Beautiful Day Monster appearances on "The Muppet Show"

[Philip Kippel]

Which specific episodes of "The Muppet Show" did Beautiful Day Monster appear in? Which sketches was he in, what did he do and who performed him?

The Beautiful Day Muppet Show appearances that I DO know of are:

#3 Joel Grey--"Comedy Tonight"
#8 Paul Williams--travel office sketch with Paul ("Got anything cheaper?")
#9 Charles Aznavour--"I Feel Pretty"
#14 Sandy Duncan--"Nice Girl Like Me"
#16 Avery Schrieber--gets whacked by Gonzo at the end of the original opening credits
#19 Vincent Price--cameo in "At the Dance"
#21 Twiggy--gets whacked by Gonzo at the end of the original opening credits
#46 Peter Sellers--blows a trumpet behind Gonzo at the end of the opening credits
#68 Sylvester Stallone--grabs Gonzo's trumpet and plays it at the end of the opening credits

Any others?

Was he ever in the goodnights?

Thanks again everyone. Bye for now.

Beautiful Day was in the goodnights of the Milton Berle episode (though he didn't appear in the body of the episode). I think he was in the goodnights of the Joel Grey episode too (you can just barely see him on the right, when Fozzie moves his head).

He was also in the UK Spot of the Zero Mostel episode, and appears in the background of At the Dance on the Bruce Forsyth episode.

Yes, but only in the Paul Williams episode.

Jerry Nelson performed Beautiful Day in the Charles Aznavour episode.

Beautiful Day was usually performed by Jim Henson.

On "Sesame Street", he was in the "Lulu's Back In Town" segment (a bit I wish they had used on The Muppet Show). This was around the time of the Street's first season or so. A green Anything Muppet (voiced by Jim) sang the song, and "Lulu" turned out to be Beautiful Day in a blonde wig.
