Regarding the the text about Zenjiro below.
Zenjiro IS based on a real-life TV personality, but not on Sanma Akashiya. Zenjiro is based on Zenjiro. In the Japanese version he voice acts himself (thus much of the joke, which would be missed in a dub).
As for citation. It says so on his web page - in japanese - listed under "works"[1]. Or in the credits of the anime.

> Zenjiro (anime only)
> Voiced by: Sonny Strait (English)
> Zenjiro is the teacher in the TV program Child's Toy, which also stars Sana. Although Child's Toy is mentioned
> in the books, the teacher is a very different secondary character called Mr. Yonma. Zenjiro is hyper and loud,
> with large buck teeth; he is apparently based on a real-life TV personality[citation needed], most likely Sanma
> Akashiya. Both Mr. Yonma and Zenjiro are from Osaka, just like Sana's best friend Fuuka Matsui.
