from 1963–65, harris co-starred in the sitcom "the bill dana show". he played mr. phillips, the pompous manager of a posh hotel who is constantly at odds with his bumbling bolivian bellhop, the bill dana character josé jiménez. (a similar formula was later used in john cleese's british hotel comedy "fawlty towers".) don adams rounded out the cast as an inept house detective, a character whose distinctive mannerisms and catchphrases would soon carry over into his maxwell smart role on "get smart". in similar fashion, several of harris's tropes from the series, such as "oh, the pain!", along with the character's mannerisms and delivery, became part of the dr. zachary smith character on "lost in space".

mr. noodle was played by broadway actor bill irwin, who had previously worked with sherman in short films for "sesame street". when he became unavailable, sherman asked her friend michael jeter to replace irwin as mr. noodle's brother mr. noodle. jeter was in the role beginning in 2000, until his death in 2003. kristin chenoweth played mr. noodle's sister ms. noodle, and sarah jones played mr. noodle's other sister miss noodle. as of january 2017, daveed diggs and comedian daniel koren, have played two more of mr. noodle's brothers. according to freudberg, "mr. noodle, who never speaks, is all about trial and error. when you throw him a hat, he acts like he's never seen one before. kids feel empowered watching him because they can do what he can't".
