Appearances

• Zappa made an appearance on The Steve Allen Show in 1963. This appearance featured Frank demonstrating the wide scope of percussion by playing the spokes of a spinning bicycle wheel with drum sticks. Interestingly, he did not have a mustache at that time. When one sees the footage, he notably has a passing resemblance to shock-comedian Bob Saget.
• He made a cameo appearance in the 1968 film starring the Monkees, Head, with a talking cow. He also made a cameo appearance on an episode of the Monkees TV series entitled "The Monkees Blow Their Minds" (air date: 3/11/68). Here, he was shown "playing" a car by beating it into submission. This is done in a Monkees-style montage to the Zappa song "Mother People" after being interviewed by Monkee Michael Nesmith. Zappa agreed to appear on the show provided he could be Nesmith. Nesmith liked the idea, so long as he could be Zappa. The two wore cheap, exaggerated disguises and the interview was performed as if Mike was Frank and Frank was Mike.
• He appeared on Dick Cavett's interview show in the early 1970s with the Flo and Eddie version of the band, and other interview shows.
• He appeared on What's My Line? in 1971, during the show's syndicated run, as a mystery guest.
• Zappa was the host and musical guest of a season four episode of Saturday Night Live in October of 1978. His odd sense of humor and constant mugging to the camera has led Lorne Michaels to ban this episode, just like he banned the episodes hosted by Louise Lasser (from season one) and Milton Berle (also from season four). This, however, proved to be temporary as the Zappa episode has been rerun a few times on NBC. In the same show he portrayed Connie Conehead's date. He was also part of another skit, entitled "Night of Freak Mountain", in which Zappa met with a couple hippies who offered various drugs to him, which he declined, stating "I don't do drugs." The hippies regarded his statement in awe and surprise. As part of the musical performance of "The Slime" (on an earlier episode hosted by Candace Bergen), the transparent screen of a fake television monitor fills up with a slimy green goo.
• He played a drug dealer in the episode "Payback" of TV show Miami Vice.
• He played Attilla the Hunchback in Shelley Duvall's "Faerie Tale Theatre", in the episode titled "The Boy Who Left Home to Find Out About the Shivers" (1984)

• Zappa was the voice of the Pope in the 1992 Ren and Stimpy episode Powdered Toast Man.
• Music from his early albums with The Mothers Of Invention is used in the 1969 film Medium Cool.
• The television cartoon show Duckman featured the voice of Zappa's son Dweezil and Zappa's synclavier music.
• Zappa's music and cult status play an important role in Kenneth Lonergan's play, This is Our Youth.
• His song "Dirty Love" was used in the 1997 film The Ice Storm, and "Watermelon In Easter Hay" was used in the 2001 film Y tu mamá también.

In comic strips

Zappa's easily recognisable face and appearance have made him a popular character in several comic strips:

• He was referenced in several comics of French comic artist Gotlib where for instance Scout leader Hamster Jovial listens to 200 Motels. When he hears the track, "Penis Dimension"", he decides to measure his own penis.
• The Belgian cartoonist Kamagurka made a comic strip in the seventies starring Zappa. He once met Zappa after a concert and showed him a comic he drew about him, only with empty text balloons. Zappa then filled in the balloons.
• Zappa also appeared as an evil professor in the album, Het Beest Zonder Naam (The Beast Without A Name) (1985) in the Belgian comic series Nero by Marc Sleen. In another Nero album, De Zwarte Toren (The Black Tower) (1983) he appears as a robber who together with a gang threatens to attack Jan Spier, the strong french fries seller. And in the Nero album "Doe De Petoe" (1994) his face is seen against a wall in a music business center where one also recognises the faces of Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, Bob Dylan and Flemish charm singer, Eddy Wally.
