The "Swedish Chef: Doughnuts" and part of the backstage plot involving Gags Beasley were included in "The Muppet Show Book", published by Harry N. Abrams, Inc in 1978, in which the sequences were entirely illustrated by Tudor Banus.
Fozzie's new writer, Gags Beasley, and his famous Babana Sketch are mentioned various times. In 1977, Muppet Show writer Jack Burns hosted Jack Burns/Santana (1977), in which he appeared in a sketch as a drunk, washed-up comedy writer named Gags Beasley who also claims to have written the Banana Sketch.
