== Charactah Account ==
Krusty the Clown is the most famous celebrity in Springfield, due to being the host of the city's favorite children's entertainment program, The Krusty the Klown Show.
Born Herschel Shmoikel Pinchas Yerucham Krustofsky, an Orthodox Jew, Krusty was estranged from his Rabbi father due to his wanting to be a clown instead of following in his father's footsteps.
Originally, Krusty is an optimistic fellow who just wanted to help people laugh, years in the ugly reality of showbusiness have left him grizzled, sarcastic, jaded and indifferent, striving only to make as much money as possible.

== Trivia ==
* Krusty the Clown was originally intended to be Homer Simpson to create a problem between Bart's love for Krusty, and his dad (who he doesn't look up to at all). This was later scrapped to keep Krusty as a frequent character to the series. This explains why Krusty and Homer bear a strong resemblance to each other.
** Additionally both are also voiced by the same person, Dan Castellaneta.
* Dan Castellaneta would again use Krusty's voice when he played villain Megavolt on the Disney cartoon series Darkwing Duck.
* Krusty stated that he weighs almost 200 pounds in "Pranks and Greens," but he also has 30 pounds of makeup on, and carries heavy weapons.
* In "Colonel Homer", when Krusty was throttling Sideshow Mel, he shouted, "I thought I told you to stay away from my sister!" Whether he was referring to Barbara Van Horne or someone else is never explained.
* A man who looked extremely like Krusty without makeup appeared in "Dead Putting Society". Although this might be him, the man appeared to be thinner than him; however he have been wearing a girdle.
* Apparently, Krusty refuses to acknowledge his Jewish heritage on the air, as evidenced when, during one of his episodes, he told off a chef guest star for mentioning that the recipe was his mother's matzoh brie.
* In "Today, I Am a Clown", Krusty purchases one of Santa's Little Helper's second litters of Greyhound Puppies.
* In "We Put the Spring in Springfield", Krusty was apparently good friends with Chief Clancy Wiggum, Principal Seymour Skinner, and Mayor Joe Quimby, as they are seen reminiscing about their very first visit to La Maison Derrière and Mayor Quimby commenting on the service.
* It is shown that Krusty got Mr. Teeny because his previous monkey assistant would often beat him up.
* Krusty once said that he can't swim, though in "Bart the Fink", he is shown swimming as he jumps from the boat.
* In "Krusty Gets Busted", it is revealed Krusty has a rival clown called Hobo Hank.
* In "Once Upon a Time in Springfield", Krusty mentioned that he had the operating table.
* Krusty is a Republican.
* In "Clown in the Dumps", the last thing Krusty ever heard his dad say was "eh".
* In "Mr. Spritz Goes to Washington", Krusty mentions that he owns a dog. However, it has yet to appear in any episode.
* While he is clearly shown to be a pervert when it comes to women, Krusty may have also been a Pedophile since it was mentioned in "Clown in the Dumps" that he had one appearance on "To Catch a Predator".
* Krusty is the featured character on the Season 11 DVD box set.
* Krusty makes a cameo in the Harvest Moon manga as a doll which was given as a gift to Claire by her mother.
* Krusty has said, "I just want to win something for once," when receiving a fake Grammy showing that he doesn't have any awards.
* Before opening Krusty Burger, Krusty promoted Worth-a-try Burger.
