Creation
he has no cat 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.[1] Further inspiration was drawn from comedian Rich Hall, an acquaintance of The Simpsons writer George Meyer. Hall considered being the basis for Moe "an honour."[2] Moe's surname "Szyslak" was revealed in "Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part One)", the writers found the name in a phonebook and gave it to Moe so that he would have the initials M.S., and hence could be a suspect in the Burns shooting.[3] He was designed by Dan Haskett.[4]
Moe was the first voice Hank Azaria performed for the show, repl
Real name
In Flaming Moe's, his hired waitress Collette calls him "Morris". Yet, in The Springfield Connection, Homer discretely hints that Moe's official name is "Momar" and Moe cringes with humiliation. It can be suggested that Momar is his real name and he just simply told Collette to call him Morris, because he figured she'd think it was a stupid name or he was being arrogant.
