Behemoth

Behemoth (known more recently as Gene) is an orange monster who appeared occasionally as part of the troupe of Muppet monsters on The Muppet Show, and has also appeared in Muppets Tonight and the 2011 film The Muppets. He first appeared in episode 114, where he was a full-body character for the only time and had black eyebrows instead of brown ones. A notable moment for Behemoth was the MUSICALnumber "Under My Skin", during which he tried to eat Shakey Sanchez while singing the song. He made a comeback in The Muppets, both in a speaking role in the film and appearing in several of the promotional campaign spots and images. Behemoth has been performed by Richard Hunt (in episode 119), Dave Goelz (in episode 115), Jerry Nelson (in episode 202) and Bill Barretta (The Muppets, and other recent appearances).
