Krusty The Clown (James Allen a.k.a Rusty Nails)
Herschel Shmoikel Pinchas Yerucham Krustofsky is better known to us as Krusty the Clown, the cynical, burnt-out, addiction-riddled smoking clown. To create this character cartoonist and show-creator Matt Groening was partially-inspired by a real-life clown Rusty Nails whom Groening watched as a child while growing up.
