Cyranose de Bergerac

From Muppet Wiki

Cyranose de Bergerac, a poet with a foot-long nose, tries to help the Queen of France finish her poem in a "Monsterpiece Theater" segment on Sesame Street. Unfortunately, the word used to finish it is the word he's the most sensitive to: "nose." Hearing that word makes him go into a frenzy, swishing his nose back and forth like a sword.

After this segment aired, Cyranose appeared in a few episodes on Season 24, beginning with Episode 3010. He made a brief cameo in Elmo's World: Nose as seen in Episode 4143.

The character was inspired by Edmond Rostand's 1897 play Cyrano de Bergerac.
