Colonel Homer Simpson

A musician himself (remember the Be-Sharps?) Homer Simpson was the manager of up and coming country music singer, Lurleen Lumpkin who he discovered at the Beer 'N' Brawl. He finances a CD recording, and it gets local radio play. Afterward, he gets her booked on Ya-Hoo! (a knock-off of Hee Haw) and her career is about to take off, but Lurleen is in love with Colonel Homer, and for the benefit of his marriage, he sells her contract for a whopping $50.

Homer would later manage Johnny Rainbow, who competed against his daughter, Lisa (who he previously managed) in the Krusty the Klown Lil Starmaker Competition. Renaming himself "Colonel Cool," he would sabotage his client so his daughter could win.

Bruce Dickinson

Bruce Dickinson is so famous that he is “The” Bruce Dickinson (Christopher Walken) who commanded the room as soon as we walked into the recording studio where The Blue Oyster Cult was recording "Don't Fear the Reaper." For the record, when the real band recorded the song, there was no Bruce Dickinson who helped guide it, but in the world of Saturday Night Live, he was, and he needed "More Cowbell." Where would the BOC be without his sage advice?
