Who is Guy Smiley?

[golden teeth]

I think I know who he is. Is he that guy that looks like a person, has black hair and sounds like Rowlf the dog? I think he is, right?

Guy Smiley

Guy Smiley, originally voiced by Jim Henson, now very rarely seen except in older segments of SS is a a black-haired human muppet, who is always smiling and works as a game show host. His voice is somewhat like Rowlf's but a lot louder.

Hmmm...

Umm, is he the same puppet as Don Music?

 

[abiraniriba]

absolutely not

No way, Guy is black haired and Don is Brown. Also Guy's hair is neatly combed, while Don's hair hasn't seen a comb in three years

tHEY LOOK exactly the same

They look exactly the same. It looks like they took a second Guy Smiley and put a wig and glasses on it.

That is very possible. They used to do a similar thing with The Count and Mumford. It is very common.

Oh!

I see!

 

[abiraniriba]

That might be.

It could be, however, they are two very different characters. Guy Smiley is much more certain of his abilities as a game show host, whereas Don Music is always doubting himself to the point where he says "I'll never get it, never get it, never , never, never," while incessantly banging his head on the piano.

The only time Guy Smiley can be seen these days is in the old skit Do De Rubber Duck which still airs on the current Sesame Street every once in a while. He's seen singing in the bathtub with Ernie and many other classic charachters.
