Yes John Cleese did guest star in an episode from season 2.
Big Bird also guest starred alongside Leslie Uggams in a season 3 episode.

I just thought that Big Bird should have hosted

TSF, you've got just about all of my fanfics in there, save for Jerry Orbach and the 3 I did with guests who had died prior to TMS. You've even got two that I haven't finished, Redbone and Ritter (those ones are gonna be a while, unfortunately). Can I take that as a compliment?

As far as who I'd have liked to see on the show, everyone I've done a fanfic on who was alive at the time (see the link in my siggie), plus Eric Clapton, plus a lot of guests I'm still working on fanfics for, including Rodney Dangerfield, Abe Burrows, Henny Youngman, Gene Wilder, Shari Lewis, Tom Jones, Steve Allen, Leon Redbone, John Ritter, Art Garfunkel, Neil Diamond, Gordon Lightfoot, Carole King, Cat Stevens, Alan Alda, and Benny Goodman. I also had an interesting idea for an Andy Kaufman episode, with Kaufman-esque plotline in which the Muppets discover that their guest star is actually a puppet.

I would have loved to see an Andy Kaufman episode. Comic Genius!!!

 

[Elchippo]

He died right around the time the show premiered, but wouldn't this have been a cool final appearance for Charlie Chaplin?
