One of Grover's many jobs on Sesame Street is that of a salesman. The majority of these sketches feature Grover trying to sell a product to Kermit the Frog in his apartment. Amongst other mishaps in retail, Grover has also made several attempts to exercise his salesmanship with Mr. Johnson.

Grover agrees, and offers to sell him a comb, a hair brush, some shampoo, and hair tonic.
