Guy Smiley, in the grand tradition of game show hosts, wears a toupee.

Times when a character is shown or revealed to wear a wig, toupee, or other hairpiece. See building faces, where all features (including hair) are altered. Not including disguises and general dressup.
While this list does not include animated characters (where hair addition or removal is merely a matter of drawings and not a physical hairpiece), Wanda the Witch wears (and washes) a wiry wig.
Characters with hairpieces[]
- Link Hogthrob, in a Bear on Patrol sketch in The Muppet Show episode 524, is awaiting a salesman to sell him a new toupee (and acknowledges that he's currently wearing one.) Link's character profile in The Muppets Character Encyclopedia mentions that Link likes to wear hats "especially when he can't find his toupee".
- Louis Kazagger, in the first Muppet Sports sketch in episode 310, covers the sport of wig racing. At the end, when the race starts, Kazagger's own hair jumps off his head as a competitor.
- Rapunzel - Her Sesame Street News Flash segment ends with her letting down all of her hair, which she literally drops from her head.
- Customers of Grover the Salesman on Sesame Street have received hairpieces, wanted or not. Grover gives one to Kermit at home (as an excuse to sell hair care products) and peddles one to Mr. Johnson in a later sketch (but the only one the customer actually likes is a guinea pig).
