Kermit and Piggy may be the stars, but the Great Gonzo is the unsung hero of the Muppet-verse. His species is mysterious, he's engaged (married?) to a chicken, and his song in The Muppet Movie actually makes us want to cry. His stunts may not always work out, but it's never for a lack of trying. Also, he's not annoying, which is a major Muppet plus!
