreiber
that Piggy is short for "Pigathius", which is "from the Greek, meaning 'river of passion'". However, there is no evidence to support that this is part of her name. It is more likely that this is a fictitious name Miss Piggy invents as part of her plan to make Kermit jealous. In another instance, Piggy explains that her first name is actually the more feminine-sounding version of Pigathius, "Pigathia".
In an interview with the New York Times in 1979, Frank Oz outlined Piggy's biography: "She grew up in a small town in Iowa
; her father died when she was young, and her mother wasn't that nice to her. She had to enter beauty contests to survive, as many single women do. She has a lot of vulnerability which she has to hide, because of her need to be a superstar."
Miss Piggy has a pet poodle, Foo-Foo
.
, she has just won a beauty contest when she first meets Kermit and joins the Muppets.
In The Great Muppet Caper
Piggy proves she has a talent for tap dancing, seemingly without knowing it. She and Kermit also kiss (on the lips, yet slightly covered) while Miss Piggy is a prisoner in jail; Miss Piggy ends up wearing Kermit's fake mustache, while Kermit has X-marks on his upper lip.
Eventually in the films, Kermit started returning her affections and (unwittingly) marries her in The Muppets Take Manhattan
, though subsequent events suggest that it was only their characters in the movie that married, and that their relationship is really the same as ever.
In 1987, Miss Piggy was a guest star on Dolly Parton
's musical variety show, Dolly
, singing and performing with Parton, while at the same time secretly attempting to steal the show from her host, mostly by sabotaging Parton's musical segments and attempting to trick producers into giving her more solo spots. Parton, annoyed at being undermined by Miss Piggy, told another of her guests, Juice Newton
, that they might be "having ham sandwiches after the show".
In The Muppet Christmas Carol
, she appears as Mrs. Cratchit, to Kermit's Bob Cratchit
.
In Muppet Treasure Island
, the part of crazed Ben Gunn was adapted to fit Miss Piggy, and "Benjamina" Gunn was revealed to be Captain Smollett (played by Kermit)'s former lover. The two share a tender moment dueting on "Love Led Us Here".
Her part is significant but supporting in Muppets From Space
, as the plucky news reporter eager to scoop the news on her friend Gonzo's bizarre alien enounters.
In the TV movie It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie
, a take on the classic It's a Wonderful Life
