Page "Homie the Clown" Paragraph 5

The episode was written by John Swartzwelder and directed by David Silverman.

Swartzwelder came up with the idea and his script required very little rewriting.

The episode is one of Silverman's favorites and he was pleased to direct it, after enjoying Swartzwelder's script.

Silverman felt he himself " brought a lot to the party on one ," and although " people didn't like script at the read-through ," Silverman thought " the script was really funny, and I had an idea for the opening and presented it with a lot of circus music that inspired the music they used for it.

It was great fun.

" He used it, along with " Three Men and a Comic Book ", to help him when directing The Simpsons Movie.
