Amazon.com is an e-commerce company that began in 1995 as an online bookstore. They have since gone on to sell DVDs, CDs, housewares, clothing, and a variety of other products.

In the summer of 2005, Amazon.com offered an exclusive streaming interview with Miss Piggy and Kermit the Frog for pre-orders made to The Muppet Show: Season One and The Muppets' Wizard of Oz DVD. Piggy is asked if she could take Sydney Bristow from Alias in a fight and states that she'd like to play Scarlett O'Hara in Gone with the Wind. She figures that Amazon.com sells everything, so that's what's on her Wish List: everything. Kermit says he stays young by attending a spa back in the swamp and would like to play the part of Yoda.

To promote The Muppet Show: Season Three on DVD, Kermit and Fozzie Bear appeared together in a series of interviews culled from questions submitted by fans.

Amazon's audiobook and podcast subsidiary, Audible, has produced exclusive Sesame Street podcasts, including The Sesame Street Podcast with Foley & Friends and Ready, Set, Ride with Elmo.
