About
 is one of the more notable stars of The Muppet Show and works as the main chef of the Muppets on the side. Hosting a cooking segment, he speaks in a bizarre "mock Swedish" tone as he tries to cook many different dishes, with the meals tending to end up in rather unexpected manners that ultimately cause problems for him as he handles them in generally violently comedic fashions.

The Swedish Chef was devised as a two-man Muppet; one puppeteer tending to perform the main body, while another uses their actual hands to make the strange dishes that the chef ends up cooking as part of his sketches.
