Moe's character was based partly on Tube Bar owner Louis "Red" Deutsch, who was made famous in the popular Tube Bar prank calls when he was repeatedly prank called by two Jersey City residents. These calls were the inspiration for Bart's repeated prank calls to Moe, and Deutch's often profane responses made Moe's violent side.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.hudsonreporter.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=15354520&BRD=1291&PAG=461&dept_id=523586&rfi=6|title=Joke on 'Simpsons' started in JC|accessdate=2007-10-26|date=[[2005-08-10]]|pulisher=The Hudson Reporter|author=Ricardo Kaulessar}}</ref> Further inspiration was drawn from comedian [[Rich Hall]], an acquaintance of ''The Simpsons'' writer [[George Meyer]].

Moe was the first voice [[Hank Azaria]] performed for the show, replacing [[Christopher Collins]] who had voiced the character in several previous episodes. At the time of his audition, Azaria was doing a play in which he had the part of a drug dealer, basing his voice on [[Al Pacino]] in ''[[Dog Day Afternoon]]''. He used the same voice in the audition, and was told by [[Matt Groening]] and [[Sam Simon]] to make it more gravelly, with it becoming the voice of Moe. Groening and Simon thought it was perfect and took Azaria over to the Fox recording studio. Before he had even seen a script, he recorded several lines of dialogue as Moe for the episode "[[Some Enchanted Evening]]".<ref name=freshair>{{cite interview|last=Azaria|first=Hank| interviewer = [[Terry Gross]]| title = Fresh Air| program = [[National Public Radio]]| callsign = [[WHYY]]| url = http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4679119| city = Philadelphia| date = 2004-12-06| accessdate = 2007-08-15}}</ref><ref name=barber>{{cite video|people=Azaria, Hank|year=2004|title=The Simpsons The Complete Fifth Season DVD commentary for the episode "[Homer's Barbershop Quartet]]"|medium=DVD||publisher=20th Century Fox}}</ref>.

In Video Games

In The Simpsons Road Rage, Moe is a character that you can unlock later in the game and drive him. In the brief video when you select his car you can see that he is smuggling a panda, which can be seen in an episode. You can also pick him up as a passenger while driving as another character. In the Entertainment District, (the second location), you start off right next to his bar.
