Though he could have gone a bit more gung-ho with the facepaint, it was still a top effort for the event, thrown by George Clooney’s tequila brand Casamigos.

Other famous folk in attendance included Seth MacFarlane, who turned up at Oscar the Grouch, Zach Braff as Maverick from Top Gun, and Sly Stallone as a cowboy.

Grammer has voiced Krusty the Klown’s devious sidekick Sideshow Bob, or Dr. Robert Underdunk Terwilliger. Jr, since 1990 in the episode ‘Krusty Gets Busted’ from the very first season (which was, interestingly, directed by Brad Bird).

Since the episode, Bob has been Bart’s murderous nemesis, attempting to kill him on various occasions, and with Grammer voicing him in classic episodes like ‘Black Widower’, ‘Cape Feare’ and ‘Sideshow Bob Roberts’.
