“They are so eloquent, prolific and interesting in their vision of everything modern. It is an animated show and you think it is for children, but it is very intelligent,” he said. “I remember we just got off the Lollapalooza tour … and being on it was great. It was a lot of fun and again we were very honored to be included in that show,” added the musician.
It should be remembered that “Krusty Gets Kancelled” was the first episode to have a large number of known guest stars, which was sought after by the production after the success of “Homer at the Bat,” which featured several icons from Major League Baseball. , the American professional baseball league.
