But for the Simpsons, he would never have known about Walt Whitman’s Leaves of Grass, Howard Hughes’ Spruce Goose, or William Alton Carter’s Billy Beer; and that’s just scratching the surface. This episode celebrates the random factoids learned from the longest-running animated sitcom and highlights the real-life personalities some of its characters are partially modeled upon, such as Joe Quimby/Ted Kennedy, John Frink/Julius Kelp, Clancy Wiggum/Edward G. Robinson and many more. Woo-hoo!
