Henson’s foray into the world of television humor began when he collaborated with the likes of Frank Oz and the early crew of Saturday Night Live (SNL). The documentary touches on the rarely discussed aspect of how the first season of SNL featured Muppet characters, highlighting a time when the show was filled with sardonic humor that didn't initially embrace the whimsical nature of puppetry. In fact, many found the Muppets to be an odd addition to the show, which created a challenging atmosphere for Henson during this period.
