America's Next Muppet is a six-episode mini-series, which ABC announced in 2005 it was purchasing. The mini-series is going to be produced by The Jim Henson Company for Disney, and is going to be a direct parody of America's Next Top Model. The show is going to feature many famous Muppet characters, such as Kermit the Frog (Steve Whitmire),Miss Piggy (Eric Jacobson), Fozzie Bear (Eric Jacobson), and Gonzo (Dave Goelz) in a reality TV-show spoof, holding a talent contest to find the next Muppet to add to their famous group.

In October 2005, ABC ordered 1 full script, and 5 episode outlines for review before giving the final go-ahead. The show is tentatively scheduled to air in the summer of 2006.
