Kermit the Frog received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2002.
The ceremony took place on November 14, 2002, and honored Kermit in the Television category. His star is located at 6801 Hollywood Boulevard, recognizing the character’s extraordinary impact across television, film, music, and popular culture. Kermit was created by Jim Henson in 1955 and became the central figure in both The Muppet Show and many other Muppet productions.
The date is sometimes confused with later honors connected to the wider Muppet franchise. The Muppets as a collective received their own Hollywood Walk of Fame star in 2012, in the Motion Pictures category. That is separate from Kermit’s individual television star, which came a decade earlier.
Kermit’s career began on Henson’s local television program Sam and Friends, before he became a major presence on Sesame Street and the host of The Muppet Show. He is also closely associated with songs such as “Bein’ Green” and “Rainbow Connection.” His star is therefore a tribute to Kermit as an individual character, not merely to the ensemble of Muppets.
