Cowabunga, dude! It’s Lisa and Bart Simpson IRL!

Yesterday was the 35th anniversary of The Simpsons’ debut on Fox, so the network threw them a party!

And if you are going to have a party for a show, you need to invite the actors! So they did, and we got a photo of Nancy Cartwright and Yeardley Smith, or as you know them as Bart and Lisa Simpson, together. And that makes me as happy as when I watch a new episode of their animated sitcom.

I wonder if they ever thought they would still be playing elementary students when they were in their 60s,

Pamela Hayden reveals why she retired from The Simpsons
November 24th, 2024 under The Simpsons. [ Comments: none ]

On Wednesday, the world was shocked to hear that someone from The Simpsons was retiring as a voice character after 35 years.

Pamela Hayden’s last episode as Milhouse, Jimbo Jones, Rod Flanders, Chief Wiggum’s wife Sarah, and Lisa’s friend Janey Powell airs today on Fox.

The big question is why she would give up such an amazing job; Variety spoke to her and found out why. “How many actors can say they’ve worked on a show for 35 years straight?” Hayden said. “That alone is amazing. But it was time for me to devote my time to other creative endeavors that I have, like filmmaking. It was a tough decision, but I feel like it was the right one.”

One of her debut works as a filmmaker hit the film festival circuit this year. Jailhouse to Milhouse tells her story about her tough upbringing, but it didn’t let it stop her from becoming the voice of so many iconic characters. She is also working on a musical that she is hoping will make its way to Broadway.

Until then, don’t be afraid to approach her because she loves her fans.

Even though she has moved on, her characters will not. The Simpsons will start casting her replacement soon.

Who knew voice actors could retire from The Simpsons?

I knew that the Pope and Supreme Court Justices could retire from their jobs for life. But I thought the only way you could leave The Simpsons was to die like the late actors Marcia Wallace, Jackie Mason, and Phil Hartman. But that is not the case.

Today, Fox announced that Pamela Hayden, who voices Milhouse Van Houten, is retiring from the series after 35 years.

“The time has come for me to hang up my microphone, but how do I say goodbye to The Simpsons?……not easily. It’s been an honor and a joy to have worked on such a funny, witty, and groundbreaking show, and to give voice to Milhouse (and Jimbo Jones, Rod Flanders, Janey, Malibu Stacy, and many others),” she said.

Her last appearance airs this Sunday, which is the annual Treehouse of Horror episode.

While she is no longer part of The Simpsons, her characters will live on. The producers will begin casting in the near future.

BTWF: Hank Azaria in Pretty Woman
October 24th, 2024 under Before They Were Famous, The Simpsons. [ Comments: none ]

Before Hank Azaria was Chief Wiggum on The Simpsons, he was a beat cop in Pretty Woman. He looks the same now as he did when he was 23 in that 1990 movie.

Watch that interview to see why his family was mad at him over that movie.

Who knew these Simpsons’ characters were Swifties?

Hank Azaria just became the Anti-Hero to Swifties by singing Taylor Swift’s song in several of the characters he voices on The Simpsons.

He starts it off with Moe and follows it up with Chief Wiggum, The Sea Captain, Professor Frink, Duffman, and finally, Comic Book Guy.

Do you agree with Comic Book Guy? Is this the “Worst cover ever?”

If you want to see the man of a thousand voices sing like this live, his band The EZ Streets has two dates coming up in NY and NJ next month.
