Kermit the Frog was tapped to emcee the virtual Rose Parade on New Year’s Day, and viewers were freaked out because the beloved Muppet sounded like he had a... well, a frog in his throat. A blindfolded Miss Piggy never would have known the host of the California spectacle was her beloved Kermie because, as one Twitter critic put it, he sounded like a middle-aged man. “As a 80's and 90's kid I personally feel traumatized by that Kermit the Frog voice. Just no,” another commented.
