Miss Piggy and Kermit dropped by Jimmy Kimmel Live! last night for a joint interview, but that doesn’t mean they’re getting back together. In fact, the interview took a turn for the awkward when Kimmel brought up a giant photo of Kermit’s new girlfriend and then revealed Miss Piggy’s Tinder profile.
The long-time celebrity power couple appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! primarily to talk about their new show, The Muppets , which is a behind-the-scenes mockumentary of Miss Piggy’s upcoming late night program Up Late With Piggy .

When asked about Up Late With Piggy , Miss Piggy told Kimmel, “I basically do whatever it is you do here, only, you know, better and in high heels.”
The dig at Kimmel came only after the host prodded both parts of the former celebrity couple to discuss some pretty uncomfortable subject matter.
Kimmel kicked off the interview with the question everyone has been asking for the last month.
“I don’t want to pry, but why did you break up in the first place?” Kimmel asked. “You always seemed so happily unhappy together.”
“Are you sure you don’t want to pry?” Kermit shot back. “Because it sounds like you want to pry.”
According to Kermit, he and Miss Piggy simply wanted different things. Miss Piggy, on the other hand, had an entire laundry list of complaints that she aired out, including Kermit’s insistence on “doing the dishes while taking a bath in the sink.”
Things got awkward for Miss Piggy when Kimmel put up a wall-sized picture of Kermit’s new girlfriend, Denise. A much younger pig than Miss Piggy, Denise is a head of marketing at ABC, according to Kermit.
When prodded about her age, Kermit answered that she is “old enough.” Miss Piggy and Kermit’s breakup was big news last month according to E! Online , as a number of exchanges between the two went viral on social media.
According to Miss Piggy, that was to be expected.
“Anything that happens to me is going to be front-page news,” Miss Piggy explained. “I’m kind of like the Donald Trump of love, you know. Everything I do is huge.”
While Kermit rebounded pretty fast with Denise , after initially denying the relationship, Miss Piggy is taking things more slowly. Kermit took a shot at her dating habits, but Piggy wasn’t ashamed to admit she does “go out, pretty much every night, with a new face.”
Later in the interview, Kimmel threw Miss Piggy’s new Tinder profile up on the wall.
