Whoopi Goldberg was also on SS once. I think it was only a quick skit, but she was on there.

The guest I would have liked to see most on TMS is Frank Zappa. I realize a lot of his music was more of an adult nature, but I feel he would have fit in very nicely with The Electric Mayhem. He was also known for playing strange and experimental music early in his career, which would have worked well with the quirkiness of the show. Just my opinion. I would love to read some Frank Zappa Muppet fan fic.

Here's my list of celebs who should have appeared on TMS:

Eric Idle(I know John Cleese has been on the show already, but it would have been cool to see the entire Monty Python troupe as guest stars)

Benny Hill(think about it...at the end of the episode, instead of the usual TMS instrumental with the band, they could have him and the other Muppets doing the famous "chase scene". Maybe have a "Muppetised" version of the short bald guy, whose name escapes me)

Bread-could sing with well...a loaf of bread

Very popular choice.

That would be the late Jackie Wright.
