Krusty The Clown
Herschel Shmoikel Pinchas Yerucham Krustofski, better known by the stage name Krusty the Clown, is a fictional character in the animated television series The Simpsons. He is the long-time clown host of Bart and Lisa's favourite TV show, a combination of kiddie variety television hijinks and cartoons including The Itchy and Scratchy Show. Krusty is often portrayed as a burnt out, addiction-riddled smoker who is made miserable by show business but continues on anyway. He has become one of the most common characters outside of the main Simpson family and has been the focus of several episodes, most of which include Bart. |
