Fonzie's jacket had better watch out -- more legendary TV props are moving into the Smithsonian.
Jim Henson's original Muppets will join the Fonz's jacket, Dorothy's ruby slippers and other famous pop culture items at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History.
According to the Washington Business Journal, the original Kermit is among the donations from Muppet co-founder Jane Henson. Yes, it's the Kermit made from Jim Henson's mother's coat and ping pong balls.
Kermit will be joined by nine other donations including the oldest surviving Muppet, Pierre the French Rat.
Jane Henson and "Today" weatherman Willard Scott will present the donation on Wednesday.
