This is from "Muppets Tonight" a short-lived program from the nineties made by Jim Henson's company after his death.
The premise of Muppets Tonight was that Clifford (a Muppet who first appeared on The Jim Henson Hour and was voiced by Kevin Clash) was the host of a variety/talk show on KMUP. The show stuck closely to the Muppet Show format of various skits (mostly featuring the show's human guest star) interspersed with some sort of crisis occurring backstage.
Among the regular sketches were parodies of Baywatch (as Bay of Pigswatch); the various Star Trek sequels (as Deep Dish Nine: The Next Generation of Pigs In Space); and ER (as E-I-E-I-O R).
The show ran from 1996 to 1998. There were 22 episodes produced in two batches. 13 episodes were ordered by ABC, which only ran 10 of them in the 1995-96 TV season. The program was then purchased by the Disney Channel, which ordered a further nine episodes and aired these along with the three episodes ABC did not air, in the 1997-98 season.

I started to think that this was sorta funny and hip for the post-Henson, sellout, Disnified muppets, but then they cut out "My God! What have I done?!". I mean Christ, they might as well have left ALL the words out. Disney is just plain awful.
"Well, only one in two million people has what we call the "evil gene". Hitler had it, Walt Disney had it, and Freddy Quimby has it."
