Sideshow Raheem, also known as Raheem Banjoko (nee Russell Mason)[1] is Krusty the Klown's sidekick before Sideshow Bob, likely from the 1970s era. He is a devout follower of Islam[1]
Biography
Raheem graduated from Mission College, where he hosted his own radio show, Raheem's Nubian Sunrise Jammy Jam, which combined Black Pride with prank calls and vegan pie-throwing contests.
He was a black man that was first seen in Krusty the Klown's 29th Anniversary Show[2]. Krusty showed a slide of him. In the slide, Krusty says "Ah... the script says I have to bonk you with this" (holding a hammer); Raheem replies "I wouldn't." "Right on!" says Krusty. Then after the clip is over, Krusty describes him as an "Angry, angry young man."
He later makes brief appearances attending Krusty's "funeral"[3], and in the all-black church[4].
