In "[[Bart to the Future]]", Arthur Crandall and Gabbo are seen once again, as part of an act for the Native American Casino. Gabbo, when not in use, is simply a dummy. This can imply that his remarks about the children being "S.O.B's" are Arthur Crandall's own, and that Crandall has dissociative identity disorder, expressing one personality through Gabbo.

History[edit]

Arthur Crandall was the ventriloquist behind Gabbo. When they began their own TV show, it was an instant hit among the children of Springfield. Krusty's show, by contrast, suffered declining ratings and was soon cancelled. Later, Gabbo was caught using foul language directed at children, and a scandal ensued.
