   	There used to be many sketches with the giant ant, mostly in   
   the early years of the show.  In fact, I think his *first* appearance   
   may have been fifteen years ago this week since early on there was a   
   President's Day Ant, one of the new holiday characters (and carolers)   
   offered for the public.  As the President's Day Ant he did the laundry   
   of good little boys and girls.   
      
   	Also around 1994/95 he'd be used as Pasquale, who really and   
   urgently wanted to be a comedy writer.  He had a bit too ant-oriented   
   worldview to be usable, though.   
      
   	And since Late Night never throws out a costume, as the robot   
   montage shows, the Ant got in a good number of other appearances.
