Episode
Voiced byMaurice LaMarche

Morbo and Linda co-anchor/co-host the news on channel √2, as well as Good Morning Earth. In addition, Morbo hosts Entertainment and Earth Invasion Tonite. Morbo is a violent alien who is good friends with Richard Nixon's head. He is obsessed with taking over earth and mentions it almost every time we see him. Apparently he is the scout of an impending alien invasion, although it is possible that his evil is just an act used by him to increase ratings. He always refers to himself in the third person.

In addition, his exposed torso is terrifying beyond imagination.

Additional Info

Trivia

  • Morbo's head is capable of inflating and deflating, suggesting that it may contain his lungs.
  • There is/was a Futurama animation cell available featuring Morbo's species invading Earth.
  • In several episodes Linda newscasts alone, according to commentaries this is because they leave him out of episodes that have a large focus on aliens.
