Sting opened for Krusty briefly, until he fired him. In 1973, he performed a song of The Doors live in TV (Break on Through (To the Other Side)). He then got his own television show, The Krusty the Klown Show, which featured Krusty discussing current events with serious guests (an episode of the show dated February 6, 1961, featured AFL-CIO president George Meany and a discussion of the "labor crisis in America"). Krusty had his own slot machine on stage, but got addicted and chased out by the police. He was approached to do 1,000 shows at Murderosi's casino, Nero's Trough. In 1962, Krusty worked in Las Vegas briefly after running in to Murdering Mort "The Murderer" Murderosi.
He then got another chance on "Laugh-In", but got stuck behind the shutter doors, putting his career back another 22 years. However, he said the word "Pants" which got him banned from TV for 10 years.
His first TV appearance was in the 1950s on "The Milk of Magnesia Summer Cavalcade", pretending to be a Russian satellite (and in one of his shows Krusty declares that he was a spy). He never had a Bar Mitzvah.Īfter this, Krusty moved to Tupelo, Mississippi, where he worked as a street mime. However, when someone sprays water over his face, his identity is revealed, much to the dismay of his father, who disowns him. Wearing clown make-up to hide his appearance, he is well received by the crowd, making balloon sculptures of the Menorah and the Star of David. He received his comedy break though entertaining the Rabbis at the Talmudic conference. Despite his perseverance at comedy, he was top of his Yeshiva class.
His father continued to try and discourage his son, by taking away his props, such as his seltzer bottle. Hyman forbade his son from becoming a clown, but Herschel continued anyway, getting his first laughs at his Yeshiva impersonating his father. His father, respected Rabbi Hyman Krustofsky, came from a long line of rabbis, looking for his son to follow in his footsteps.
