Jason Segel on why he wanted to make 'The Muppets'…
"When you're a kid, the Muppets are sort of an entryway into comedy. They lead to harder comedy—Monty Python, 'Saturday Night Live.' The Muppets defined who I wanted to be as a comedian as a kid. I told Kermit, he really was my idol. Kermit's like the original Tom Hanks when you're a kid, the Jimmy Stewart."
