Dicky Tick has hosted several shows on Sesame Street, demonstrating opposites or directional concepts through glamorous lifestyle shows. His series have included "Lifestyles of the Big and Little" (First: Episode 2206) and "Dicky Tick's In, On and Under" (First: Episode 2360) (with a pink nose).
He closes his broadcasts with his catchphrase, "I'm Dicky Tick saying, 'Ciao, bambinos.'"
Tick is a spoof of Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous host Robin Leach.
A similar design would later be used for Haywood on the red carpet premiere of The Furchester Hotel.
