 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.

When he pleaded with Krusty to not force him to do it, Krusty simply shouted at him to "shut up and conduct!"
