    Haven't watched a new episode in years. As long as the voice actors that play Homer, Marge, Bart and Lisa stay they'll probably keep making new episodes.

    The Simpsons is shit anymore - like anything else Fox airs. The show died around 2005 and it seems Shear is the only person who realizes this.

    I ask myself: How much more black could the future of the Simpsons be?

    And the answer is none. None more black.

    I am very, very sorry. I deeply apologise for this joke.

    Cheers!

    Well, that's just how it is with everything today. It's PR bullshit. It's all very serious business.

    It's normal you wouldn't be familiar with this kind of PR behaviour, though. After all, you're a Van Halen fan.

    Apparently Shearer has stated there's still time for him to get back on board...so this is likely just a bullshit power play for attention and/or more money.

    It's the golden goose.

    Like his voice actor colleagues on The Simpsons, Shearer makes $300,000 per episode. Per CelebrityNetWorth, Shearer is worth $65 million.15 Feb 2014
    If though you tell a 71 year old millionaire he isn't allowed to do anything else I can see how he would walk. He has done radio and podcasts for years and he's a bit of a campaigner especially over Katrina.

    Right... I keep forgetting about that.

    For some reason.

    If I was 71, had 65 million & someone told me I can't do something, I'd tell him to stick his 6 & a half million up his arse.

    Then I'd strip naked & run the hell out of there making duck sounds.

    Which is a lie, of course. If someone paid me 6,600,000 to voice 22 episodes, I wouldn't do anything else all year, anyway.

    You see, I'm very, very lazy. Which is probably why I'll never earn all that money in a lifetime, let alone one year.

    Cheers!

    Clearly I made some poor career choices... $300,000 per episode to sit and talk silly for a few hours a day!! I missed my calling...

    I'd much rather he got the $300k than Rupert Murdoch.

    I remember watching Shearer on Stern a few years back. Back then, he stated he'd leave the show.
    Ah, anyway..
    Bring back Tap and I'll be fine. McKean is almost done with Better Call Saul, and I don't know what Guest is doing.

    His podcast Le Show is beyond boring. Basically Harry repeats headlines and yeah, repeats headlines.

    "Le Show"???

    What a lame name. Just as bad as "The Joe Rogan Experience". Two podcasts I don't want to listen to.
