No celebrity was allowed to host more than once during the show’s six-year run. Rita Moreno hosted the first episode while other stars like Johnny Cash, Julie Andrews, and John Denver made appearances too.

Although, Denver appeared in two specials: John Denver and the Muppets: A Christmas Together and John Denver & the Muppets: Rocky Moutain Holiday.
