Chopped Liver is an alien monster from the galaxy Zabar, who made several minor appearances on The Muppet Show. The name of his galaxy is a reference to Zabar's, a well-known gourmet grocery store on the Upper West Side of New York City.
Chopped Liver made his first appearance in a "Pigs in Space" sketch, terrorizing the crew of the Swinetrek in episode 224. He reappeared on "Pigs in Space" as a salesman for Swunko in episode 512.
Chopped Liver was also one of the otherworldly musicians in The Vile Bunch, the band that backed up Alice Cooper in episode 307.
Chopped Liver makes a cameo in Muppets Meet the Classics: Fairy Tales from the Brothers Grimm. He appears near the end of "The Pig and the Prawn Sign a Lease", and Miss Piggy invites him in for lunch.
