Hey Everyone,

Has anyone ever heard comments by a person that was portrayed on the Simpson's about their portrayal?

For example, I know Arnold Schwarzenegger has a great sense of humor, has anyone heard him make reference to or comment about his charactor aka Rainier Wolfcastle.

Since there are so many others, there must be someone that has heard something.

When Garrison Keillor was a guest on NPR's "Fresh Air" the host, Terry Gross, asked him what he thought of the caricature The Simpsons did of him. She then played a clip from the show "Marge on the Lam" where Harry Shearer does an imitation of Keillor and his Radio show "A Prairie Home Companion" for Mr. Keillor to hear.

As I recall, Mr. Keillor was polite in his answer but didn't seem too happy about his lampooning, although he was restraint about it.

I think you might be able to hear it hear, but I'm not sure since I couldn't download it. http://freshair.npr.org/guest_info_fa.jhtml?name=garrisonkeillor

While that link was interesting, it doesn't include any Simpsons related bits at all. It's Garrison Keillor talking to Terry Gross on Fresh Air about his book Lake Wobegon Summer 1956, discovering pornography, writing, and open heart surgery from Sept 5th 2001.

That's too bad. Sorry. I couldn't download it so I had no idea what was on it. I was just hoping it would have been the interview in question.
