 Mel joined the cast of ''{{Krusty show}}'' to replace Sideshow Bob, who was sent to prison for attempting to frame [[Krusty]] for armed robbery the previous month. It seems that Krusty unceremoniously replaced Bob with someone even stranger-looking than he was.
-Sideshow Mel uses a slide whistle to communicate on camera. When not in character, Mel speaks in a grandiose British/Shakespearean accent and owns poodles. His main accomplishment so far has been successfully removing [[Waylon Smithers, Jr.]] from suspicion of having shot [[Mr. Burns]].<ref>"[[Who Shot Mr. Burns?]]"</ref> Off-screen, Mel is generally very eloquent, educated, poetic and intelligent, with a beautiful singing voice-it is implied that, as with Sideshow Bob before him, his true talents are wasted on Krusty's show.
