Throwback Thursday: When Billy Crystal Met Miss Piggy in a Re-creation of "I'll Have What She's Having"
When Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan performed the famous "I'll have what she's having" scene at Katz's Deli in the 1989 R-rated film When Harry Met Sally, it became a natural choice for parodies and spoofs.
One of the copycat versions that succeeded in adapting the scene for general audiences including children was aired in 1996 on Muppets Tonight, a continuation of Jim Henson's The Muppet Show.
To get a G rating, the writers of Muppets Tonight made a small but significant change in the dialog so the act that Miss Piggy was faking was...a sneeze. In all other respects the script of the remake echoed the original dialog, including the final line, to which a short qualifier was added.
We hope you enjoy this Throwback Thursday video clip that takes us back 21 years.
Enjoy!
