In 2001, the Krusty the Klown Show faced competition with another show once again, this time with a quiz show called "Me Wantee!". Fed up with Network Executives attempting to get him to drastically change the content of the show, Krusty announces his retirement. The last episode of the show was a special Farewell episode. During the episode, [[Sideshow Bob]], who was released from prison days before, planned to kill Krusty in revenge over Krusty constantly mistreating Bob during his career. To kill Krusty, Bob brainwashed and hypnotized [[Bart Simpson]] into killing Krusty, and straps bombs on Bart which will detonate when Bart comes up to hug Krusty onstage after Krusty's speech to the audience. However, Krusty unexpectedly apologized to Bob onstage for mistreating Bob, causing Bob to do everything he can to stop Bart. [[Mr. Teeny]] ultimately saved Krusty by throwing Bart's bomb strap into a room full of network executives, killing them instead. The show's ratings rose once again due to Sideshow Bob's attempted murder (which Krusty enjoys due to the ratings that are brought to the show every time Bob attempts to kill him).<ref>[[Day of the Jackanapes]]</ref>

The Krusty the Clown Show, or the Krusty the Klown Show, is a popular children's variety show that airs in Channel 6 every afternoon at 4 PM, and is hosted by Krusty the Clown.

History

The Krusty the Klown Show began as early as 1957, and started off as a serious talk show. The show soon devolved into a children's entertainment show, and officially became one by 1978, which became extremely popular. The show involves slapstick humor, comedy skits starring members of the show, and occasional special guest stars.

At one point, the show was handed over to Sideshow Bob due to the fact that Krusty was convicted for attempted robbery, and the show was renamed the Sideshow Bob's Cavalcade of Whimsy, turning into an educational program for children. However, the show was handed back to Krusty after it was revealed that Sideshow Bob framed Krusty because Bob had enough of being the butt of Krusty's jokes.[1]

The show faced competition with a popular ventriloquist show, the Gabbo show, which caused the show to drop in ratings and was soon canceled. Siblings Bart and Lisa helped Krusty to air a comeback special, starring many celebrities including Luke Perry and the Red Hot Chilli Peppers. The show soon became popular again, while the Gabbo show fell from grace due to the doll accidentally swearing at the audience.[2]

The show was temporarily possessed by the IRS after Krusty was caught for tax fraud.[3]

Later, the show was criticized by the FCC for not being educational enough. In response, a children's news segment called "Kidz News" was created, with children being the news anchors. The segment gained popularity after Bart Simpson became an anchor for the segment and created an additional human interest segment called "Bart's People". The segment was later cancelled and replaced.[4]

In 2001, the Krusty the Klown Show faced competition with another show once again, this time with a quiz show called "Me Wantee!". Fed up with Network Executives attempting to get him to drastically change the content of the show, Krusty announces his retirement. The last episode of the show was a special Farewell episode. During the episode, Sideshow Bob, who was released from prison days before, planned to kill Krusty in revenge over Krusty constantly mistreating Bob during his career. To kill Krusty, Bob brainwashed and hypnotized Bart Simpson into killing Krusty, and straps bombs on Bart which will detonate when Bart comes up to hug Krusty onstage after Krusty's speech to the audience. However, Krusty unexpectedly apologized to Bob onstage for mistreating Bob, causing Bob to do everything he can to stop Bart. Mr. Teeny ultimately saved Krusty by throwing Bart's bomb strap into a room full of network executives, killing them instead. The show's ratings rose once again due to Sideshow Bob's attempted murder (which Krusty enjoys due to the ratings that are brought to the show every time Bob attempts to kill him).[5]
