Jim Henson at the Macy's parade


Macy's annual Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City wouldn't be quite right without the annual appearance of the 75'0 tall Kermit the Frog balloon, a fixture of the parade since it debuted in the late 1970s. X-Entertainment has a rare clip online from the `87 parade that features Jim Henson and Kermit being interviewed by Williard Scott (link via Chris). Also from the XE is footage of the Kermit balloon in 1985.

I remember watching these when they originally aired - hard to believe it was almost 20 years ago!
