'''[[Herschel]] Pinkus Yerucham Shmoikel Krustofsky''' ({{lang-he|הרשל פינחס ירוחם קרוסטופסקי}}, born c.[[1935]]), more commonly known as '''Krusty the Clown''', is a [[fictional character]] in the [[animated television series]] [[The Simpsons]], voiced by [[Dan Castellaneta]]. He is a world professional clown who is currently signed to Krustylu Studios clowning on its enterprise brand. Krusty is the long-time [[clown]] host of [[Bart Simpson|Bart]] and [[Lisa Simpson|Lisa]]'s favorite TV show, a combination of kiddie variety-television hijinks with a sidekick, and cartoons (including the [[Tom and Jerry (MGM)|Tom and Jerry]] parody ''[[The Itchy & Scratchy Show|Itchy and Scratchy]]''). One of Krusty's trademarks is changing the spelling of many words that begin with C to instead begin with K, as evidenced by the occasional spelling of his name, Krusty the Klown, and with such events as the unfortunately-named Krusty's Komedy Klassic show ([[Ku Klux Klan|KKK]]), performed at the [[Apollo Theater]].

'''Krusty the Clown''', or Herschel Krustofski (full name: Herschel Pinkes Remochel Krustofski), is voiced by Dan Castellaneta. Krusty is the long-time clown host of [[Bart Simpson| Bart]] and [[Lisa Simpson| Lisa]]'s favourite TV show. The TV show is a combination of kiddie variety-television hijinks with a sidekick, and cartoons (including the Tom and Jerry parody [[Itchy and Scratchy]]). His sidekick [[Sideshow Bob]], has been replaced by [[Sideshow Mel]]. Another sidekick was [[Sideshow Raheem]] who was an angry young man, but no evidence exists to show if Sideshow Bob was a replacement for Sideshow Raheem.The character of Krusty was partially inspired by real-life clown "Rusty Nails" whom Simpsons creator [[Matt Groening]] watched as a child while growing up in Portland, Oregon. Some of his biographical details echo those of comedian Jackie Mason, who voices Krusty's father, including being the son of an orthodox rabbi, and being temporarily banned from television due to a controversial performance.

The episode "[[Like Father, Like Clown]]" (based on the film The Jazz Singer), first released on October 24, 1991, expanded on his origin. According to it, he was born Herschel Schmoeckel Krustofsky and is of Jewish heritage. Krusty is a third generation American. In 1902, Krusty's grandfather [[Zed Krustofski]] left Imperial Russia for the United States and gained entry through Ellis Island. His son [[Hyman Krustofsky]] became an Orthodox rabbi and a leader of his community, whose wise counsel is continually sought. Rabbi Krustofsky, voiced by Jackie Mason, hoped that his son would follow in his footsteps (he brags that Herschel is on top of his Yeshiva class). However, Herschel wanted to become a clown because he wanted to make people laugh. Consequently, the Rabbi disowned him. Decades later, Krusty memorably reconciled with his father with the assistance of Bart and Lisa.

It was later revealed Krusty did not have a Bar Mitzvah ceremony, because Hyman feared he would violate the sanctity of the rites by "acting up." Krusty had two adult Bar Mitzvah ceremonies: a Hollywood gala, then a simple ceremony intended to reconnect with his father.

After leaving New York, Krusty started his 50-year show biz career as a street mime in Tupelo, Mississippi. He then appeared on a variety of Laugh-In style variety shows, but in the 1950s was banned from television for 10 years after saying "pants" on the air, which was not allowed at the time. In the 1960s he finally got his own television show, [[The Krusty the Klown Show]], which featured Krusty discussing current events with serious guests (an episode of the show dated February 6, 1961 featured AFL-CIO president George Meany and a discussion of the "labor crisis in America"). The interview format got increasingly wacky, and by the 1980s the show had devolved into a children's entertainment show.
−
There are inconsistencies in Simpsons episodes regarding the many references to Krusty's age, but in the episode "[[Day of the Jackanapes]]", Krusty announces the end of his entertainment career (again), which he says has lasted 61 years. He also revealed in one episode that he got where he was "by naming names in the [19]50's" (most likely a reference to [[McCarthyism]]). These years added to the approximate age at which he would have started would lead people to believe he is in his late seventies. This is one of several jokes throughout the long run of the series about the changing timeline.

Krusty quickly became a multi-millionaire – mostly by mass marketing his name and image to a variety of suspect products and services. In the Simpsons' world, there are everything from Krusty alarm clocks, to Krusty dolls, to Krusty eye wash, and Krusty Klown Kollege (which [[Homer Simpson| Homer]] attended), many of which are owned by Bart. The more dangerous ones include: the Krusty home pregnancy test, which "may cause birth defects"; Krusty's brand of bubble gum, which contains spider eggs (which they knew about) and hantavirus (which they didn't know about); and Krusty's brand of cereal, which in one episode has a boast on the box first for a jagged metal Krusty-O in each box, and then flesh-eating bacteria in each box. There is only one lawsuit to date regarding these products, the time that Bart ate a jagged metal Krusty-O and had to have his appendix removed. However, it was suggested at the end of the episode that he would sue Krusty again after he ingested the flesh-eating bacteria that was put into the cereal. At one time, he had his own brand of Pork Products. This might have lead to his almost fatal on-the-air heart attack. There is a list of Krusty related products at the end of this page. Krusty also operates his own television production company, Krustylu Productions (a pun on Lucille Ball and her husband Desi Arnaz's Desilu Productions).

His much-abused sidekick, Sideshow Bob, framed him for armed robbery – which resulted in Krusty's brief incarceration. In the interim, Bob ran the show, but was fired when he was identified as the real culprit.

The episode "[[Like Father, Like Clown]]" (based on the film ''[[The Jazz Singer (1927 film)|The Jazz Singer]]''), first released on [[October 24]], [[1991 in television|1991]], expanded on his origin. According to it, he was born Herschel Schmoeckel Krustofski and is of [[Jew]]ish heritage (an idea by [[Jay Kogen]] and [[Wallace Wolodarsky]] which had not been part of the original concept<ref name="NPR"/>).  
+
Krusty is a hard-living entertainment veteran who has been down and out several times (always being rescued by the Simpson children) and remains addicted to cigarettes and alcohol (and, in one episode, Percodan). He seems to suffer from bipolar disorder, and, in a Soupy Sales parody, asked children to send him spare lithium from their parent's medicine cabinets after the nuclear power plant cut off its perscription drug plan. In "The Heart-Broke Kid" he says that his tolerance levels are so high from years of excess he has to smoke ground-up moon rocks to get high.
  
−
His name ''Herschel Schmoikel Krustofski'' (הרשל שמויקל קרוסטופסקי) has changed since the episode "[[Today I Am a Clown]]". It is possible his full name is '''Herschel Schmoekel Pinkus Yerucham Krustofski'''.{{Fact|date=October 2007}} The spelling of the first and last name has been confirmed in "[[Bart the Fink]]".  
+
His show was canceled once after the debut of [[Gabbo]] the ventriloquist dummy, who was so popular Krusty was driven out of business. Bart managed to get the Gabbo show cancelled when he sneaked into the studio and switched on the camera during what was supposed to be a commercial break, revealing ventriloquist Arthur Crandall saying "All the children in [[Springfield]] are S.O.B.s" through Gabbo. A comeback special for Krusty was ultimately held (Parody of the Elvis comeback special), in which Krusty's many Hollywood friends bailed him out.

Krusty is a third generation American. In [[1902]], Krusty's grandfather Zev Krustofski left [[Imperial Russia]] for the [[United States]] and gained entry through [[Ellis Island]].<ref name="Grandfather">Episode 3F12, "[[Bart the Fink]]"</ref> As seen in [[Bart the Fink]], Krusty retained Zev's suitcase as a family heirloom.
+
In 1996, after an IRS bust for tax avoidance, which resulted in his bankruptcy, Krusty faked his death and lived briefly as sailor Rory B. Bellows. Krusty insured Bellows's life in his own name and then staged an accident to "kill" Bellows, collecting the money to rebuild his life.
  
−
Zev's son Hyman Krustofski became an [[Orthodox Judaism|Orthodox]] [[rabbi]] and a leader of his community, whose wise counsel (such as if it is right to buy a [[Chrysler]]) is continually sought. Rabbi Krustofski, voiced by [[Jackie Mason]], hoped that his son would follow in his footsteps (he brags that Herschel is at top of his [[yeshiva]] class). However, Herschel wanted to become a clown because he wanted to make people laugh. Consequently, the Rabbi disowned him. Decades later, Krusty memorably reconciled with his father with the assistance of Bart and Lisa.

He seems to retire from and then get back into showbiz repeatedly throughout his career. His last retirement was almost a permanent one because of recently-paroled Sideshow Bob's latest scheme – wiring plastique explosives to a hypnotized Bart and sending him up on stage. However, a last minute change of heart at Krusty's touching mention of him in a speech waylaid Bob's plan (as well as a last-minute rescue by Krusty's chain smoking chimp, Mr. Teeny).

It was later revealed Krusty did not have a [[Bar Mitzvah]] service, because Hyman feared he would violate the sanctity of the rites by "acting up." Krusty had two adult Bar Mitzvah ceremonies: a [[Hollywood]] gala, then a simple ceremony intended to reconnect with his father.

Krusty – minus his trademark clown-hair, pale "facepaint" and red nose – bears an uncanny physical resemblance to Homer Simpson. However, there also differences such as his cow-skull birthmark, his superfluous third nipple, and his small feet. Krusty, like Homer, apparently has faced heart problems in the past as he currently has an artificial rather than a natural cardiac pacemaker. The pacemaker has since permanently made his face white.

After leaving the Lower East Side of [[Springfield (The Simpsons)|Springfield]] (a reference to New York City's [[Lower East Side]], a famously Jewish neighborhood in the early 20th century), Krusty started his 50-year show biz career as a street [[Mime artist|mime]] in [[Tupelo, Mississippi|Tupelo]], [[Mississippi]]. He then appeared on a variety of ''[[Laugh-In]]'' style [[variety show]]s, but in the [[1950s]] was banned from television for 10 years after saying "pants" on the air, which was not allowed at the time. In the [[1960s]] he finally got his own television show, ''The Krusty the Klown Show'', which featured Krusty discussing current events with serious guests (an episode of the show dated [[February 6]], [[1961]] featured [[AFL-CIO]] president [[George Meany]] and a discussion of the "labor crisis in America"). The interview format began to increase in wackiness from that point on &mdash; while interviewing [[Robert Frost]], he dumped a load of snow on the poet. Much of this loss of prestige may have been due to Krusty's substance abuse problems: he was clearly stoned when [[Ravi Shankar]] played on the show less than a decade after Meany's appearance, and he once exclaimed "what was I on?" while watching a clip of himself howling a drugged-out version of [[The Doors]]' "Break on Through (to the Other Side)." By the [[1980s]] the show had devolved into a children's entertainment show.

==Recent history==
 +
It has been noted that Krusty was supposedly illiterate in "Krusty Gets Busted" (first released on April 29, 1990), where Sideshow Bob framed him for armed robbery. He has since been seen reading with varying ability (many fans have noted that in the episode "[[Lisa's First Word]]", he is shown reading a wire service article in 1983). Through his unnamed mother, Krusty is supposedly an older half-brother to actor Luke Perry. His only other known relatives are his father, his grandfather, and his illegitimate daughter Sophie, (voiced by actress Drew Barrymore. Introduced in the episode "[[Insane Clown Poppy]]" (first released on November 12, 2000), Sophie is the result of an affair between Krusty and a female soldier during the Gulf War. Sophie seeks out Krusty, although her mother has developed a bitter hatred of clowns and displays it with her choice of artwork (which depict violence being done to clowns).
  
−
Although he came back to Springfield to live and produce his show, Krusty was still a very prominent celebrity, making friends with stars ranging from [[Johnny Carson]] to [[Hugh Hefner]] to [[Bette Midler]] (with whom he owned a racehorse named "Krudler"), [[Alfred Hitchcock]], the [[Beatles]] and [[Elizabeth Taylor]], and being the half-brother of TV star [[Luke Perry]], much to his chagrin. He also had the displeasure of having [[Ray Jay Johnson]] as his co-host for a week.  
+
Krusty's profligate spending has resulted in encounters with the local Mafia, not to mention schemes such as running a clown college to turn out proxy Krustys to appear at birthday parties, and running a concentration camp-like summer camp called "[[Kamp Krusty]]". He willingly sells out to commercial interests to sell all manner of second-rate goods – he even has a generic spoken endorsement: "I heartily endorse this event or product!". His lack of care towards the quality of his merchandising is evidenced by the little attention he pays to the names of events he stars in: his Christmas show, "[[Krusty Kinda Kristmas]]"; his TV special, "[[Krusty Komedy Klassics]]"; and a tennis tournament he sponsored, the "Krusty Kharity Klassic" all use the unfortunate acrostic "KKK" (as in Ku Klux Klan). Unfortunately, the only instance of this he notices is the TV special, and that was only because the initials are shown behind him. In a hindsighted booking decision, Krusty was live at the Apollo Theater at the time.
  
−
Krusty quickly became a multi-millionaire, mostly by licensing his name and image to a variety of sub-standard products and services (many of which are owned by Bart). In the Simpsons' world, there are everything from Krusty alarm clocks, to his own brand of legal documents, to Krusty dolls, to Krusty eye wash and Krusty's Clown College, which [[Homer Simpson|Homer]] attended. The more dangerous ones include: the Krusty home pregnancy test, which "may cause birth defects"; Krusty's brand of [[bubble gum]], which contains spider eggs (which they knew about) and [[hantavirus]] (which they didn't know about); Krusty Kologne, which may cause "severe [[chemical burn]]s"; and Krusty's brand of cereal, which in one episode boasted a jagged metal Krusty-O in each box, at first, and then [[necrotizing fasciitis|flesh-eating bacteria]] in each box. One of many lawsuits regarding these products was launched by Bart, who ate a jagged metal Krusty-O and had to have his [[vermiform appendix|appendix]] removed. It was suggested at the end of the episode that he would sue Krusty again after he ingested the flesh-eating bacteria that was put into the cereal. Other lawsuits have resulted from defective products, such as a number of parents suing Krusty for one of his defective balloons exploding and taking out the eyes of "every kid in the room", Krusty's [[sexual harassment]] of any number of women, accusations that his theme park is a "death trap", and for illegally selling [[Tonya Harding]]'s honeymoon video. Krusty avoided further trouble over [[Kamp Krusty]] by personally taking the campers to the "happiest place on Earth" - [[Tijuana]].
+
In 2003, Krusty was elected to the United States House of Representatives as a Republican (though he once joked of voting for Bill Clinton in 1992 whilst campaigning for the GOP). A year later, he served on a House committee to investigate Ziffcorp – run by one [[Artie Ziff]] until he lost 98% of the company to Homer for corporate malfeasance. Apparently back in showbiz (despite having retired several times), he balances a political career with his local cable shenanigans.
  
−
The "Krusty Korporation", the company responsible for Krusty's licensing, has also launched a series of disastrous promotions and business ventures: Sponsoring the [[1984 Summer Olympics]] with a rigged promotion that backfired when the [[Soviet Union]] boycotted the games, causing Krusty to personally lose $44 million; building a series of Krusty Burger outlets on unmanned oil rigs, leading Krusty himself to observe "I'm taking a bath on this"; and recording "We're Sending Our Love Down the Well", a "[[We Are the World]]"-type charity song meant to raise funds for a little boy that was supposedly trapped down a well. When the boy being trapped down a well was exposed as one of Bart Simpson's pranks, the song instantly plunged from #1 down to #97 on the music charts. Given that Krusty mentioned that they would need to pay for "promotion, shipping and distribution", and the limos used to transport the celebrities that contributed to the recording, it stands to reason that Krusty lost a fortune in producing an album that suffered from miserably low sales. Krusty is also known to have recorded at least two albums of his own: ''Krustophenia'' (a play on the album [[Quadrophenia]] by [[The Who]]) and ''S'Wonderful, S'Marvellous, S'Krusty''. The degree of their commercial success is unknown, however he did mention that while ''Simpsons Christmas Boogie'' went platinum, "''Krustophenia'' [sat] on the shelf".

Krusty is a hard-living entertainment veteran who has been down and out several times (always being rescued by the Simpson children) and remains addicted to [[gambling]], [[cigarette]]s, [[alcoholic beverage|alcohol]], [[Bismuth subsalicylate|Pepto]], and [[Alprazolam|Xanax]] (and, in one [[episode]], [[Percodan]]). He instantly becomes depressed as soon as the cameras stop rolling. He seems to suffer from [[bipolar disorder]]; in a [[Soupy Sales]] parody, asked children to send him spare [[lithium]] from their parents' medicine cabinets after every employer in town cut off their prescription drug plans. In "[[The Heartbroke Kid]]" he says that his tolerance levels are so high from years of excess he has to smoke ground-up [[moon]] rocks just to feel normal.

Krusty's vices have affected American foreign policy. In the episode "[[Insane Clown Poppy]]", it was revealed that he (accidentally) prevented [[Saddam Hussein]]'s assassination by US forces during the Gulf War. After meeting a beautiful soldier during his USO tour, he sleeps with her ("Maybe it was the [[anthrax]] in the air," he said). Awaking the next morning, she panics because she is late for her mission and pushes off Krusty who wants her to stay. When he finds out she is planning on killing Saddam with a missile launcher, he tackles her and knocks the explosives off course. Saddam was a great source of his comedic material, he claims. Since then she's hated him despite them having a daughter, Sophie (voiced by [[Drew Barrymore]]). Her home is filled with a variety of artwork depicting clowns being killed.

Bellows'''. Krusty insured Bellows' life in his own name and then [[False insurance claims|staged an accident]] to "kill" Bellows, collecting the money to rebuild his life. Krusty otherwise wastes money almost as fast as he earns it: lighting his cigarettes with hundred-dollar bills, pearl necklaces and priceless copies of ''[[Action Comics]]''; eating [[condor]]-egg omelets; hiring [[Kenny G]] to play for him in his elevator; sending a thousand roses to [[Bea Arthur]]'s grave, even though she is still alive; buying clean houses to replace his dirty ones; settling plagiarism lawsuits with other comedians (see below); spending huge sums on pornographic magazines (which [[Apu]] says kept him in business his first year); losing a fortune gambling on everything from horse races to operas to betting against the [[Harlem Globetrotters]] ("I thought the [[Washington Generals|Generals]] were due!"); and buying a ruby-studded clown nose.

He seems to retire from and then get back into show biz repeatedly throughout his career. His last retirement (a parody of [[Johnny Carson]]'s final show) was almost permanent because of recently-paroled Sideshow Bob's latest scheme &ndash; wiring plastique explosives to a hypnotized Bart and sending him up on stage (a parody of ''[[The Manchurian Candidate (1962 film)|The Manchurian Candidate]]''). A last minute change of heart at Krusty's touching mention of him in a speech (as well as a last-minute rescue by Krusty's chain smoking chimp, Mr. Teeny) stopped Bob's plan. Bob and Krusty later reconciled, with Krusty exclaiming that Bob's attempts at Krusty's life make his ratings shoot through the roof.

Krusty &ndash; minus his trademark clown-hair, pale "facepaint" and red nose &ndash; bears an uncanny physical resemblance to Homer Simpson. There are some differences, such as his cow-skull birthmark, his pacemaker scar (real pacemakers usually are inserted through a small incision under the (usually left) clavicle (collarbone), not in the midline, as is Krusty's scar), his superfluous [[third nipple]], and his small feet. In addition, in the episode "[[Bart the Fink]]", he was seen apparently ''sans'' clown makeup, but while he was swimming, yellow face paint washed off to reveal his trademark clown features, indicating that the look is actually permanent. This reference to [[The Joker]] from ''[[Batman (comic book)|Batman]]'' would seem to confirm a remark that Krusty once made to [[Homer Simpson]], in the episode [[Homer's Triple Bypass]], in which he noted the aftereffects of his [[Myocardial infarction|heart attack]] and [[Artificial pacemaker|pacemaker]] implant by pointing to his face and saying, "This ain't make-up!" Krusty's physical similarity to Homer was discussed in an interview with Matt Groening, who explained that he wanted Krusty (who Bart idolizes) to demonstrate a close resemblance to Bart's own father (who he doesn't).

Krusty shares a number of parallels with certain real-life celebrities. His addiction to Percodan mirrors that of [[Jerry Lewis]]. Like Lewis, he also holds children's [[telethon]]s (raising funds for [[motion sickness]]), and easily believed that the French government would award him the [[Légion d'honneur|Legion of Honor]] (actually a trick invented by Bart and Lisa in an attempt to reconcile him with his estranged father). Krusty also shares [[Sean Penn]]'s tendency to punch members of the [[paparazzi]]. His third nipple seems to be based off of [[Francisco Scaramanga]], the fictional [[James Bond]] villain in ''[[The Man with the Golden Gun (film)|The Man with the Golden Gun]]''.

Krusty has endorsed many products and places that are named after him. Here is a partial list.
  
−
Krusty's show is patterned after the ''[[The Tonight Show|Tonight Show]]''s [[The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson|of Johnny Carson]] and [[Steve Allen (comedian)|Steve Allen]]; it has both the opening monologue and conversations with guests made famous by Carson and the madcap stunts popularized by Allen, even going so far as to directly plagiarize some of Allen's jokes. Krusty has mentioned how, like Carson, many other people have come after him in an attempt to become the number-one children's show in America, but that he buried them all, including "hobos, sea captains, [[Joey Bishop]]" (Bishop was one of many would-be usurpers to Carson's throne, all of whom Carson thwarted without difficulty) and "slaughtered" the [[Special Olympics]]. Krusty has been threatened with lawsuits by other entertainers, such as [[George Carlin]] and [[Steve Martin]], for stealing their material, which Krusty resolves with $10,000 payments to each.

To his credit, after his show was harshly criticized by educators and parents for its "mindless TV mayhem", Krusty responded by supporting child [[literacy]] through his show, encouraging children to read books (despite being unable to read himself). Some of Krusty's guests have included biologists who bring wild animals onto the show (including [[timberwolves]] and [[condors]]), and he even paused during one broadcast when he learned that the [[Falklands War]] had begun, stopping to give the viewers a brief overview of the disputed islands-something that Krusty later forgot when he used that particular 1980s episode as a rerun over a decade later.

In ''[[Simpsons Comics]]'' #113, Krusty is revealed to have four illegitimate sons who are all at the orphanage. These kids have yet to appear in an animated episode. However, in [[Marge vs. the Monorail]], a slight gag is derived from Krusty being confronted by a mother who claims that Krusty fathered an illegitimate child with her. In Simpsons Comics #41, Krusty has a Brand Fun Factory which will introduce the making of Krusty's products and the in-prison plot by [[Sideshow Bob]]. In #40, Krusty (like every celebrity in Springfield) owes [[Fat Tony]] money he swears he won't pay. Krusty gets the idea of filming at the Simpsons' house after seeing the family as his sidekicks in a hallucination after falling down the stairs.

Krusty the Clown, or Herschel Krustofski (full name: Herschel Pinkes Remochel Krustofski), is voiced by Dan Castellaneta. Krusty is the long-time clown host of Bart and Lisa's favourite TV show. The TV show is a combination of kiddie variety-television hijinks with a sidekick, and cartoons (including the Tom and Jerry parody Itchy and Scratchy). His sidekick Sideshow Bob, has been replaced by Sideshow Mel. Another sidekick was Sideshow Raheem who was an angry young man, but no evidence exists to show if Sideshow Bob was a replacement for Sideshow Raheem.The character of Krusty was partially inspired by real-life clown "Rusty Nails" whom Simpsons creator Matt Groening watched as a child while growing up in Portland, Oregon. Some of his biographical details echo those of comedian Jackie Mason, who voices Krusty's father, including being the son of an orthodox rabbi, and being temporarily banned from television due to a controversial performance.

Biography

The episode "Like Father, Like Clown" (based on the film The Jazz Singer), first released on October 24, 1991, expanded on his origin. According to it, he was born Herschel Schmoeckel Krustofsky and is of Jewish heritage. Krusty is a third generation American. In 1902, Krusty's grandfather Zed Krustofski left Imperial Russia for the United States and gained entry through Ellis Island. His son Hyman Krustofsky became an Orthodox rabbi and a leader of his community, whose wise counsel is continually sought. Rabbi Krustofsky, voiced by Jackie Mason, hoped that his son would follow in his footsteps (he brags that Herschel is on top of his Yeshiva class). However, Herschel wanted to become a clown because he wanted to make people laugh. Consequently, the Rabbi disowned him. Decades later, Krusty memorably reconciled with his father with the assistance of Bart and Lisa.

It was later revealed Krusty did not have a Bar Mitzvah ceremony, because Hyman feared he would violate the sanctity of the rites by "acting up." Krusty had two adult Bar Mitzvah ceremonies: a Hollywood gala, then a simple ceremony intended to reconnect with his father.

After leaving New York, Krusty started his 50-year show biz career as a street mime in Tupelo, Mississippi. He then appeared on a variety of Laugh-In style variety shows, but in the 1950s was banned from television for 10 years after saying "pants" on the air, which was not allowed at the time. In the 1960s he finally got his own television show, The Krusty the Klown Show, which featured Krusty discussing current events with serious guests (an episode of the show dated February 6, 1961 featured AFL-CIO president George Meany and a discussion of the "labor crisis in America"). The interview format got increasingly wacky, and by the 1980s the show had devolved into a children's entertainment show.

Krusty quickly became a multi-millionaire – mostly by mass marketing his name and image to a variety of suspect products and services. In the Simpsons' world, there are everything from Krusty alarm clocks, to Krusty dolls, to Krusty eye wash, and Krusty Klown Kollege (which Homer attended), many of which are owned by Bart. The more dangerous ones include: the Krusty home pregnancy test, which "may cause birth defects"; Krusty's brand of bubble gum, which contains spider eggs (which they knew about) and hantavirus (which they didn't know about); and Krusty's brand of cereal, which in one episode has a boast on the box first for a jagged metal Krusty-O in each box, and then flesh-eating bacteria in each box. There is only one lawsuit to date regarding these products, the time that Bart ate a jagged metal Krusty-O and had to have his appendix removed. However, it was suggested at the end of the episode that he would sue Krusty again after he ingested the flesh-eating bacteria that was put into the cereal. At one time, he had his own brand of Pork Products. This might have lead to his almost fatal on-the-air heart attack. There is a list of Krusty related products at the end of this page. Krusty also operates his own television production company, Krustylu Productions (a pun on Lucille Ball and her husband Desi Arnaz's Desilu Productions).

His much-abused sidekick, Sideshow Bob, framed him for armed robbery – which resulted in Krusty's brief incarceration. In the interim, Bob ran the show, but was fired when he was identified as the real culprit.

Krusty is a hard-living entertainment veteran who has been down and out several times (always being rescued by the Simpson children) and remains addicted to cigarettes and alcohol (and, in one episode, Percodan). He seems to suffer from bipolar disorder, and, in a Soupy Sales parody, asked children to send him spare lithium from their parent's medicine cabinets after the nuclear power plant cut off its perscription drug plan. In "The Heart-Broke Kid" he says that his tolerance levels are so high from years of excess he has to smoke ground-up moon rocks to get high.

His show was canceled once after the debut of Gabbo the ventriloquist dummy, who was so popular Krusty was driven out of business. Bart managed to get the Gabbo show cancelled when he sneaked into the studio and switched on the camera during what was supposed to be a commercial break, revealing ventriloquist Arthur Crandall saying "All the children in Springfield are S.O.B.s" through Gabbo. A comeback special for Krusty was ultimately held (Parody of the Elvis comeback special), in which Krusty's many Hollywood friends bailed him out.

In 1996, after an IRS bust for tax avoidance, which resulted in his bankruptcy, Krusty faked his death and lived briefly as sailor Rory B. Bellows. Krusty insured Bellows's life in his own name and then staged an accident to "kill" Bellows, collecting the money to rebuild his life.

He seems to retire from and then get back into showbiz repeatedly throughout his career. His last retirement was almost a permanent one because of recently-paroled Sideshow Bob's latest scheme – wiring plastique explosives to a hypnotized Bart and sending him up on stage. However, a last minute change of heart at Krusty's touching mention of him in a speech waylaid Bob's plan (as well as a last-minute rescue by Krusty's chain smoking chimp, Mr. Teeny).

Krusty – minus his trademark clown-hair, pale "facepaint" and red nose – bears an uncanny physical resemblance to Homer Simpson. However, there also differences such as his cow-skull birthmark, his superfluous third nipple, and his small feet. Krusty, like Homer, apparently has faced heart problems in the past as he currently has an artificial rather than a natural cardiac pacemaker. The pacemaker has since permanently made his face white.

Recent history

It has been noted that Krusty was supposedly illiterate in "Krusty Gets Busted" (first released on April 29, 1990), where Sideshow Bob framed him for armed robbery. He has since been seen reading with varying ability (many fans have noted that in the episode "Lisa's First Word", he is shown reading a wire service article in 1983). Through his unnamed mother, Krusty is supposedly an older half-brother to actor Luke Perry. His only other known relatives are his father, his grandfather, and his illegitimate daughter Sophie, (voiced by actress Drew Barrymore. Introduced in the episode "Insane Clown Poppy" (first released on November 12, 2000), Sophie is the result of an affair between Krusty and a female soldier during the Gulf War. Sophie seeks out Krusty, although her mother has developed a bitter hatred of clowns and displays it with her choice of artwork (which depict violence being done to clowns).

Krusty's profligate spending has resulted in encounters with the local Mafia, not to mention schemes such as running a clown college to turn out proxy Krustys to appear at birthday parties, and running a concentration camp-like summer camp called "Kamp Krusty". He willingly sells out to commercial interests to sell all manner of second-rate goods – he even has a generic spoken endorsement: "I heartily endorse this event or product!". His lack of care towards the quality of his merchandising is evidenced by the little attention he pays to the names of events he stars in: his Christmas show, "Krusty Kinda Kristmas"; his TV special, "Krusty Komedy Klassics"; and a tennis tournament he sponsored, the "Krusty Kharity Klassic" all use the unfortunate acrostic "KKK" (as in Ku Klux Klan). Unfortunately, the only instance of this he notices is the TV special, and that was only because the initials are shown behind him. In a hindsighted booking decision, Krusty was live at the Apollo Theater at the time.

In 2003, Krusty was elected to the United States House of Representatives as a Republican (though he once joked of voting for Bill Clinton in 1992 whilst campaigning for the GOP). A year later, he served on a House committee to investigate Ziffcorp – run by one Artie Ziff until he lost 98% of the company to Homer for corporate malfeasance. Apparently back in showbiz (despite having retired several times), he balances a political career with his local cable shenanigans.

Quotes

During a marathon TV performance "Now kids, let's go and see Sideshow Mel for some more of his legal, over the counter wake-up drugs!"

BART: The Krusty I know didn't get where he is today by giving up! KRUSTY: No, I got where I am today by naming names in the '50s.

During an 'adult' stand-up performance "Let's talk about herpes! Herpes, boberpies, banana-fanna-fo-ferbes, herpes!"

"Uh...I could pull a better cartoon out of my a-- ah he he he he. Hey! Wow! Wasn't that great kids!"

"The fercockta doors are stuck! Don't just stare, Arte, help me!" (Krusty's ill-fated appearance on Laugh-In forty years ago)

"The Academy hates me. Don't know why. Bunch of old know-nothing dinosaurs wouldn't know talent if it bit them in the..." (does his trademark laugh).

KRUSTY: "Ohh, sex chat!" (Dials the number, and is connected with four other guys who dialed the number at about the same time.) APU: "Hello?" KRUSTY: "Hello?" APU: "Are you a beautiful woman?" KRUSTY: "Do I sound like a beautiful woman?" APU: "This is not as hot a party as I had anticipated."

MRS. FLANDERS: "We're not talking about love, we're talking about S-E-X in front of the C-H-I-L-D-R-E-N!" KRUSTY: "Sex Cauldron? I thought they closed that place down!"
