Firstly I wanna give a HUUUGE thanks to Kineko Video for scanning this! They're so awesome. They do great work, check them out!

I've had this reel in my collection for a while and didn't realize the significance of it until a couple months after getting it. I believe this is a kinescope of the original ending to the Kaye Ballard episode, which has an often-omitted ITC logo at the end.

This is only the raw scan - Garrett Gilchrist (known to have restored episodes of The Jim Henson Hour, Little Muppet Monsters, and various other Muppet specials) has done some wonderful cleanup work with it and added it to a collection of various rare original end logos for The Muppet Show, which you can view here:
