57 Simpsucation

Since The Simpsons debuted over three decades ago, Albort’s Jeopardy game has been embiggened exponentially. 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 trivial factoids learned from this longest-running animated sitcom and highlights the real-life personalities some of its characters are partially modeled upon, such as Mayor Quimby/Ted Kennedy, Professor Frink/Julius Kelp, Chief Wiggum/Edward G. Robinson and many more. Woo-hoo!
