Physicist. Cosmologist. Professor. Author. Survivor. Stephen Hawking wore many hats, all of which weren’t just impressive, but downright inspiring. Which is one of the many reasons we’re saddened to learn that one of the greatest minds of recent years has passed away.
Like any important human being, Stephen Hawking has had his moments interacting with the Muppets. He was mentioned in It’s a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie, as Beaker sold his periodic table signed by Professor Hawking in order to buy Bunsen a stand for his electron microscope. Sad.
A more concrete collaboration was last year when Hawking participated in a Red Nose Day video, in which celebrities auditioned to be his new voice. One of those celebrities was none other than Miss Piggy.

Yeah, I’m still bummed she didn’t get the gig.
