The Wise Man appears in Telly's storybook The Man Who Couldn't Sleep, seen in the 1997 Sesame Street video Quiet Time. The Wise Man operates out of a booth (with a Lucy-esque "The Wise Man Is In" sign) and counsels a sleep-deprived man (played by Telly). The Wise Man's remedy for the problem (insomnia caused by wind and trees) is to get a cow. When that only adds to the noise, the Wise Man advises him to get a turkey. The Wise Man's third suggestion is to get a sheep. The man is justifiably frustrated, but the Wise Man suggests he get rid of all the animals. He does so and can sleep at last.

- Ash being Ash, he forgot the words and when he took the book, the Wise Man sensed something was "amiss". When Ash came back with the book the Wise Man questioned Ash, who admitted he had not finished the incantation. The Wise Man reveals that Ash has awoken the Army of the Dad who will siege the castle for the book and surely kill them all. Ash, frustrated, insists that he help up his end of the bargain and demands that they help him return home. The Wise Man's ultimate fate is unknown.

- Ash being Ash, he forgot the words and when he took the book, the Wise Man sensed something was "amiss". When Ash came back with the book the Wise Man questioned Ash, who admitted he had not finished the incantation. The Wise Man reveals that Ash has awoken the Army of the Dad who will siege the castle for the book and surely kill them all. Ash, frustrated, insists that he help up his end of the bargain and demands that they help him return home. The Wise Man is not seen during the battle; however he appears at the end, using the Necronomicon to create a liquid, a drop of which will allow a man to sleep for 100 years. The wise man gives Ash a satchel of this drink and warns him to only take six drops or he will oversleep. The Wise Man's ultimate fate is unknown.
