Honkers The Honkers are fuzzy creatures from " Sesame Street " who communicate by honking their bulbous noses . Conceptualised by Tony Geiss , the Honkers made their debut in 1980 , during Season 12 ( first appearing in episode 1458 ) . Honkers come in a variety of colors , and baby Honkers are hatched from eggs . It is not known how closely related ( if at all ) the Honker species is to that of The Dingers , although there are similarities between the two . As the Honkers never speak , their performers vary , depending on puppeteer availability . In the feature film " Follow That Bird " , Tim Gosley performed the Honker who served as Oscar ' s car horn . That specific Honker puppet has been named several times . Another Honker whose name has been mentioned is Henrietta Honker , the small pink honker . Most of the Honker puppets were constructed with only one arm , built for the puppeteer ' s left hand . This arm is directly connected to the front of the body , but on the television screen , it is barely noticeable due to the amount of fur and fabric on a Honker ' s body , and the framing of the puppet on - screen . A few songs have focused on the Honkers and their unique talent , including " Honk Around the Clock " and " The Honker - Duckie - Dinger Jamboree " . A list of Honker puppets used on the show : Notes . Performers of the Honkers have included Brian Muehl , Kathryn Mullen , and Cheryl Blaylock , all of whom did them in " The Honker - Duckie - Dinger Jamboree " , and Pam Arciero and Jim Martin , who operated them in " Conga " . Despite being depicted on Sesame Street as non - vocal , in " A Muppet Family Christmas " , they are seen singing along with the rest of the crew during the musical numbers .

Into the Night Into the Night is a 1985 comedy - thriller directed by John Landis . It tells the story of an insomniac man and a woman on the run whose paths cross late one night in Hollywood . The film is notable not only for launching the careers of Jeff Goldblum and Michelle Pfeiffer , but Landis ' s insertion of several Hollywood creatives who usually work behind the camera , including Rick Baker ( make - up artist who worked on the 1976 " King Kong " and " An American Werewolf in London " ) , Jack Arnold ( director of " It Came from Outer Space " ) , Jonathan Demme ( director of " The Silence of the Lambs " ) , Carl Gottlieb ( who co - wrote and appeared in " Jaws " ) , Amy Heckerling ( director of " Fast Times at Ridgemont High " and " Clueless " ) , Lawrence Kasdan ( writer of " The Empire Strikes Back " and " Raiders of the Lost Ark " ) , and several others . Among these , Jim Henson is credited in the film as " Man on Phone " . Outside of cameos in his own productions , the brief moment is unique as Henson ' s only on - screen appearance in a movie . His scene takes place fifty minutes into the narrative when Goldblum ' s character reaches out for help at a private club . Henson is seated , mid - conversation on the phone , and asks , " Have I ever lied to you ? Okay , well . . . But , can we talk about it ? " Interrupted , he ends the call with , " Listen , Bernie . I ' ll call you back later . " The reference to " Bernie " is another of many Henson would make over the years to his friend and manager , Bernie Brillstein . Writing for Jim Henson ' s Red Book in 2012 , the Jim Henson Company archivist explained , " Landis had become friends with Jim and Frank Oz during " The Muppet Movie " ( Landis puppeteered in the finale ) , and Frank had already appeared in Landis ’ s films " Trading Places " and " The Blues Brothers " . It was Jim ’ s turn , and he had fun in his rare turn before the camera . " The blog entry goes on to explain that Henson filmed the cameo during the same trip in which he ' d appear as a speaker at the George Pal Lecture on Fantasy Film . Continuing the tradition of including Frank Oz in his movies , Landis also inserted an " easter egg " reference to his friend in a scene near the end of the film . As Pfeiffer ' s character walks through the airport , an announcer over the loud speaker can be heard , " Mr . Oznowicz . Mr . Frank Oznowicz , please go to a white courtesy telephone . " Years later , while promoting " Thor : Ragnarok " in 2017 , Goldblum recalled meeting Henson : " Hey , I got to act with , or be with , be associated with Jim Henson before his untimely and sad passing . He was in a movie — do you know ? — he was in a movie along with other , a lot of other directors that were cast in this movie , uh , " Into the Night " in 1984 . And so , Jim Henson has a part in it . So I think I met him on that occasion . "
