Sir Herschel Shmoikel Pinchas Yerucham Krustofsky, also once known under the alias of Rory B. Bellows, better known by his stage name Krusty the Clown (sometines spelled as: Krusty the Klown), is the cynical, burnt-out, addiction-riddled smoking clown host of Bart, Lisa, and Maggie's favorite TV show The Krusty the Clown Show. He is a recurring character in The Simpsons and has a supporting role in The Simpsons Movie. Krusty has Jewish parents and lived with his father in the Jewish community. As a rabbi, his father heavily criticized his son's career choice as a comedian. Keeping his entertainment lifestyle a secret, Krusty continued his role as a comedian until the day when his father came to one of his shows and a rowdy rabbi sprayed the makeup off his face. After this event, his father stopped talking to him, and they didn't make contact until many years later with Bart and Lisa Simpson. Although ethnically Jewish, he generally doesn't want to stress this heritage, to the extent that he prohibits any references to his Jewish background on his show. (Source: Fandom.com, CC BY-SA)
