Lois Pennycandy is the executive assistant to Krusty the Clown.
Biography
She swayed Krusty into visiting Bart,[1] who saved Krusty from jail time[2] and later reunited him with his estranged father, the Rabbi Hyman Krustofski.[1] She was at Krusty's side during the auditions where Robert Terwilliger became Krusty's new sideshow,[3] and was at Krusty's "funeral" when Krusty was presumed dead after crashing his private jet into a cliff.[4] In a phone conversation with Marge, Marge asked her, "How can [Krusty] hurt someone who loves him so?" Pennycandy replied, "Oh, Mrs. Simpson, I've wasted my womanhood asking that same question", while looking at a framed photo of Krusty the Clown.[1] At a charity bachelor auction for the Springfield Fire Department, she combined her bid with four other women to share the same bachelor.[5]
Behind the Laughter
Pennycandy's only speaking roles are in "Like Father, Like Clown" and "Krusty Gets Kancelled", and she is voiced by Pamela Hayden. She made her most recent episodic appearance in "G.I. (Annoyed Grunt)", dressing Krusty in an anti-PETA fur coat, per his request.[6]
She might be based on Miss Moneypenny from the James Bond movies. Both characters are secretaries attracted to their boss. Their last names are very similar, and also Pennycandy's first name may come from Moneypenny's first actress, Lois Maxwell.
