Other Appearances
Smiley did make some appearances that didn't have anything notable to do with his hosting career. When Cookie Monster was in a bakery chewing up items that rhymed with the word "pie", Smiley came in announcing he was "Guy Smiley, star of daytime TV." At this point, Cookie couldn't remember that it was a pie he was after, and the repeated use of words that did rhyme with "pie" did nothing to jog his memory. The scene ended with him chasing Smiley around the bakery, trying to eat him.
He also appeared in a sketch featuring Grover as an Elevator Operator. It was to teach kids to face the front of an elevator. In this sketch, "Mr Smiley" (as Grover calls him) is also voiced by Jim Henson, but with a different voice to his game show personality.
In one movie theatre skit with Bert and Ernie, using Smiley as a one-line extra, the character is puppeted by Richard Hunt.
He also appeared in On Vacation With Guy Smiley, in which he tried to photograph various animals in the jungle.
Smiley shows up as a non-speaking background extra (wearing an odd, unusually stern expression) along with many other muppets in the musical skit "Some/None".
The Colbert Report has also parodied Mitt Romney by comparing him to Smiley.
