From Wikipedia:

Sesame Street is localized for some different markets, where Guy Smiley is often renamed. In Portuguese, for example, he's Carlos Luz, a play on words with the name of Portuguese TV presenter Carlos Cruz. In The Netherlands, he is called Henk Glimlach, Glimlach meaning "Smile". In Germany he appears plainly as Robert.





Leave it to the Germans to remove any and all humor from the character.

from Wikipedia:

Guy Smiley was a character on Sesame Street (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sesame_Street) who was dubbed "Everybody's Favorite Game Show Host." This nattily attired character is easily excitable and is perpetually shouting, and resembles host Jim Perry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Perry_%28television%29). Apparently Guy Smiley is not his real name - in one Sesame Street (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sesame_Street) skit, he stated: "Well, my name's Guy Smiley, and they call me that because I changed it from Bernie Liederkrantz!"



Bernie Liederkrantz,...I'm shocked
