"Krusty Gets Cancelled" is a terrible episode for The Simpsons, in my opinion. While the premise for this one was interesting, with the overplayed media hype surrounding Gabbo being well satirised, it's ultimately an excuse to cram as many celebrity guest stars as possible, who all end up being shallow and forgettable. Seriously, not one of them is remarkable in this one. I also found it odd how they brought back Barry White for a cameo, who had made an appearance just two episodes ago. This episode doesn't even have solid humour to keep it afloat. It's all simple, watered-down pandering at its worst. I also noticed Marge didn't have a single line of dialogue in this one. According to IMDb, this is because her voice actress (Julie Kavner) sat out in protest over the overuse of celebrity guest stars. I highly respect that.
Overall, this is a surprisingly terrible and shallow finale for a good season.
