Trivia / The Simpsons S6 E15 "Homie the Clown"

• Creator's Favorite Episode: The episode is one of David Silverman's favorites and he was pleased to direct it, after enjoying John Swartzwelder's script.
• Development Gag: One of the earliest ideas Matt Groening had for The Simpsons was to have Homer moonlighting as Krusty (notice that the two characters have near-identical proportions, the same voice actor, and similar designs), the irony being that, while Bart was dismissive of his father, he idolized Krusty, unaware that he was his father. An episode about Homer becoming a Krusty doppelgänger is this concept coming full circle.
