Carter is Howard Tubman's elderly, doddering butler seen in "The Tubmans of Porksmith" and "Boarshead Revisited" sketches on Muppets Tonight. Carter also appeared in Muppets from Space, as a resident of the Muppet Boarding House.

The puppet was later recycled as Faversham, Miss Piggy's butler, in an appearance on Donna's Day.

An illustrated version of the character made a brief cameo in issue #4 of Muppet Snow White.
