Miss Piggy (The Muppets)

Miss Piggy is one of the most iconic and beloved characters from The Muppets, known for her glamorous style, diva attitude, and unshakable self-confidence.

Introduced in 1974 on The Herb Alpert Special and gaining prominence on The Muppet Show, Miss Piggy is a larger-than-life pig who dreams of stardom and romance, particularly with her on-again, off-again love interest, Kermit the Frog. Her personality combines charm and ferocity, often seen in her famous “hi-yah!” karate chops when provoked. Despite her diva antics, Miss Piggy is also portrayed as vulnerable and deeply loyal to her friends.

Miss Piggy was brought to life by the legendary puppeteer Frank Oz, who performed her from her earliest appearances until 2001. Oz’s ability to infuse her with wit, sophistication, and humor helped solidify her place in pop culture. Since 2001, Eric Jacobson has taken over as her principal performer, continuing to embody her larger-than-life personality and wit.

Over the decades, Miss Piggy has become a cultural icon, appearing in numerous films, television specials, and even as a fashion muse, embodying her motto: “Never eat more than you can lift!” She remains an enduring symbol of confidence, resilience, and unapologetic fabulousness.
