7 Unusual Demands Made By Guest Stars On Futurama

Despite debuting on TV screens across the world five years after the death of this former President, Futurama still managed to feature Richard Nixon on the show during the episode, A Head In The Polls, where he uses Bender's body as his own while his head has been preserved in a jar. Although it wasn't his own voice but rather the voice of Billy West, it still ruffled a few feathers at the Nixon family HQ.

In the show, Nixon is played as himself but with more of a nightmarish edge and his bold claims to be President of the Earth. With the villainous connotations surrounding this portrayal, the Richard Nixon Library got in contact with the show and requested that he no longer be involved as they did not like what the show was doing for his reputation.

A few years later, the Richard Nixon Library had done a full 180 and actually requested that the creators provide them with some materials so that they can be put on display during the “Nixon In Popular Culture” exhibition. A strange turnaround but at least everyone's happy now and the ex-president won't be rolling in his grave anymore.
