Orange Gold The Orange Gold Anything Muppet is a yellowish ( 123 ) hand - rod puppet with a large jaw , used on " Sesame Street " . Guy Smiley is the most notable example of this type . The pattern differs from many other Anything Muppets . While Fat Blue or Lavender heads could be attached to different bodies and the features were completely interchangeable , many of the Orange Gold variations feature the same type of face ( including a pointy nose ) , arms , and body with only the eyes , hair , and accessories altered . One variation , Prince Charming , is in fact a near duplicate of Guy Smiley , only with different attire and voice . In the 1990s , a live - hand version of the pattern was developed for Monty . An antecedent to the look of this pattern , and of Guy Smiley in general , is the Conrad Love puppet used in Federal Housing Administration commercials , a 1967 appearance on " The Ed Sullivan Show " , and in the Sesame Street Pitch Reel . Although the Guy Smiley character was used on " Sesame Street " as far back as its first season , it wasn ' t until the fourth season in 1972 that a special copy of the Orange Gold puppet was made with eyebrows that were able to raise and lower , allowing Guy and others of this pattern to show more range of emotion . Examples of the " Sesame Street " characters developed from this Anything Muppet include the following : Orange Gold Live Hand . Since the early 1990 ' s , a live hand variant has also been used . Examples include :
