Manny is a talent agent who appeared in a Sesame Street insert. Like most talent agents in the Muppet world, Manny is a true egalitarian, as his client roster includes a banana and a tiger, both seeking work. Upon finding an ad from the circus, who require something yellow with fur and black stripes, he sensibly dresses the banana to match the description, while the tiger tries to convince Marvin he's better suited. When another client requests a banana for a cereal commercial, the agent recommends the tiger, who faints.
