The Big Fat Quiz of the Year is an annual British television quiz show that airs sometime at the turn of the calendar year. Three teams, consisting of two celebrities each, answer questions about events from the previous year.

- The 2013 edition featured a pre-recorded appearance by Gonzo (promoting Muppets Most Wanted) asking the panelists what unusual object was found in the sewers under the streets of Kingston upon Thames.

Muppet Mentions[]
- During the 2023 edition, panelists were asked what an eyewitness saw in the sky above Montana. Panelist Rosie Jones guesses that they saw a big bird, claiming that in America, "birds are, like, really big." Host Jimmy Carr asked Rosie, "Have you seen Sesame Street?" Referencing the frilly yellow dress she had on, he then asked if she was wearing Big Bird. Panelists included Richard Ayoade.
