Character Information
|
Rabbi Hyman Krustofski (voiced by Jackie Mason and occasionally by Dan Castellaneta) is a character from The Simpsons and is the father of Krusty the Clown.
His first appearance was in "Like Father, Like Clown". Krusty, increasingly becoming depressed, starts to miss his long estranged father, who had abandoned him because Krusty wanted to become a Clown instead of a Rabbi. Bart and Lisa would notice this and do everything they could convince the Rabbi, but he proves to be a stubborn man. They try to beat him at his own game, and decide to quote Jewish scripture that suggests he reunited with his son, however he easily counters this with Christian scripture such as "Honour thy Father and Mother". Lisa, out of ideas, suggests using a Sammy Davis Jr. quote, which works and the Rabbi reunites with his son during the show.
His second major appearance would be "Today I Am a Clown" in which Krusty would decide to get a Bar Mitzvah and has to go to his father. The Rabbi says he never gave Krusty because he wouldn't take the ceremony seriously, which causes Krusty to become a devout Jew and thus refusing to work on Saturday. Homer is given a show during that time-slot and it is so popular that Krusty is cancelled. In a move of desperation, he decides to televise his Bar Mitzvah. It proves to be extremely successful, but disappoints the Rabbi. Krusty decides to have a real Bar Mitzvah in a real Shul, which pleases his father.
This would be the last appearance in which he was voiced by Jackie Mason. Jackie Mason voices the character in "Like Father, Like Clown" and "Today I Am a Clown". All other appearances are voiced by Dan Castellaneta.
Later appearances
