Bernie is a blue rabbit who appeared in several first season episodes of The Muppet Show. He got his name in a scene with Hilda and Valerie Harper in episode 120, when he appeared in the Guest Star's Dressing Room as the new make-up man. When Bernie gave Valerie an egg, Hilda cracked that he was "The Easter Bernie." Unlike most animals on The Muppet Show, the Bernie puppet was created from a Whatnot head.
