History[]
His first appearance was technically in "Kiss Kiss Bang Bangalore" where Homer pulls out a cardboard cutout of Mac Tonight and tells the family to do what Mac Tonight said after Bart tells Homer that the thermostat was actually painted on the wall and then uses a phone painted on the wall to call for someone to come over to look at the thermostat.
He physically appears in the episode "Fatzcarraldo" after the camera pans out after Clancy Wiggum and Lou walk away, he is seen in the night sky without a body and instead has arms attached to his head playing a trumpet playing the ending theme from the 1974 film Chinatown. Ralph Wiggum asks Clancy why the moon wears sunglasses, which he responds with "The same reason cops will, to be cool.".
He then appears with a body in Homer's dreams in "Burger Kings" as well as an introductory character after the intro. In the episode he convinces him to speak out against X-Cell-Ent Burger.
