Simpson's Cast On Bravo This Sunday

droopus writes "So, what does Dan Castelleneta look like? (He's a kinda weasly looking bald guy.) See Dan, Hank, Harry, Yeardley, Julie, Nancy and the rest of the Simpsons cast this Sunday at 8PM (EST) on Inside the Actors Studio on Bravo. According to the website: "In anticipation of the landmark 300th episode of The Simpsons, James Lipton sat down with the series' accomplished ensemble to meet the actors behind the voices in order to discover how they have managed to create such a wealth of believable and beloved characters." I saw a quick preview, and seeing that thin, weasly bald guy go "Aggggggh, donut" was alsolutely hilarious. Watching Nancy Cartwright morph effortlessly from Bart, to Nelson, to Ralph is waaaaay cool. My TiVo is set for this one. One hitch: it's on at the same time as the usual new Sunday Simpsons episode, so Bravo has thoughtfully repeated the show at midnight so fans can record both."

    Thats right... put a show about the Simpsons on at the same time FOX is showing the real thing...

    I think his impersonation of James Lipton is much more entertaining than Lipton himself.

    ...that they don't have the current writers for the show on his program. That would turn into a lynching.

    That's who.

  6. Lisa / Yeardley Smith by green+pizza · · Score: 5, Funny

    Yeardley Smith (the voice of Lisa) is kinda cute in a geeky foreign way... I saw an interview of her a few years ago. Apparently more than a few guys have told her that it's their fantasy to make love to her while she screams the famous "More More More!" Lisa Simpson line.

    One halloween, a friend of mine got up green tube dress, white choker pearls and did her hair up like Marge. We went to a halloween party, and seriously I've never seen one girl get hit on so many times at a party. Nor have I heard so many attempted Homer-isms as pick up lines.

    Hello? Haven't any of you people seen the Tracey Ullman show? Nobody remembers Herman's Head?

    Excuse me, I'm just going to sit here and yell at the kids to get off my lawn now.

  13. Re:Surprised they are going to do the voices by raju1kabir · · Score: 3, Funny
    I remember reading somewhere a few years ago that in their contracts, it restricts them from doing the character voices in public or on something televised.

    Ages ago I worked for a pop-media magazine. I was friends with a reporter who did an interview with Dan Castellaneta, and at the end he persuaded him to do answering machine messages for a few of us on the tape he used for the interview.

    Sad thing is, it was almost impossible to get people to believe it was the real Homer! Everyone thought it was a passable fake but nevertheless obviously a fake.

    Anyway, that's public, isn't it?
