Andy Samberg *is* a natural with muppet-adjacent things- I throw the Sesame Street episode he’s in on for the kiddo about once a month, it’s delightful. The key is to be incredibly stupid on camera and completely okay with it.

Somehow I missed the call for Reverse Mailbag but I'm going to submit a nomination anyway: Brett Goldstein. Like his Shrinking coworker, Jason Segel, Goldstein is a huuuuuuuge Muppets fan, so no matter what the resulting Muppet movie is about, the behind-the-scenes featurettes and the press tour will be very fun. As penance for a late entry, here's Brett doing the entire Muppet Christmas Carol in six (6) minutes: https://youtu.be/mhEpas0TXsA?si=ug5-DwWghD5fq1kM
