Okay, here it goes, I'll try my best, it may not be accurate though because it's been forever:

Kermit introduces himslef, as always, and wants to discuss 'clues'. Basically, it involves two of the anything muppets and Beautiful Day Monster, as I metioned before.

The first anything muppet he talks to is a farm boy holding a string of carrots and Kermit explains that he can tell he has been growing vegetables by the 'clues', such as a garden hoe and of course, the carrots.

The next anything muppet, oddly the famous Fatblue (LOL!) as a carpenter, Kermit can tell he built a birdhouse by the supplies he had (hammer, wood, nails etc.)

The last is with Beautiful Day. He is seen with a suitcase and an umbrella and Kermit figures he is taking a vacation and has the umbrella for protection from the rain outside.

BD Monster says he's wrong, because it's not raining outside. He then explains it's not for protection, it's for lunch!

Kermit: 'What's in the suitcase then?'

Beautiful Day: "Ketchup!"

Kermit:"Ketchup??"

Beautiful Day:"Yeah who would eat an umbrella without ketchup?Yucky!"

Then he chows down, and that ends the skit.

Xerus described this very skit sometime ago, and here's what he said:

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.
Yep, that's how I remember that skit. And I only remember seeing it one or two times as a little kid.

Also, it's interesting to see Beautiful Day with a tender side. How he loved his wife. But then also showing his usual scary side by scaring Guy Smiley.
