Remember when Harry Shearer said he was leaving The Simpsons? Well Fox just announced that his voice will back on the long running sitcom. So all of that hoopla was over nothing.
Personally, I think they should’ve hired the actor in the video above. No one would know the difference. If they can replace Elmo, they can replace anyone.
The show’s Executive Producer Al Jean Tweeted this comment about Shearer’s return, “I would like to clear up a misunderstanding. I have recently been told that during a period where Harry Shearer believed he had a five week free period from the Simpsons, I was unaware of this fact, and did in fact request material from him. If so, my bad. I am truly glad he is returning to the show.”
He makes millions of dollars and he wants 5 weeks off? Screw that. How many hard working Americans, who barely make money to feed their families, only get a week off? This guy who speaks into a microphone needs five weeks off. I say he needs to give some of that money charity. When was the last time you heard any of those Simpsons voices donating money? All you ever hear is about them wanting more, more, more. What do they need it for? Tell me that and maybe I will side with them. But for now, I once again say replace them and give the job to people who will work for less money and appreciate the opportunity. There are plenty of people who would die for the chance, so let them have it.
