There've been a number of threads about Muppets WIs, but I thought I'd go for a slightly different take on it.
The Muppet Show, running (in OTL) from 1976 to 1981, every week had some B-list celebrity (usually musicians or comedians, but they had a variety; they got bigger names in the later seasons, as the show gained popularity) who was willing to show up to a studio outside London for a half hour of silly variety.
Which other celebrities' appearances (not necessarily OTL's 1970s celebrities, of course) should we have seen?
I'll start off with Buddy Holly: in this Season 3 episode, the aging Rock-n-Roller performs some of his classic hits with Muppet backup. Most notable is the ending of the performance of "Not Fade Away", in which both Holly and the Electric Mayhem fade out, leaving an empty stage.
