Lois Pennycandy is the executive assistant to Krusty the Clown. She swayed Krusty into visiting Bart Simpson, the child who saved Krusty from jail time, and later reunited him with his estranged father the Rabbi Hyman Krustofski. She was at Krusty's side during the sideshow auditions where Robert Terwilliger became Krusty's new sideshow, and was at Krusty's "funeral" when Krusty was presumed dead after crashing his private jet into a cliff. In a phone conversation with Marge Simpson, 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. At a charity bachelor auction for the Springfield Fire Department, she combined her bid with four other women to share the same bachelor. The character made her most recent appearance in "G.I. (Annoyed Grunt)", dressing Krusty in anti-PETA fur clothes. Her only speaking role was in "Like Father, Like Clown" where she was voiced by Tress MacNeille.
