'''Harvey Kneeslapper''' appeared on ''[[Sesame Street]]'' as a mad practical joker, always pulling pranks on others. Usually, his pranks involved either letters or numbers, which he would slap onto his victims (whom were often made from [[Fat Blue]] [[Anything Muppets]], one of which was a look-alike, and sound-alike, of [[Mr. Johnson]]). In most of his skits, he played his prank well on his victims but, on rare occasions, Harvey's pranks backfired on him, such as the time he filled up an entire closet and waited for somebody to open the door. Harvey's pranks mostly have backfired on him whenever he explains his prank to the audience.

Harvey Kneeslapper appeared on Sesame Street as a mad practical joker, always pulling pranks on others. Usually, his pranks involved either letters or numbers, which he would slap onto his victims (who were often made from Fat Blue Anything Muppets; one of these was a look-alike, and sound-alike, for Mr. Johnson). In most of his skits, his pranks succeeded, much to the annoyance of his dupes. However, on rare occasions, Harvey's pranks backfired on him. Such instances usually occurred in skits where he explained his prank in advance to the audience.

He once appeared in a Sesame Street News Flash sketch, where he made a prank call about somebody standing out in a snowstorm.

Eventually, his raucous laugh became too hard on Frank Oz's throat, and Harvey, who was always considered a one-joke character, was dropped from the show.[1] Even after Harvey stopped appearing in new segments, his existing segments continued to be used in new episodes up until Season 32.

Harvey later made a cameo appearance in a 2010 episode (performed by Matt Vogel), where he slaps a "7" on Wolfgang's beach ball. He also cameoed in the Letters CD-ROM game, pretending to be a shark in Ernie's tub.

News Flash: Man In Snowstorm
Episode 0750
Part 1: Kermit has received a phone call which tells him that there is someone who has been standing out in a terrible snow storm for a long time. Kermit asks everyone who passes by if they are that person, but everyone he asks has only been out in the snow for a short time. Kermit refuses to give up, however, and tells us to stay tuned.

Part 2: Kermit, now shivering a little, is still looking for the person who's been standing out in the snow for a long time. He even asks Farley, who has been out for only a short time. Still no success yet.
Part 3: Kermit is now buried up to his neck in snow, colder than ever. He calls the attention of passerby Harvey Kneeslapper, who tells Kermit that he is the one who made the call, which was a prank call. As it turns out, Kermit was the one standing out in the storm.
