Meet Rich Hall [wiki], a comedian and writer who was the inspiration for Moe Szyslak, the barman from The Simpsons:
He said he has always thought the cartoon landlord - who is obsessed with Homer’s wife Marge - was rather like him.
"I suspected that Moe was based on me because I used to write with George Meyer back when he was one of the original writers on the show," he said. "Matt Groening was a fan of my stuff. Other people said: "You look and sound just like Moe".
"Then Matt confirmed it. It’s an honour, once you get over the shock of seeing yourself as a horrible, yellow caricature."
