Tony (Anything Muppet)

Tony is a green Anything Muppet who often appears in the company of large, furry monsters (whether he wants to be or not). He participated in several Sesame Street sketches and is featured by name in the 1973 character style guide. His name is also mentioned by Gordon in Episode 0080, by himself and a potential date in the song "Help!" and in segment scripts featuring the character.Documents provided by trusted source
He debuted in "Lulu's Back in Town" with Lulu (played by Beautiful Day Monster) . The duo also appeared that same season in a cover of "Windy" . His last appearance was in Season 10.
The puppet was slightly adjusted over time; his pink nose was replaced with a light blue one in Season 2, and he gained a pair of eyebrows from Season 3 onward.
The same puppet used for Tony was also seen in a sketch as the clerk in a clothing store (performed by Jerry Nelson) assisting a woman looking for a blue, furry coat (who ends up buying Cookie Monster when Tony doesn't have anything in stock to match her tastes).
