Morbo the Annihillator is one of the little known species of yellow-eyed aliens with gigantic heads, and works as a reporter in Los Angeles. He and Linda van Schoonhoven co-host several shows on Channel √2, most prominently, the news.

A violent alien and a good friend of Presiden Richard Nixon, he is also obsessed with taking over Earth, mentioning it very frequently. Apparently, he is the scout of an impending alien invasion, although it is possible that his evil is just an act used to increase ratings. Morbo always refers to himself in the third person, and his exposed torso is terrifying beyond imagination.

Trivia

  • Morbo has been known to sing karaoke. His skills appear rather sub-par, but no one seems to notice.
  • His name is on the Walk of Fame in Los Angeles.
  • His appearance is based on the aliens of the movie Invasion of the Saucer Men.
  • There is a Futurama animation cell available featuring the Morboians, his species, invading Earth.
  • In several episodes, Linda newscasts alone. According to commentaries, this is because the writers leave him out of episodes that have a large focus on aliens.
