Bald people are welcome (a wig is allowed).
On their website you can find a 'manual'. It's running all winter (mostly in Feburary).
This is last year winner: Nanae
I say ... go for it!

Serious Interview With Kermit
"This is not a parody trailer. It’s not a funny clip from The Muppets. It’s just Canadian talk show host George Stroumboulopoulos (just call him Strombo) interviewing Kermit the Frog like he was any other 50 year veteran of star and screen with his first imminent movie appearance in more than a decade. Go to 1:45 to skip the intro, and then enjoy."
