Biden finally agrees to press conference, but only if asked questions by The Muppets

The White House has finally announced that Joe Biden will hold his first-ever public press conference after nearly 60 days in office.

But the Biden administration has opted for a unique and exciting format for the Q&A session that will rival the time Bill Clinton hosted a totally wasted Boris Yeltsin at the White House.

“We’re excited to announce the first press conference of Joe Biden’s presidency. And to maintain the seriousness and dignity of the event, the president has requested that the press room be restricted to cast members of The Muppets franchise,” said White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki.

“I really like Kermit the Frog’s style,” quipped Biden while organizing his Gonzo doll collection. “And that Fozzie Bear – he’s a riot. But that Animal…he needs some therapy.”

Journalists cheered the bold and progressive move. “This will really change the face of American journalism, and for the better. A bunch of anthropomorphic animal puppets asking the leader of the free world whether he likes spaghetti or mac and cheese will force Americans to take the mainstem media more seriously,” said CNN’s Jim Acosta.

Neither Kermit nor Miss Piggy were available for comment.
