The King of Nice

Krusty, broke from "non-funny TV shows" (NFT) losses, is the children's entertainment at Kelly Clarkson's housewarming party in a gated community.

An exposé is shown on television that depicts the terrible working environment on the show, and Marge realizes how much she has changed.

Barrymore previously voiced Sophie Krustofsky in the twelfth season episode "Insane Clown Poppy."

[1] Marge Simpson, as voiced by Julie Kavner, appeared in a segment on The Drew Barrymore Show two days before the episode aired.

[3] The episode scored a 0.3 demo rating and was watched by 1.16 million viewers, which was the most-watched show on Fox that night.

[7] Kevin E G Perry of The Independent called the episode "a sharp, well-executed satire that also gives the show a chance to poke fun at itself."

He highlighted the self-referential joke of how Bart can watch hundreds of old episodes featuring Krusty on his tablet whenever he wants.
