Best of Grover (video)

Best of Grover was an early proposal for a Sesame Street home video highlighting material starring Grover. An outline for the video was prepared by writer Tony Geiss, who later devised a new concept that eventually became A Celebration of Me, Grover.
Instead of a celebrity roast, the video was to revisit the show's What's My Line? spoof, "What's My Job?" Kermit the Frog was set to be the host, with panelists Elmo, Zoe, Humphrey, and Mr. Johnson. Grover initially appears for his job as a waiter, but he returns round after round to showcase the many other jobs he has had (including bringing on Fred the Wonder Horse for his role as Marshal Grover). After each guess, a classic Sesame clip associated with each job would be seen; additional Grover material not pertaining to his jobs would be used as "commercial" breaks between rounds. Some montages were also suggested, including Super Grover's crash landings and Mr. Johnson's numerous faints.
The video would end with Kermit declaring Grover "Employee of the Year - Mr. What's My Job" and he's bestowed with a glittery, golden hardhat. It was then suggested the video conclude with Grover performing either "How Do You Do?" or an original song called "I Love to Work."
Suggested inserts for the video (some of which were retained for A Celebration of Me, Grover) include:
*Waiter Grover: Big Burger and Out of Food
*"Over, Under, Around and Through"
*Earmuff Salesman
*Grover/Megan: Trip to the Moon
*Grover the Messenger
*Mumford's Rabbit Trick
*"How Do You Do?" with Lena Horne
*Marshal Grover: Back and Front in the Saddle
*Grover the Flight Attendant: Something to Read
*"Monster in the Mirror"
*Super Grover: The Barber, Exit, Fixing the Computer
*"ABC Disco"
