UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif., Sept. 1 (UPI) -- The Muppets' Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy are set to "perform" on "America's Got Talent," NBC announced Tuesday.

The iconic puppets will be seen on Wednesday's live results show, the network said. They are to sing before judge David Hasselhoff performs.

The Muppets' curmudgeons Statler and Waldorf are also expected to appear on the show to provide their signature acerbic commentary, NBC said.
