The Network Executives of Krustylu Studios are the people who are ultimately in charge of many shows, including The Krusty the Clown Show.
Background[]
Like most network executives in pop-culture, their ultimate goal is to try to steer the show into the direction of profitability. However, the network executives of Krustylu Studios cause a number of problems for The Krusty the Clown Show, as well as Krusty the Clown himself. This is usually done by impeding Krusty's creative control from making dramatic changes in an attempt to boost ratings and demographics, to frequent nitpicking in order to meet FCC regulations. This would become problematic, where the involvement of certain network executives would lead to the show being canceled entirely, much to the chagrin of Krusty and loyal fans such as Bart Simpson.

Krusty Gets Kancelled[]
A group of network executives who appear in a deleted scene of the episode, Krusty Gets Kancelled. Due to the popularity of The Gabbo Show, the Krusty the Clown Show falls behind in ratings. Krusty is soon informed by the network executives that his show has been cancelled and replaced by a hemorrhoid infomercial starring Claude Akins. When Krusty asks to play hemorrhoid sufferer number one, they reject his pitch, along with his pitch to play one of the "after guys", as they walk away.
