| abstract | - The puppet debuted in a season 6 skit (played by Jim Henson) in a sketch where Grover finds an empty telephone booth (EKA: Episode 0675). For this first appearance, along with his appearances in season 7, the puppet was a Green Anything Muppet draped entirely in blue fur. The blue fur pattern would later be converted into an AM monster in season 8, and was used frequently as a background monster from 1975 through 1984. He continued to make appearances in productions as recently as 2003. He is one of the longest running background characters; few other Sesame Muppets have been around that long without becoming a significant character. Maurice appeared as one of the Frazzletones in 1975, singing "Frazzle" with the title monster himself. He had a major role in a 1975 episode, where he and Herry Monster were afraid of the dark out on the street and decide to sleep near Big Bird. In Season 11, he was featured in Monsterpiece Theater's "Me, Claudius" (along with Harvey, Bruce, and Elmo). The puppet was used as Kermit the Gorf in The Wonderful World of T-Shirts sketch where Kermit the Frog tries to buy a customized T-shirt with his name on it. Like most Anything Monsters, Maurice's puppeteer varied according to the sketch. In addition to Henson, performers included Richard Hunt (in "Say the Word, "Me Claudius," the "First and Last" sketch, and the song "Beginning, Middle, End,") Jerry Nelson (in "Frazzle" and "The Wonderful World of T-shirts" sketch), and others on various occasions. In 2017, the puppet reappeared — refurbished, heavily altered and closely resembling Frazzle — as Boso in Eine Möhre für Zwei: Pizza mit Biss, a spin-off of German co-production Sesamstrasse.
