“Hey. Hey. I’m Kent Brockman, the clown, filling in for Krusty the Clown, who didn’t come in today. He is presumed dead or on vacation. Today’s top joke, it seems a local moron threw his clock out the window. We’ll tell you why, right after this.” – Kent Brockman
I always thought this scene was from the episode where Krusty is busted on tax fraud and he fakes his death (“Bart the Fink” from season seven).
“I guess we can’t afford pies right now. Well, throw something! *THWACK* AAH! Oh, that corner, it…”
Lol “dead or on vacation”. I don’t understand why they stopped writing such witty dialogue.
I guess Channel 6 doesn’t really consider Sideshow Mel to be “A-material” enough to host an absence show in Krusty’s place
Lol.
