During the Muppets heyday, anyone who was anyone guested on the show and films – including Madeline Kahn, Bob Hope, Carol Burnett, Johnny Cash, Joan Rivers and even the great Orson Welles. As we learned last week, Jason Segel’s ‘Muppets](http://www.moviefone.com/movie/the-muppets/51639/main)’ movie is looking to hold up that tradition, populating the cast and cameo list with a ton of recognizable names.
The rumored possibilities listed all manner of current bigwigs – Jane Lynch, Jack Black, Zach Galifianakis, and even Lady Gaga. Now the first batch of official cameos has been released, and it’s packed with more than some of those once-rumored names. There are also a few surprises, like Billy Crystal, who hasn’t been in a live action film since 2002’s ‘Analyze That.’ (We’re not counting any uncredited blips in ‘Tooth Fairy’ … and can only hope that this leads to more live-action work!)
