I think her guest appearance on that show was hilarious, especially when she gets offended after something happened and starts packing up to leave in tears, telling Kermit she's stepping out that door and 'never coming back'.
Kermit persuades her to stay by asking her to do her famous 'Asparagus Sketch'. She happily agrees and dresses up as an asparagus, but before she could do it, finds out the show is 'out of time' and was ending.
The more I study it, the greater the puzzle becomes.

Her appearance and John Cleese's are about the two funniest I recall.
She was singing very seriously and they botched up and sent the ballroom dancers out on stage as well.
So she's singing and you see the spinning couples behind her, then suddenly they go spiraling in front of her and she is startled but continues singing.
I think she had to get them all off the stage so she could do the Asparagus sketch, so she goes out there and starts singing them all into collapsing.
The holdout; ANIMAL! ANIMAL!
She sang faster to the point of exhaustion and he just kept pushing himself
til finally he collapsed as well.
