Rabbi Hyman Krustofski is voiced by comedian Jackie Mason, who won an Emmy for his performance. Humorously, when Rabbi Krustofsky is at the restaurant, he does not like the Jackie Mason sandwich. In real life, Mason is a rabbi himself. His father, his grandfather, his great-grandfather and his great-great grandfather were rabbis [1], and Jackie defied his father's wishes (like Krusty) to become a comedian.

Plot Krusty the Clown has agreed to have dinner with Bart and his family, but keeps putting it off, much to Bart's disappointment. An upset Bart writes a letter to Krusty renouncing his fanhood, and Krusty's secretary is so moved that she tells Krusty she will quit her job if he does not keep his promise to Bart. With that in mind, Krusty finally comes to dinner at the Simpson house. When asked to say grace, he recites the Hebrew blessing over bread, HaMotzi. Realizing that Krusty is Jewish, Lisa reminds him of his heritage, making Krusty cry. He tells the family his real name, Herschel Krustofski, and of his upbringing on the Lower East Side of Springfield. “Hebrew†redirects here. ...

His father, Hyman Krustofski, was a rabbi dispensing Talmudic wisdom and car-buying tips to the neighborhood and strongly opposed to young Herschel's wish of becoming a clown and making people laugh, wanting the boy to go to yeshiva instead. As a result, Krusty performed slapstick comedy behind his father's back. He was performing at a rabbi's convention when one joking rabbi squirted seltzer on him, washing off his clown makeup. When Rabbi Krustofski found out, he disowned his son, and it has been 25 years since they have seen or spoken to each other.

In the weeks following this admission, Krusty's TV show begins to suffer, as he thinks more and more about his father. Bart and Lisa resolve to help reunite father and son, but the rabbi still refuses to accept Krusty's career choice. An attempt by the kids to reunite the Krustofskis at a deli fails when the rabbi leaves early after seeing a very non-kosher sandwich bearing his son's name on the menu. Bart calls into a religious talk-radio show that Rabbi Krustofski appears on, asking if a father should forgive his son for defying his wishes if the son is making millions of children happy, and the rabbi angrily answers in the negative. The circled U indicates that this can of tuna is certified kosher by the Union of Orthodox Congregations. ...
Lisa does research to find Judaic teachings that urge forgiveness, but Rabbi Krustofski has responses for each of them. Finally, Bart is able to convince the rabbi to reconcile with a quote by Sammy Davis, Jr., a Jewish entertainer just like Krusty. which finally convinces Rabbi Krustofsky of his stubbornness. A deeply depressed Krusty is glumly doing a live taping of his show, but when Rabbi Krustofski appears, they joyously hug and make up before the audience of children.

Continuity Krusty claims his first big laugh came when he was a boy at yeshiva school impersonating his father. He appears to be quoting from a book, "Blah, blah, blah Moses, blah, blah Elijah." However, Krusty is supposedly illiterate, according to both the episode "Krusty Gets Busted" and the first act of this episode, when he struggles to read Bart's letter. It is not explained how he could be a yeshiva student. Krusty Gets Busted is the 12th episode of the first season of The Simpsons. ...
Cultural references - The episode title is a play on the popular saying, "Like Father, Like Son".
- The episode is an homage to the film The Jazz Singer, about a son with a strict religious upbringing who defies his father to become an entertainer. Krusty's father references this when he tells his son "If you were a musician or a jazz singer, this I could forgive." His quote "I have no son" is also reminiscent.
- The Itchy and Scratchy episode entitled "Field of Screams" is a reference to "Field of Dreams".
- The scenes in which Krusty calls his father without saying anything is reminiscent of Robert De Niro in Raging Bull.
- In the deli, Rabbi Krustofski apparently dislikes the movies of Bruce Willis; seeing a sandwich named after him, he remarks "I don't even like his work!".
- Likewise, Rabbi Krustofski declines a sandwich named after Jackie Mason, his own voice actor.
- Krusty's secretary, Miss Pennycandy, is a reference to the James Bond secretary Miss Moneypenny.
- Bart and Lisa try to trick Rabbi Krustofski into meeting with Krusty by arranging a lunch date between him and Saul Bellow, the "Nobel Prize-winning Jewish novelist." In the original script, this was intended to be Isaac Bashevis Singer, who died on July 24, 1991, before the episode was completed.
