Jimmy Durante, maybe?  
[/QUOTE]

Possibly. That’s who I thought it looked like, too. But Homer said he met them all. And Jimmy Durante died in 1980. So it isn’t conceivable Homer could have met him. Unless he met him when he was a child and I missed that episode. Or maybe I’m just trying to read too much into it.

Didn’t Durante turn up in an Abe-themed episode or was that just his lawyers? Damn memory. I don’t recall Homer having met him.

The blue-haired lawyer stopped Abe from doing an unlicensed Jimmy Durante impression (and also a Charlie Chaplin impression) during _Lady Bouvier’s Lover_. Durante himself didn’t show up.

I thought it did look like Abe dressed as Jimmy Durante. I don’t remember the episode, but thanks for satisfying my curiosity, **Marley23**.

I loved it when Marge was recreating the destroyed photographs, including one of the original “Tracey Ullman” Simpsons.
