(newsflash beeps)
- [Announcer] We take you now to Kermit the Frog
for a special report on the storm.
- Oh yeah?
Well, there's no business like snow business, huh?
That's an old show biz joke, you know.
Oh hi-ho, there.
This is Kermit the Frog.
And I'm out here in the snow, investigating
a report that someone has been standing
out here in the snow for a long time.
Yes sir, that's right, folks.
We had a call from somebody who told us that
if we came out here, we'd find some strange person,
standing out here in the snow for a long time.
And you're gonna see it first here, on Sesame Street News.
We'll just check around now, and see if we can-
Oh, pardon me.
Pardon me, sir!
- Yes?
- Kermit the Frog of Sesame Street News.
- Oh.
- We're investigating a report that someone
has been standing out here in the snow for a long time.
Are you, by any chance, that person?
- No, Kermit the Frog, I've only been out here a short time.
- Just a short time, I see.
- Yeah, thank you.
- Well, you're more than welcome, sir.
All right.
We'll just keep looking around here.
And pardon me, ma'am.
Excuse me, ma'am. - Yes, yes?
- Kermit the Frog of Sesame Street News.
- Yes, Mr. Frog?
- We're investigating a report that somebody's
been out here in the snow for a long time.
Is that, by any chance, you ma'am?
- No, it's not.
I've been here a short time.
Excuse me. - A short time.
Certainly.
Okay.
All right, let's see, we're looking--
- Yeah, well, I got you that time!
- Pardon me, little boy.
- Huh?
- Have you been out in the snow for a long time?
- No, no, just a short time.
I gotta go sledding now, though.
Bye!
Hey, wait for me, Fred!
- Excuse me, sir?
Kermit the Frog here.
- I gave at the office, frog.
- Well, yeah.
Listen, don't worry, folks.
We're going to stay right here on top of the story
about the person standing out here
in the snow for a long time.
Stay tuned for further bulletins.
Well folks, if you remember, at last report,
we'd had a phone call about someone
standing out here in the snow for a long time.
But so far, we haven't been able to track down
that out-standing-in-the-snow person.
We're exploring every avenue, however,
and we hope to bring you an update
on the story any minute now.
Wait a second!
Here comes someone who might be able to-
Excuse me, young fella!
Can I ask you a question?
- Yeah, but make it quick.
I only got a short time.
- Right.
Thank you very much.
You've been a big help.
- Huh?
Oh well.
- Let's see now.
Excuse me, ma'am?
Pardon me, ma'am?
- Yeah, yes?
- I'm Kermit the Frog of Sesame Street News,
and we've had a report about someone standing
out in the snow for a long time.
Are you, by any chance, that person?
- Are you kidding, frog?
Stand out here, in the snow for a long time?
Ridiculous.
It's cold out here.
Who'd want to do a thing like that?
Boy.
- Yeah.
Right.
Thank you, ma'am.
Well, let's see.
Sure there's someone else
coming along any minute.
Oh!
Little girl!
Excuse me, little girl.
- I'm sorry.
My mother's been waiting for me.
I don't have time.
- Uh-huh.
Well,
stay with us folks.
Things could break any minute now,
but right now, back to our regular program.
(Kermit shivers)
(Kermit moans)
(Kermit sneezes)
Well,
folks,
so far we have
nothing further to report on our snow story.
We haven't managed to find anyone
standing out here for a long time.
(Kermit sneezes)
But, however, we are going to
pursue every lead.
Excuse me!
Excuse me, sir?
Pardon me, sir?
- Yeah, yeah? (snickers)
- We had a call about someone standing out
here in the snow for a long time.
I wonder if you could help us find out
just what the story is.
- Yeah, I think I can help you. (snickers)
- You can?
Well folks, this could be the break we've been waiting for.
Okay, sir, if you'll just tell us who you are.
- Well, I'm the one who made the call!
- You're the person who called and told us
about the person standing out in the snow for a long time?
(Caller laughs)
- Yeah, I sure am!
- Then, you know who it is that's been
standing out in the snow for a long time?
- (laughs) For sure do.
- Who?
- You! (laughs hysterically)
I called, and the frog was waiting for a long,
he fell for it! (laughs loudly)
(Kermit sneezes)
- Folks this is Kermit the Frog
returning you to our,
returning to your- (sneezes)
returning to your regular programming.
I'm gonna get you, (grumbles)!
(upbeat whimsical music)
