Pat Sajak Joining The Cast of New Muppets Haunted Mansion!

Move over Grim Grinning Ghost… Grim Grinning MUPPETS are coming out to socialize! A new Halloween special is on the way to Disney+ on October 8, 2021. A spooktacular fun way to bring in the spooky season, we’re ready to see what all the Muppet friends have to dish out with the new “Muppets Haunted Mansion”. And now, there has been a special announcement that will have Miss Piggy sharing the spotlight in the terrifying tale!

While attending the DIS Family Reunion 2021 at Walt Disney World to benefit Give Kids The World Village, on September 10 Pat Sajak took the stage as it was announced that he would be joining the Cast for the new Muppets Haunted Mansion coming soon to Disney Plus. Check out the spooky fun Haunted Mansion bust of Mr. Sajak below:

Looking good Sajak! Welcome to the Cast of beloved characters! So, what’s to expect from this all-new Halloween special? Besides seeing all your Muppet favorites like Kermit, Miss Piggy, Fozzie, Gonzo, and more, the beloved Muppet, Gonzo, will be in a role like no other he has played before as it is reported that “In this new series, the Great Gonzo – world-famous daredevil artiste, has done it all, seen it all, and survived it all. But on Halloween night, the fearless Gonzo takes on the greatest challenge of his life by spending one very daring night in the most grim-grinning place on Earth … The Haunted Mansion.” Check out the original announcement from the Muppets video below:

We can’t wait to see what Sajak’s involvement will be in the Muppets Halloween special… but it definitely gives us just another reason to want to stream the new Muppet Haunted Mansion when it premiers on October 8, 20201, exclusively on Disney+. Happy streaming, Foolish Mortals!

New Logo Revealed for The Muppets Studio

“It’s time to play the music; it’s time to light the lights.” It’s time to debut the logo for The Muppet Studio tonight! (Well, today, but that didn’t work with the song.) The Muppets took to Twitter to show off a shiny new logo. Let’s take a look!

The Muppets Studio has gone through several logos over the years, but we didn’t feel that the current logo really represented who we are as a studio today and the direction we’re headed. Now that we have projects that originated fully from our team, we felt it was the right time to make the change to represent who we are now. This has been in the works for quite some time, and we’re so excited to get it out into the world,” Muppets Studio Vice President Leigh Slaughter said in an interview with ToughPigs, a Muppets fansite.

Watch the reveal video below.

Slaughter also confirmed that the logo may change, similarly to how the castle logo for Disney films changes. “As you know, our next project – which I’m very excited about and cannot wait for you to see – is “Muppets Haunted Mansion.” You’ll see the new logo attached to that special is a customized way that evokes the spirit of that particular project.”

The new logo will be used on new Muppets projects, with Muppets Haunted Mansion coming to Disney+ this fall.
