Benson is an American television sitcom which aired from 1979 to 1986 on ABC. The series was a spin-off from the soap opera parody Soap (the title character, portrayed by Robert Guillaume, had first appeared on the earlier series as the wise-cracking yet level-headed black butler for the highly dysfunctional Tate family).

In The Muppets, Veronica says that she will show reruns of Benson instead of the Muppets' telethon if Kermit can't find a celebrity host the show.
