The Mr. and Mrs. Game

[Xerus]

Does anyone remember when Guy Smiley hosted the Mr. and Mrs. Game? This was shown very rarely back in the 70s. Guy did his usual welcoming us to his game show speech and then introduced the contestants. They were the Beautiful Day monster and his wife who had dark green fur, a long purple nose, curly black hair, and a flowered hat. They came in dancing not looking at what they were bumping into.

Then Guy asked Mr. Beautiful Day to get into an isolation booth so he couldn't hear the questions Guy asked his wife. And here were the questions.

Guy: "What's your husband's favorite color?"

Mrs. Beautiful Day: "Green!"

Guy: "What's your husband's favorite food?"

Mrs. Beautiful Day: "Cookie!"

Guy: "What's your husband's favorite sport?"

Mrs. Beautiful Day: "Scaring people!"

When the questions were done, they let Mr. Beautiful Day out of the booth and the two monsters started dancing again knocking over more scenery. Then Guy separated them and asked Mr. Beautiful day what's his favorite color, food, and sport one at a time. And Mr. Beautiful Day replied to each question. "GREEN!" "COOKIE!" "SCARING PEOPLE!"

And he demonstrated by growling at Guy causing him to run and crash into the isolation booth. The monsters became so happy that they've won that they danced some more knocking over more scenery.

I do recall this skit, although not in the wonderful, multicolored detail that you do.
If I'm recalling right, I think this clip was actually my introduction to the beloved Beautiful Day monster.

I do remember that sketch vaguely, but had no idea what the game show was called.

I remember that skit too, although not in detail. I seem to recall that, after winning, Beautiful Day turned down a bunch of elaborate prizes for a cookie.

Is that the sketch that gave Cookie Monster his name, possibly, as legend has it?

I seem to remember an old Ernie and Bert skit on Sesame Park that had to do with Cookies, and I thought that Cookie Monster was gonna come and eat them at the end, but he didn't, Beautiful Day Monster ate them instead! I couldn't believe it!

It's been ages since I've seen that, but for those who remember it more clearly, is this correct? The Green Monster who played Beautiful Day's wife was the same Monster who was in the Monster's "A/'Ey!" skit - the one on the far right - without a wig. It was also in the Muppets Magic DVD in the Arthur Godrey sketch, without pink eyelids.

Was this skit the one where Guy Smiley was introduced as "'Sonny Friendly" of which I've heard?

I do remember reading something about Cookie Monster getting his name from a game show skit where he chose a cookie over prizes, but memory tells me that it was Beautiful Day Monster, not Cookie Monster. It is easy to get skits with those two monsters confused since they were used interchangeably in the first season. It's also possible that they could have made two similar skits.

There was definitely at least one early skit where Guy Smiley was introduced as "Sonny Friendly", but I don't know if this is the one.

Guy was callled Sonny Friendly in a game show called Pick Your Pet. The contestant was a little girl who had to pick from 3 pets. Either a bird, a dog, or the Beautiful Day monster. The girl chose Beautiful Day because she mistook it for a cat and Beautiful Day decided to act like a cuddly kitty just to go home with her.
