| DEBUT | 1980 |
The White Rabbit from Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland appeared in The Muppet Show episode 506. Somewhat more aggressive than most versions of the character, the White Rabbit at one point bodily threatens Kermit. He is featured prominently throughout the episode, participating in the "When You're Smiling Medley" and later playing the usher in the courtroom scene.
The White Rabbit appeared as a background character in a few more 1980s appearances. In 1999, he portrayed the Easter Bunny in an episode of Donna's Day (again played by Whitmire).
The puppet was later recycled, with ears bent downward and sporting a new outfit and glasses, in the "Music of the Street" number in Sesame Street Episode 4081 (performed by Kevin Clash).
