Several recurring characters are spoofs for former or current celebrities: Arnie Pye: Ernie Pyle. Bumblebee Man: Roberto Gómez Bolaños (based on his Chapulin Colorado character), Drederick Tatum: Mike Tyson, Maria Quimby Maria Shriver, Mayor Quimby John F. Kennedy, Mrs. Quimby Jacqueline Kennedy, Judge Constance Harm: Judge Judy Sheindlin (Judge Judy,) Rainier Wolfcastle: Arnold Schwarzenegger. This is made obvious in season fourteen, episode nine, "The Strong Arms of the Ma", presumably because the motif of that episode is bodybuilding. An interesting note; in the series, the character Rainier Wolfcastle is based on Arnold Schwarzenegger, yet in the Simpsons Movie, the president is Arnold Schwarzenegger, dropping the guise of 'Ranier Wolfcastle'. That makes Arnold one of the only celebrities on the show to have a parody character AND their real life counterpart (even though Schwarzenegger didn't provide his voice to either).
