However, when it appeared there was no one in the costume, everyone was confused.
That was until they spotted Kermit's green hands poking out of the costume before he completely revealed himself.
The judges couldn't stay on their seats when Kermit was revealed, with Ken Jeong saying he was the "most famous guest" on the show.
None of the judges had guessed Snail's identity correctly, with names like Seth MacFarlane, Jay Leno and Billy Crystal bouncing around during the episode.
Speaking to Variety, Kermit said: "After years of being your average everyday talking frog, I thought it would be fun to be someone else.
"The chance to become a snail—with my own built-in mobile home—was too good to pass up… I didn’t last on the show very long. But I loved every minute of it."
