Back during the height of his popularity on the Fox primetime hit “Beverly Hills, 90210,” Luke Perry made a guest appearance on another show on the network, “The Simpsons” — as Krusty the Clown’s “worthless half-brother.”
In the 1993 episode, “Krusty Gets Kancelled,” Bart and Lisa try to help Krusty after his show gets the ax — and reach out to some of his celebrity pals, including Bette Midler and Perry, to host a telethon to revive the clown’s career.
Appearing shirtless as “Sideshow Luke Perry,” the young star manages to upstage Krusty’s balloon animal with an elaborate “19th-century carousel.”
