Kang and Kodos once came to Earth and interrupted a roast of Homer Simpson.

Kang and Kodos agreed to spare the planet in exchange for being granted admission to other awards shows.[2]
Kang and Kodos once impersonated Bill Clinton and Bob Dole respectively in order to become elected President of the United States. When they were revealed to be aliens, they were still more popular than a third party.[3]
Kang and Kodos have both ruled over Springfield until they were found out to not be welcome and fled from their primitive weapons.[4]

Behind the Laughter
The idea of Kang and Kodos came from Jay Kogen and Wallace Wolodarsky.[5] Kang and Kodos' designs were based off a cover of an EC Comics issue.[6] They were originally designed to be constantly drooling, however Matt Groening decided against this to make the animation process easier. However, the animators didn't mind so the drooling stayed in.[7] The names of Kang and Kodos come from two Star Trek characters. Kang is named after a Klingon captain from the episode "Day of the Dove" and Kodos is named after Kodos the Executioner from the episode "The Conscience of the King".[6]
