I used to have Dr Zaius as my ringtone. Love that bit 
"Oh no you don't! That trampoline is mine!"
They're killing off a character soon....
It's Krusty the Clown
Greatness...
Way to keep going, kill off one of the funnier characters.
I thought their hint was clearly
Side Show Bob
It's probably Homer, whatevs.
The hint was that someone was going to die in an episode called 'A Clown Down In The Dumps' and that the actor as won an emmy. Someone pointed out that it could be Krusty's dad as Jackie Mason won an emmy and would make more sense than killing off one of the better characters. Still it just shows how far the show has fallen to use cheap moves like this to boost ratings.
won an emmy for the Simpsons or just an Emmy winner? Thought Kelsey Grammer fits in both categories. Hank Azeria also is an Emmy winner and voices characters including Moe, Snake, Chief Wiggum, Apu, Comic Book Guy, etc etc
Emmy for the Simpsons. Sideshow Bob would be a good shout, a big character but not a regular like Krusty.
Azaria has won for the Simpson but not sure if any of his characters fit the "beloved" description. Though Moe, Apu, Carl , Chief Wiggum might.
Being on the air for so long, it does make sense that sometimes characters will have to die.
The name of the episode surely leads us to believe that the character who dies will be one that causes Krusty to be down in the dumps or that Krusty's career finally tanks, leading his overall downward spiral to spin out of control leading to his death. Sideshow Bob, doesn't seem to be a character that would cause Krusty any great emotional problems if he died, unless Sideshow Bob is the Clown in the episode title. Or if some other character dies in the episode but it has nothing to do with the main focus of the episodes and the writers are just fecking with us
The episodes name implies it has something to do with Krusty so it won't be one of Azaria's characters.

Which popular "Simpsons" characters have died in the past year? If you said Bleeding Gums Murphy and Dr. Marvin Monroe, you are wrong: they were never popular.
I really couldn't care less who dies at this point, I guess it'll put the character out of it's misery.
Edna krabapul?
They killed her off because the actress quit the show - Fox weren't paying her enough.
They milked it greatly. Rumoured death in the Simpsons at that time brought a lot of attention. I think I didn't even have internet then, and knew about it.
Wait a minute. Bart's teacher is named Krabapul? I've been calling her Crandall. Why didn't someone tell me? Oh, I've been making an idiot out of myself!
It's actually Krabappel.
Phil Hartman's untimely death robbed us of Lionel Hutz and Troy McClure. The Simpsons just never recovered from that
The biggest loss of them all.
