The headless body of Agnew, formally known as Spiro Agnew, was the Vice President during Richard Nixon's U.S. presidency, as well as the Vice President during his Earth presidency. Unlike his U.S. vice presidency, Agnew died while Earth Vice President.

Nixon traded off Agnew to Wernstrom as a payment for the destruction of the robot party on the Galapagos Islands. However, as Wernstrom failed, he remained the Vice President.

Agnew's fate was sealed during a game of miniature golf at Leo Wong's Wongminster, when the eco-feminist protest group, the Feministas, disrupted the play and accidentally killed Agnew with a run away golf cart.

Despite the fact that Agnew is headless, he is still capable of making growling noises.

Production

According to the commentary of "Crimes of the Hot", the idea for the character was from Eric Kaplan.

Trivia
