Episodes in which he has an actual role are in bold.Seelah's family came to the walled town of Solku as pilgrims fleeing the atrocities of distant Geb to the distant south. Note: Many of his appearances are brief, background roles. Despite this, the segments are commonly referred to as 'Arnie Pye in the Sky'. 'Arnie in the Sky' is a deliberate zigzag away from the more natural title 'Pye in the Sky,' a play on words with the expression 'pie in the sky'. He later gave up his seat as news anchor to Kent Brockman after he exposed a genuinely newsworthy report about Krusty the Clown selling tainted candy. Arnie Pye then stated he will make sure to restore Channel 6's credibility as a result of Brockman's firing, also citing that corporate taxes are too high. To add insult to injury for his long time rival, Arnie Pye also made sure to broadcast the last words of Brockman's last words and show footage of him being escorted out by security as well as point out his being disgraced. He later temporarily replaced Brockman again, this time as a result of Kent Brockman revealing he lied throughout his news career after someone blew the whistle on him about his claim of serving in Iraq on a late night show. (A similar gag was used in a previous episode with Bumblebee Man, who took over Brockman's desk and spoke perfect English as he delivered the news, right until the end.)

During his stint as News Anchor, he spoke in a deeper, smoother voice, but returned to his normal register when he got excited near the end of the report. Pye hated Brockman even more as a result, and was also present when Kent Brockman was fired from the station for suspected cocaine use.

However, his joy was short-lived when he learned that in addition to Kent Brockman being demoted, the entire station had to suffer a $10,000,000 dollar fine for Kent Brockman's 'shameful swear-nami', especially when the fine also cost their mascot, Newshound, laser eye surgery to fix his lazy eye. He briefly took some joy in usurping Kent Brockman as News Anchorman by drawing a 'Kent Stinks' graffiti on the Weather Map while Kent was broadcasting the weather. When Kent was demoted to a Weatherman and eventually fired, Arnie briefly became the new head anchor. Luckily, many Stonecutters were able to bypass the traffic jam due a secret tunnel under a nearby bridge. Īrnie Pye was also involved in a crash that saw his helicopter stuck on a major road, causing a traffic jam 'as far as this reporter (Arnie Pye) could see'. He shouted that the worst of all was the fact that Kent Brockman's voice would be the last one he would ever hear, and called him a 'pompous snow monkey'. Pye later crashed his helicopter again when he was flying too close to a tornado. However, he survived and has been seen in several episodes afterward. The incident was dismissed with a chuckle by the oblivious Brockman. Pye’s helicopter once crashed he managed 'Tell my wife I love-” before the live feed was lost. Arnie then proceeded to respond sarcastically to Kent when asked if the children in the vehicle Homer was driving were safe, claiming he can't see through metal. This hatred of Kent first became apparent when, during a newscast, Arnie tried to throw his shoe at Homer from his helicopter, leading Kent to tell him 'now's not the time' before Arnie lashed out at him.

He has an apparent dislike of anchorman Kent Brockman, with whom he often gets into arguments on the air, because Kent is a much bigger and luckier star.
