Klaus Mueller of West Paraguay competes in the Marathon Tree-Staring Contest, which is covered by "Muppet Sports" in The Muppet Show episode 411.

After staring at the tree for more than 87 hours, Klaus finally wins the contest. Louis Kazagger announces that Klaus wins the $10,000 prize, but then the tree falls on Klaus. Louis promises to give the money to Klaus' widow (though the tree retorts that he was not married).
