Alphabet O'Malley

This reminds me a little of the "Alphabet O'Malley" skit.

Two male Anything Muppets are friends, and one (AM) asks the other, named Alphabet O'Malley (AO), what his real name is. He responds with:

AO: "Arnold, Byron, Charles....." and lists off 26 names in alphabetical order, followed by "O'Malley". (I think W was Wildemere, and Edward, Jerome, and Kyle were in there. Z sounded something like Zantac.")
AM: "You mean your name is Arnold, Byron, Charles..(repeats all 26 names) O'Malley?"
AO: "Eee-yep."
AM: "I don't think I can remember that"
AO: "Then you can call me by my initials"
AM: "What are your initials"
AO: "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ O'Malley"
AM: "You mean your initials are ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ O'Malley"
AO: "Yeah."
AM: "How's about I just call you Alphabet O'Malley."
AO: "It's fine with me."
(Muppet puts arm around back of other)
AM: "Thanks, Alph"

Could you describe what these two characters looked like (for the Count's Muppet listing)?

It was so long ago, I forgot what the Anything Muppets looked like. But I'm pretty sure that they were both "skinny" Muppets, and one was probably the green one.

I don't remember that one, but I do remember there was a similar sketch in which a guy had a baby with a name for every letter of the alphabet. Maria (voice-over) was asking him questions and the guy said he called the baby ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ for short. Then Maria asked if the baby had any brothers or sisters and the man gave the name of a girl with a name for every letter of the alphabet. When Maria asked what he called her for short, he said 'sis.' That's kind of off topic here, but that last post reminded me of that.
