At Home with the Muppets

This is an oddly, long, but intriguing bit of history.  It's a 13-minute segment from the CBS This Morning show in 1989, with Jim Henson doing an interview with Kathleen Sullivan back in the studio.  Henson is in his Muppet Workshop and gives a fairly in-depth tour of the place.  



It's quite enjoyable, but Henson takes it all very seriously, and so it's a bit dry in spots, but thoroughly informative with a rare inside look.  At a couple of points, though he livens things up with appearances by Rowlf (who was the first Muppet to get national fame, as a regular on the Jimmy Dean TV series), and then later, Kermit.



Though the time code on this says 14:30, it only runs the aforementioned 13, but even that is a seriously long segment for this sort of thing.
