The Muppets Tonight Writers are responsible for all of the scripted wackiness on Muppets Tonight. They are seen in episode 211.
There was a bit of confusion when Andie MacDowell suggested a sketch where she would play a "southern belle." The writers wrote her as a church bell and as a southern bellhop, among others. When they finally got it right, Kermit allowed them time to touch the monolith. Sal Minella was even surprised at the fact that a bunch of monkeys wrote for the show.
The three monkey puppets are designed after Quongo, a gorilla created for The Muppet Show.
One of the monkeys appeared in an episode of Elmo's World. They recently appeared with Sal Minella in the Virmup video for Bohemian Rhapsody, and were sighted in The Muppets.
