Today’s Muppets of the Day are Fur Jam!
Fur Jam is a Seattle-based band spoofing Pearl Jam, composed mostly, but not entirely, of Muppet monsters. Their video of “Don’t Waste the Water” is presented as Telly’s Fuzz Clip of the Week in episode 3368 of Sesame Street.

The earliest known Muppet pig appeared on Sesame Street in episode 168, aired in 1970. Rather than being a unique puppet, the pig, who is encountered by a young boy, is a Pumpkin Anything Muppet clad in a pig’s snout, ears, and tail.
