Many episodes of the FOX show The Simpsons feature parodies of celebrities. These are different from actual celebrity cameos since these people seem to have never actually appeared on The Simpsons in a cameo role and the references are often satirical in nature.

Parodied celebrities[]

  • Mark Russell - In "Mr. Lisa Goes to Washington" there is a parody of famous political musician, Mark Russell playing The Deficit Rag and The Trading Gap Shuffle.
