“Welcome, welcome, welcome to an evening of exciting quarter mile action, action, action! Our first race is a benefit for daredevil Lance Murdock, Murdock, Murdock, who’s hospitalized with cirrhosis of the liver, liver, liver!” – Springfield Dragway Announcer
I love the irony. Lance Murdock survived breaking every bone in his body, and now he’s in the hospital for cirrhosis, of all things. Another joke I never really caught before.
Did Lance Murdock ever come back after this? Something tells me he died offscreen with no explanation, like Dr. Marvin Monroe. And considering that the real-world celebrity he’s based on, Evel Kneival, is dead, this isn’t a surprise.
He was in Viva Ned Flanders.
Oh, I forgot about that. But after that, he was never seen again, right?
Where’s his nacho hat? That novelty thing was hilarious.
