The actor who voices The Simpsons has not seen any episodes

Actor Harry Shearer, known for providing voices to multiple characters in The Simpsons, has admitted he has never watched the iconic animated series despite participating in over 800 episodes. Shearer, famous for voicing characters like Mr. Burns, Kent Brockman, and Ned Flanders, joined the show from its inception. The first full season of The Simpsons aired in 1989 after earlier segments appeared on The Tracey Ullman Show. Despite the series having reached 36 seasons with a 37th coming in August, Shearer has not viewed his most well-known work. In an interview, he was asked if the 1990s episodes, often considered the golden age of the show, have stood the test of time. He responded that he does not know, as he has never watched them. However, he expressed enjoyment in continuing to voice various Springfield residents for nearly four decades, appreciating the diversity of roles. A new movie based on The Simpsons is set to release in 2027, 20 years after the first.
