0:51
favorite most most popular characters all the way to to the background characters the weird wonderful
0:57
background characters um what's maybe uh the the weirdest or most obscure kind of
1:03
deep cut character that you really love doing well your intro I forgot I forgot that I did Jesus Christ and Hitler that
1:11
really that should go on my resume you can't get more rangy than that you know
1:16
uh yeah I think the tall guy there's a character called the tall guy the tall
1:22
guy yeah he talks like this that might be they they bring him back
1:28
every once in a while just cuz I think they can't believe they wrote it the tall guy had one fan here tonight
1:35
one guy clap for tall guy thanks for remembering the tall guy and it was a shortcut that's weird um some of my I
1:43
went through all don't ever claim I don't do my research i went through all
1:49
150 of your characters on Simpsons media here's a few of my favorite deep cuts
1:54
disco Shrew Disco Stew's Animal Walter Eco from Treehouse of Horror no
1:59
recollection of that in case you didn't know Disco Stew's full name anybody steuart Disco that is
2:08
his name god give a name no recollection of that senor Spielbergio which is
2:13
probably the character I referenced the most in my life senor Spielbergio who is that senor Spilbergio he made it
2:21
was in the film festival episode he made He was He was Steven Spielberg's kind of
2:27
Hispanic alter ego see cuz we don't I mean I've been doing
2:32
this so long that I I've forgotten a lot of things anyway but we don't memorize these cuz we don't have to i'm just
2:40
reading them so they really fly out of my head i mean we've done over 800 episodes so I have genuinely no
2:46
recollection so that's what we're here for uh you also did Mr sparkle which I had no idea i was
2:53
thrilled and then I There's a long story there's a weird story why I remember that character tell us because a a girl
3:00
I dated uh in New York a long time ago her dog was named Mr sparkle
3:05
and she used to get um she enjoyed a beverage uh to the point where often uh
3:13
she was too passed out to bring the dog out so I would have to be walking Mr sparkle through the streets of Queens
3:20
because she was incapable of it and that's the reason I remember playing Mr sparkle as a dog
3:26
speaking of dogs you also at one point you were one of uh three people alongside Dan uh who provided the voice
3:32
for Santa's little helper at one point or I should say the the sound effects the noises don't remember that either
3:38
okay all right uh and then I think my favorite uh Ralph's science project robot chums hu which stands for
3:46
childlike humanoid urban hacha do you remember that one
3:53
it probably sounded like this though nailed it nailed it yeah um you and
3:58
you've also done the voices for you know obviously it's a it's a real claim to fame for a celebrity to come on the
4:05
Simpsons and do their own voice but not every celebrity that's appeared on the Simpsons has been the real celebrity's
4:12
voice you have provided voices for a lot of celebrities have you ever had a weird interaction with with the celebrity that
4:18
you did their voice on the Simpsons um yeah that you can tell us yeah yeah
4:26
it's uh that's the hard part um well yeah this is a good one so we
4:32
had I get really um I I love seeing movie stars i still that's not lost on
4:39
me i still get excited but I really freak out um seeing athletes and rock
4:44
stars um and so we had a lot of rock stars on the show we had Mick and Keith
4:51
from the Stones and um Excuse me i'm still I just had lunch and
4:56
I'm kind of I'm a little little burpy i'm sorry um so uh they're very nerdy at
5:03
the Simpsons which probably is a shock uh the writers are very um writerly and
5:08
they often will send me to be those sort of a liaison when talent comes because
5:14
they're sort of too shy and embarrassed so we're recording with um MC Jagger on
5:19
a Saturday and I'm waiting you know for his car to come and he comes and he gets
5:25
out of the car and I say "Hey Mick we're really excited to have you here i'm
5:30
hanger i'm with the show." And he blows right past me and he goes "Yeah great
5:35
we'll get it we'll get it." And um and he and I realized this is now really awkward because I have to now go
5:41
upstairs and record with him i was recording all with him and so it's it's
5:46
going to be weird cuz I think he just thought I was like the production assistant really so I didn't know what
5:52
to do so in a panic I just imitated him and I went oh no M I don't think we'll
5:57
get it i'm just happy you'll get them to be like are you out of your
6:03
mind i was like I'm sorry I'm going to be recording with you let me just show you uh where to go so that's one level
6:09
for your amazing interaction so it's great like when I'm panning I
6:15
tend to imitate that's what I go to michael Jackson um he did record with us
6:21
as well very in the early days of the show and um here was a crazy thing it's
6:29
the only table read you know before we record we we read them around a table at first thus the name table read so that
6:36
the writers can hear it and they rewrite based on how that went and it's the only
6:41
for some reason we it's the only table read we ever did away from Fox we we went to Michael Jackson's manager's
6:48
house Sandy Gallen's house this beautiful mansion up in the Hollywood Hills and Michael was there and you know
6:55
remember he sings that little song to Lisa if you're show Lisa it's your birthday happy birthday Lisa uh he wrote
7:02
that song but he didn't sing it there was this young white kid who was a sound
7:08
alike of Michael singing and he sang the song and none of us could get up the
7:13
nerve to ask why aren't you having some white kids who sounds exactly like you
7:20
singing it he also I was record again they kind of put me like I was recording right next to Michael and he was he he
7:28
said to me he leaned over before we started recording he said "So how do we do
7:34
this?" Like "Oh it's easy you know just just say your dialogue and it'll probably be weird at first but we do a
7:40
bunch of takes." And most movie stars and rock stars when they come they're very nervous at first because they think
7:47
like they don't know how to they think they have to do something special for recording animation then within like two
7:52
takes they realize it's the easiest job in the world but yeah so there was a couple
7:58
little stories it's it's funny too because the mythology of that is that you know the urban legend is that
8:04
Michael Jackson owned the rights to the actual birthday song and that's why
8:09
restaurants can't sing the actual classic happy birthday song they have to sing their own version of the happy
8:16
birthday song oh I didn't know that could be true yeah that could be true we'll just say it's true um uh and this
8:22
is kind of a crossover question you were amazing in Heat one of my all-time favorite films you had you you know you
8:30
you had some intense scenes you got full Pacino as we'll say i had some scenes
8:35
where Yeah did So I heard that you based your voice the voice of Mo on Pacino is
8:44
that true well yes but I was a big fan of young old sounds like this
8:54
great young Alpuccino godfather is higher pitched you know I'm
9:02
dying here everybody's coming down on me here that was so I was doing a play in
9:08
Los Angeles i'm 23 uh using the Alpuccino voice i'm playing a drug deal
9:14
and I auditioned for Mo the bartender on the Simpsons and I did this voice and
9:20
they said "Can you make it gravity?" Now I also do a Bruce Springsteen
9:25
impression which I've done since I was a teenager both of these are heroes of mine so if you take Aluccino on one end
9:35
and Bruce Springsteen on the other right in the middle there's
9:42
motivation that's true that's funny yeah you got a mix of voices up in a
9:48
laboratory and and you also taken a lot of inspiration from just people in your
9:54
life have you had any kind of Yeah you'll be a voice of the show next week
9:59
i literally will retire if that's true uh have you have you had any friends or
10:05
family say "I was watching the Simpsons and that your that voice sounded particularly familiar."
10:12
No but Comic Book Guys based on the kid I get next door to your freshman year at
10:17
Couch University oh a snake is a dude also
10:23
from college he would take drugs and um would knock
10:30
on my uh dorm room door and tell me how the drug experience
10:36
was going he would say "Hey Cliff how you doing?" He go "Yo um I just dropped some
10:43
acid and sounds like I'm seeing colors like I'm totally totally seeing colors."
10:49
Like "Okay you all right?" Like "Yeah I'm fine i'm fine." Like "Okay see you."
10:54
like an hour later he'd knock again yeah cliff yeah like a like when I waved my
11:00
hand by my face there's like an after image now so that became snake on the
11:08
um and uh oh I don't know if you remember men about you did you guys
11:15
ever play someone in a door man in my building growing up who actually saw it
11:21
and said I saw you on that about you that's a crazy character where'd you get the ID
11:27
from I did not have the nerve to tell him that it was him so yeah but usually people Oh no
11:35
it's not it struck me as you were doing Comic Book Guy i was like that's half of the people that we interact with here
11:43
there are I am among my brethren here yes exactly yeah
11:48
um I want to move on to your kind of live action acting roles um Mystery Men
11:55
is obviously another fan favorite but that movie that that is the
12:02
Blue Raja yes um uh that movie was so ahead of its time and of course has
12:09
found its audience and created a cult following because um the genre of
12:15
superhero movies and comic book movies if you will has caught up to kind of what Mystery Men Mystery Men was kind of
12:21
commenting on the genre before there was a genre to comment on what What's your
12:26
kind of perspective now looking back and seeing how that movie has become embraced by the kind of pop culture
12:31
community i mean it's nice you know a lot of the a lot of the projects I've done in my career and this is not a
12:36
complaint i'm very grateful for my career and I'm I am the luckiest man maybe not just in show business but in
12:42
the world to have gotten a Simpsons gig a job that's will be 40 years
12:48
and yeah but most a lot of the stuff I've
12:54
done uh could be called a cult hit which is Hollywood speak for a really good
13:00
thing that was really wellreed that nobody bought you and that's including
13:05
me same you later thank you for actually my
13:11
pleasure so um but this shooting was a very hard shoot uh it was a real pain in
13:18
the ass to do it it was the early days of CGI so it was very painstaking now
13:24
it's very easy to do that they just make it in the computer and it's very user friendly for an actor back then you had
13:31
to make sure your head was in the right position and you got to do it the exact same way 19 times and the director was a
13:38
really creative guy but he had mostly done commercials and he had never really done a Hollywood movie before and it
13:44
kind of showed it was a tedious shoot that should have been much more fun than it was yeah uh Ghost Point Blank is
13:51
another movie I would Yeah it's a great a great movie just wanted to shout that out because it's another movie you're in
13:56
that has become kind of a cult hit and and felt ahead of its time um yeah grant
14:02
really was Cusack and George Armage really had a big change for that yeah the music and everything was so great in that movie yeah and you're great in the
14:08
movie john like picked Cusack like he personally picked all the music for them yeah it's so awesome um all right so we
14:15
uh kind of have a new format this year where uh we in order to kind of fit more
14:21
fan questions in uh majority of the panels this weekend we have had you
14:27
submit your questions ahead of time uh and so I have some fan questions now that uh that we'll read off um uh Lucas
14:35
from Allen lucas are you here no lucas submitted question didn't even bother to come to the
14:41
panel um uh you you you're okay you you'll be Lucas you'll be Son you voiced
14:49
so many iconic characters on the Simpsons is it possible to pick a favorite um or or if not maybe one
14:55
that's the trickiest to do mo is my favorite to do uh cuz he's from
15:00
Queens like I'm from Queens at least in my mind he is and I I you know I feel
15:06
him he's almost like an alter ego always like if my life didn't work out and I was just filled with hate I'd be home do
15:13
you find Do you find yourself kind of slumping into him at random times no
15:18
no it' be bad news for everybody if I did um tough man is the hardest to do
15:27
does that have to save for last because if I do too much stuff man I can't deal with
15:33
completely the voice how you go in and out of them sitting up on the stage is so crazy um uh Chloe from Dallas chloe
15:43
also didn't show up to the panel all right you'll be Chloe all right um you have worked in live action animation uh
15:51
stage and now even podcasts which medium feels the most natural for your creativity
15:57
i guess um like animation or I'm a voice guy at heart first
16:04
and so that probably feels the most natural to me being on stage and on film really I had to learn like it and I I
16:11
didn't like it at first it made me very nervous um so I'm more at home just doing voices
16:19
it's interesting because all actors get to be different people but animation you really get to be a different person
16:25
without the having to kind of be vulnerable in that way and put yourself out there yeah you can just hide your
16:31
mind but that said you have to really act i didn't really like when I my first
16:36
week working on the Simpsons watching Dan Castanetta and Harry Sheer and how
16:42
committed they were physically at the mic they seemed crazy to me i'm like why are you guys jumping around like this no
16:49
one can see you they were like "You kind of have to commit to it in order to give a real vocal performance." So but you
16:55
know no one but in a way that's like more embarrassing than uh you know acting in front of people so you really
17:01
can't you have to really commit to it how did you I mean going all the way back to maybe being a kid and and doing
17:07
faces and voices in the mirror how did you know there there's a lot of kind of budding voice actors especially here in
17:14
Dallas because we have a we have Crunchyroll here we have a big anime voice acting community how did you
17:20
discover you could even do this was it just kind of being a kid and playing around with it yeah I forever as long as
17:26
I can remember I would mimic my first uh heroes i was raised by the television i
17:31
actually I've just finished um a script of a oneman show that I'll be doing Broadway this year that is about all
17:37
this sort of the lighter side of how all this happened and kind of the Oh thank you welcome great to see
17:44
you have a fun day we very welcome you nine people will see it but um
17:52
uh I the lighter side of it is I really was raised by the TV uh back like my
17:59
grandmother my mama s who talked like this hello honey who she became the old
18:04
Jewish man on this wow um she got me a television that my parents in their
18:10
infinite wisdom put in my room with me when I was five um so I would watch uh
18:16
Johnny Carson every night 11:30 at since I was 5 years old which was weird you
18:23
know but I and then but the Warner Brothers cartoons in particular the Bucks Bunny
18:29
Dog and Flaw and you know Sylvester all those were my heroes growing up and I
18:36
would imitate them and I would I I stole my parents tape recorder those old kinds
18:41
where you had to press the two buttons at once very hard especially if you're six and I'd record them and I I it's
18:49
really weird looking back on it i'd listen back i was like it's like I already have the job i was like I'd
18:54
listen back and work on the impression try to make it sound more like Bugs Bunny or or Sylvester um and then when I
19:02
was about 12 or 13 I realized that those were all one guy mel Plank was doing all
19:07
those voices and then he became my hero and then along with Pacino and
19:13
Springsteen anytime I idolize someone which was a lot a lot I for some reason
19:18
like I expressed my love for them by trying to imitate them wow and that's how the voice has really developed
19:24
that's so cool uh yeah absolutely
19:30
jackson from Cedar Park uh if you could create an entirely new Simpsons
19:36
character today what kind of personality or voice would you give them i I'm assuming you get to do this all the time
19:42
but the funny thing is I ran out of voices like 15 20 years
19:47
ago she's not tapped out like every sound I could make has been used on the show
19:53
i mean a friend of mine's father his name was uh name was Vinnie and he he
19:59
talked like this and we used to love imitating this guy Paul uh and I've
20:05
always tried to find a spot for him whenever I do this voice they go it's too low energy we can't yeah but that's
20:13
the point of the guy he was really laidback so I'd like to find a role for him but other than that I think I'm
20:19
tapped out i think I just realized the the reason you're doing conventions is just so you can kind of mass meet people
20:25
and collect new voices to rip off i've you know I think I really have
20:31
tapped out in that way too it's like plus now I'm old and I can't remember anything um you you mentioned Duff Man
20:38
but Emily from Austin asks um are there any accents that you had to practice extra hard to master some are harder
20:45
than others clo from You see this film
20:51
okay but still French accent took me two three month working really hard wow did
20:59
not come natural um I did the Polish accent for the movie that was hard to do the Polish
21:07
there's like you learn an accent you like there's rules to all of it and A sounds like this and E sounds like that
21:14
and CH sounds like that you you like memorize it all like sort of learning a language and then you have to get it so
21:21
that it's like muscle memory so you can forget it when you're performing it some are easier than others you always hear an actor say that the South African is
21:28
the hard part to do it is hard it's too close to uh British or Australian say
21:34
the African game so I do a parody of it really um Trevor from League City uh we got a
21:41
bird bird cage question do we have any bird cage fans
21:46
and this by the way his voice with the Bage is an impression really a pretty good mimicry
21:53
of my other grandmother my mother's mother my grandma Esther she sounded
21:58
like this and it was a good basis for the character she was maternal and loving
22:05
and sweet but very excitable oh it's it's just such an all-time as a movie
22:12
such a classic and and we see it a lot this time of year it you know kind of comes back in theaters because of Pride
22:18
and it was early um for representation in film and it's just it's such an
22:24
iconic film for so many reasons but I can't even imagine I got through one
22:30
scene on that movie with Nathan and Robin um do you have a particular
22:36
funniest moment for you personally while filming that movie i mean I bet there are millions yeah there are a lot um
22:43
Mike Nichols directed that film The Great Mag Nichols mike talked like this called Called Me Dear Boy hello Dear Boy
22:52
and um Mike was such a great audience he would laugh a lot during the takes which
22:58
he would ruin them then so would you you were thrilled that you made the great Mike Nichols laugh but
23:03
you were bummed because you probably I ruined my best takes so they had to move Mike farther and farther away from and
23:11
finally they had him at the other end of the studio with a blanket over him because he would laugh so hard at takes
23:19
which was sort of a good problem to have but no but like really sometimes you do
23:24
a great take and then you hear this love like Mike I'll never do it that well again you know yeah it's just such a
23:31
beautiful film um Evan from the Woodlands uh if you could have dinner with any one of the characters you've
23:38
ever voiced or played who would it be and why it's a fun question
23:47
this is a deep cut but Adolf Hitler i think you got to go to Jesus Christ i
23:54
mean that that would be a good dinner yeah that' be a good dinner so many questions um
24:00
Frank Ryan i know all about Frank
24:05
i played a character named Martin Blitzstein who was a real guy in a movie called Creative Rock very deep cut but
24:12
he was a real imposer from the 1920s and I would like to ask him about what
24:18
theater was really like back then um I just came to mind yeah that's great
24:25
uh Ava from Dallas what's one weird or unexpected place you've ever been recognized just by your voice
24:35
i don't often get recognized for my voice because it's not like I'm walking around like
24:41
uh but every once in a while I'll just be talking normally somewhere and someone's head will whip around and say
24:48
"Oh I thought that was you." I think it's because um so often on the Simpsons
24:53
I've just done my own voice uh so I think people recognize it sometimes yeah um uh Isabelle from
25:00
Dallas looking back at your career is there we've talked about cult hits pits uh is there a role voice or a liveaction
25:08
role that you think deserves a little more love from fans almost all of them
25:13
i'm not kidding about the cult i wish that Brackmeer would have found more of an audience
25:20
it was a really I mean like they're all good but like Mystery Man I I kind of
25:25
see the flaws in it it's a good film it's a fun film same with like Godzilla
25:30
uh you know it's like yeah you know it was good it deserved better than it got probably but I understand why it didn't
25:38
you know catch fire deserved better than a really funny
25:44
show yeah Godzilla or as some fans know it now Zilla do you know this i did not
25:49
know that so uh that Godzilla has now been worked into the kind of official
25:54
Toho Godzilla mythology but they don't acknowledge it as Godzilla it's more of a dinosaur that they just call Zilla is
26:01
that correct oh is that cuz it broke too many Godzilla rules or something and it didn't kind of look enough like Godzilla
26:06
and it was Americanized but they fans have really another gold hit have lifted up and they've merchandized it and made
26:14
Yeah it's made a like I just put out I think it was its anniversary and I put out um you know on Instagram saying this
26:21
is known as the worst Godzilla movie ever made so you know you're welcome and
26:27
I got every comment like every comment hundreds was "I love this movie." I
26:32
think if you grew up with certain films you just love them that if you cuz when you're 11 you don't you're not just you
26:38
know you just love the movie you don't know movies can be bad you don't realize yeah i mean I was born in ' 84 this was
26:44
post Jurassic Park we had you know Jurassic Park and then we had Godzilla like it was an embarrassment of riches
26:50
if you were 11 exactly you know I feel the same way about a lot of stuff that I grew up with and I look back on it now I
26:56
was like "Oh that's pretty bad actually." But I I loved it um
27:04
sorry is that Would that be you sir sure give us your perspective
27:11
it's a really good movie it's not a good movie
27:16
[Applause] thank you accident it was also funny cuz there
27:24
were certain people I don't know who these people were that were mad at the last Godzilla movie because they made
27:29
Godzilla neon pink they're like I've been getting into those lately i don't know why i like the these com yeah but
27:37
they were like it's woke Godzilla they made it neon pink and I was like you've never seen Why would that be woke why is it woke if he's pink cuz he's like
27:44
rainbow or something i don't know but I was like I thought it was cool that he glowed do you have to read into
27:51
everything these days i love you you've obviously never seen the Hankazeri
27:58
Godzilla and how that works with that Godzilla having babies uh but anyway
28:03
that's nerdy um Sam from Austin again another thing I don't remember whatever you just wrote i'll explain i'll explain
28:09
to you next uh Sam and Austin Brock question you showed such a wild
28:15
over-the-top character but kept him human underneath how did you find the balance between comedy and heart that
28:21
was hard actually on black man because I had that idea since I was about 15
28:27
another another one of my heroes were those baseball announcers i love sports
28:33
but even more loved the men who delivered the sports to you the guys who for some reason always seemed to talk
28:39
like this in the 1970s and um they were like my uncle i I
28:45
love them and I always wondered from when I was 15 do they always sound like this like do they go home and say "Honey
28:52
what is for dinner?" You know do they have sex do they dirty talk like
28:58
that and we even put that in Brockma and Julia James slips the fast ball sign in
29:04
my kester not like that right we're like Harry
29:10
Terry at home yeah harry Carries are different fine thanks so well um but so I would but the guy who
29:20
wrote Brock Meer Joel Church Cooper who I just collaborated with on the one man show um he wrote this really gritty raw
29:28
emotional tale of drunkenness and sobriety and a real relationship and it
29:35
was really hard to like do these intimate scenes talking like this you know i mean I it was Amanda Pete was my
29:43
co-star on that and she's such a good actor that she would like you know I
29:48
really felt like I had to really deal with Amanda emotionally cuz she was bringing it but I was so handicapped cuz
29:54
we'd have these like relationship conversations but I had to talk like I sound like I'm you know talking about a
30:00
baseball game but I'm talking about so it was it was hard actually so uh we got about 10 minutes left those
30:07
are all the fan questions thank you so much whether you were here or not uh yeah round of applause for our
30:17
fan i have a couple of questions to take this out so it is of course uh the 40th
30:22
anniversary of Back to the Future we have uh what is one of the largest cast and crew reunions assembled uh so I want
30:30
to take you back in memory lane it was one of your third acting gigs ever november 6th 1988 season 7 episode 2
30:37
Family Ties yeah I remember this one i remember Designing Women was the episode title and you played a character named
30:44
Joe what What was your kind because Michael J fox talked a lot about Family Ties last night what was your kind of memory uh of of that episode it was one
30:52
of my first jobs in television i had a few lines i was a huge fan of the show
30:58
and I was well really I was still like freaking out to be there and um in the
31:04
episode Mallerie uh she's working for a fashion designer
31:09
and she has a design stolen and she's really upset by the woman she's working for and I was
31:17
impressed by how hard they worked to get the script right it was rewritten every day i really learned a lot that week
31:23
about the process and and everyone chimed in gary David Goldberg who ran that show um he was it was kind of best
31:30
idea wins some people are more um tyrannical yeah about the way they uh
31:36
run a set or run a show i remember it was really interesting because um uh was uh Justine Baitman who played
31:44
Mallalerie she was having a hard time with the episode because she was like I wouldn't forgive this person who stole
31:51
my design that I wouldn't get over it because in the episode she did she sort of was like I'm going to let it go and
31:57
Gary David told this fascinating story that I never forgot he said that when he was a young writer uh in television
32:04
comedy it happened to him he wrote a script and the showrunner his boss just
32:09
stole it wow stole it put his own name on it he was really upset as you might
32:15
imagine and then in the end there was nothing he could do about it much like Mallerie was facing in that episode and
32:22
he said to himself you know I guess in a way it's flattery right i guess I'm good
32:27
enough to be a professional because some big professional just stole my work and put his name on it and then he also said
32:33
to himself well if that's really the only script I can write then I don't
32:39
really deserve a career anyway if I don't have any more to back that up then I'm kind of done anyway
32:44
so that's what it kind of told and that's what um Justine it kind of enabled her to understand and and how to
32:51
play it did did you get to have any interaction with Michael at all very
32:56
brief um I had done a movie with an independent film with Woody Harelson i had no scenes with Michael but I really
33:03
I kind of idolized him he was a huge star he's still so great um and I'd done
33:09
a movie with Woody Harlson little indie film and Woody and Michael were really good friends and he kept Woody kept
33:15
saying to me "Did you say hi to Michael did you say I was like "No I don't want to bother." He's like "No no no say hi
33:21
to Michael tell him I said hi." And so finally I was so nervous i think I
33:27
called him Mr fox like oh um Mr fox i I I I did a a
33:34
movie with Woody Harelson and and and you know um I just want to just want to introduce myself and Michael just went
33:41
"Yeah I'll tell Woody you say hi." And he just kind of I was like "No no I I Well never mind nice to meet you nice to
33:47
meet you um and then uh I always remembered that
33:52
too because I still get nerv like at a thing like this when people are really nervous to be me and I I know what that
33:59
uh feels like because I still get that way um you know going up to folks that I
34:05
that I like you should you should go up to Michael's table and say "Um m Mr fox I did a movie with Woody Harlson one
34:11
time." What do it today oh I might do that today i ended up knowing Mike after that and uh I actually auditioned for
34:18
him for who he was directing and I really made him laugh a lot he he I came
34:23
to he was he's a very nice guy he just you know was busy that day man one of the all you want and I talk about voices
34:29
one of the alltime kind of unique great voices oh yeah yeah just so great and
34:35
still got Yeah well thank you for that was a deep deep cut i have one question to take us out um obviously now that The
34:43
Simpsons has been on for 35 years it's one of the longest running continuous TV
34:48
series the the big thing around it is how much it has um fortunately and
34:54
unfortunately predicted the future uh speaking of Back to the Future what is your kind of read on that and and how
35:03
kind of omniresent it's been in predicting some stuff that's come true i've actually thought a lot about this
35:09
because I've been asked a lot about it uh the show is social satire so sort of
35:14
a lot of the job of the show is to go with the comic premise of well if society continues this way here's the
35:22
absurd or likely end of that road like here's where we're headed if we keep
35:28
doing this you know and so in in a way I mean it's been 800 episodes it sort of
35:34
makes three or four predictions an episodeish not all the time so if you do that math we've made about you know 2400
35:42
predictions get some ready and like 12 have come true so granted they're you know really
35:49
uh kind of extraordinary for the things they've predicted um yeah some oddly specific but yeah yes but again it's a
35:57
volume business you know and also I think it does speak to how brilliant the writers are because they really are kind
36:04
of seeing the truth about things and sometimes that kind of comes out in these predictions yeah yeah if you I
36:11
mean if you play the you know if you play the the same lottery numbers you're going to get a few right every once in a while well exactly
36:17
you know and I like you know I think the most famous one was predicting that Trump would be president and I remember
36:23
like they were really like the premise of that was this society worships reality stars so hard you know that one
36:32
day one of them could couldn't be elected president you know they just happened to get Trump exactly right but
36:38
they could have said Jeff proes they could have said anybody um going for what considering it feels like we're all
36:45
a little bit on Survivor these days uh Jeff Ro might have been appropriate i
36:50
mean if the guy Randy probably have a decent chance yeah well uh sir I cannot
36:56
thank you enough uh this has been a true pleasure and a true joy
37:05
[Applause]
