Character Information
|
Geraldo Rivera is an American attorney, journalist, author, reporter, and talk show host.
History
When Homer was in a mental hospital their phone had Rivera on speed dial.[1]
During the heyday of The Be Sharps, one song that Homer tried to write had the lyrics, "There was nothing in Al Capone's vault, but it wasn't Geraldo's fault".[2]

In Homer's dream, Bart watched The Tonight Show during one of Johnny Carson's Carnac the Magnificent sketches, where he reads what is written inside an envelope. Carnac said Geraldo Rivera, Madonna, and a diseased yak, then somebody in the audience started to laugh.[3]
In one of his Christmas origins stories, Grampa said that Rivera had discovered cookies in Al Capone's vault in 1987, after they had been banned since 1929.[4]
Behind the Laughter
Homer's songwriting lyric and the cookie discovery recounted by Grampa both refer to the television special The Mystery of Al Capone's Vaults (hosted by Rivera), where after a huge media buildup the vault was anticlimactically discovered to be empty except for dirt and debris.
