Kermit embarks on world tour for 50th birthday
Kermit the Frog began a globe-hopping tour to celebrate his 50th showbiz birthday yesterday in this small west Texas town that shares the beloved amphibian’s name.
The town of about 5,700, a ranching and oil area about 375 miles west of Dallas, rolled out the green carpet for the singing, dancing Muppet and former “Sesame Street” star, giving him the key to the city, dubbing him grand marshal of the homecoming parade and crowning him honorary homecoming king.
