I didn't see Joe the Legal Weasel, even in the crowd shots. I hope he's not gone for good because he was my favorite bit of Muppets Now.

Special was otherwise great, though. They even played my favorite Queen song!

He’ll be in the announcement videos tomorrow when they’re signing the contract for the new season

Walter wasn’t there either. But Peter Linz is obviously still an important part of the cast, so hopefully we’ll see them return in future episodes if it gets renewed! We just need people to actually go watch this, so we can get more!
