SNL Muppet Appearances!

As most fans know, before heading off to make The Muppet Show, Jim Henson's Muppets were featured on Saturday Night Live's first season.

New characters were created for a series sketches called The Land of Gorch. While those characters wouldn't be used again, The Muppet Show and Sesame Street Muppets have made sporadic appearances on SNL since. 

Below are a few:
