—omg I love Hank Azaria!! I remember him from The Birdcage and he was hilarious! Remember him scratching the “a” off of the aspirin that he gave to Albert so Albert believed he was getting a tranquilizer called “Spirin”?
From jewishbusinessnews.com:
In the wake of Black Lives Matter and “Cancel Culture,” The Simpsons’ producers decided that it was no longer appropriate for a white Jewish man to play ethnic characters. It was previously announced that Hank Azaria would no longer play the voice of the Indian Kwiki Mart owner Apu. And now it has been revealed that a new actor will also be playing Homer Simpsons black friend and co-worker Carl Carlson.
Hank Azaria’s Jewish co-star Harry Shearer, who has voiced black character Dr. Hibert for 30 years, is not happy with the changes. In an interview he said, “I have a very simple belief about acting. The job of the actor is to play someone who they’re not. That’s the gig. That’s the job description.”
Not one station although the only thing one station could do anyway is not show The Simpsons!
It’s a done deal and it’s just silly.
