Scooter is a character from The Muppet Show. He serves as a "gofer" backstage at the Muppet Theater, initially hired because his uncle, J.P. Grosse, owned the theater. Possessing glasses with eyes embedded in the lenses and generally wearing a green track jacket, Scooter is a vaguely humanoid character of unknown heritage (as cited in the book Of Muppets and Men, when pressed about his family, he explained that his mother was a parrot but he didn't know about his father). Although occasionally seen in production numbers, his primary role lay in the backstage plots.

Trivia
- Scooter was initially planned to play the Ghost of Christmas Present in The Muppet Christmas Carol, but after it was decided to have the Christmas Spirits be portrayed by specially-made Muppets, Scooter was ultimately one of the few regular Muppet characters who did not appear in the finished film. According to his Twitter feed, Scooter was distracted watching holiday movies offscreen and missed his cue.[1]
