I think the thing I like most about this pitch isn't that it's hilarious and creative, or the anchor who pretty much explodes with patrtiotism, but that this pitch forced Jim to stop making the jokes at his expense, just for a second, and made him pronounce how awesome he truly was. He was so modest and humble that he'd never do it unless he was forced to.
As epic as this is, it's hilarious that something that seemed so "American"...needed a British TV producer to put on the air. Long live Jim, Jerry...and Lord Lew, the man insane enough to bring this insane and brilliant show to air.
"Freaky,long-haired,dirty,cynical hippies will love the freaky,long-haired,dirty,cynical Muppets!", great stuff! Not to mention the line before that about the college students. Jim Henson will always be considered by many including myself to be a purebred genius of comedy.
Holy sheeeet. That was epic. God(s) bless Jim Henson!

They cut the part out where Kermit comes out and asks "What the hell was that all about?" Excellent, though.
