Hank Azaria on Conan O'Brien

Just watched the Conan O'Brien tonight (Wednesday). There was a good interview with Hank Azaria. Both with Simpsons experience, they did a lot of discussion on the Simpsons. Hank did most of his voices and talked about their origins. I learned some stuff I didn't know, like the origin of Comic Book Guy. Make sure you don't miss it. I believe it's repeated during the day on some cable channel. A must see for Simpsons fans.

Hank Azaria's new show "Huff" premieres this Sunday on Showtime.

There is a related contest at SNPP where you can win Simpsons DVDs or the Simpsons Clue game.

Did any see this last night? It was really good, with both of Conan and Hank being associated with the Simpsons. Hank did most of his voices from the Simpsons, and talked about their origins. I've seen Hank several times on talk shows discussing the Simpsons, but still learned some things. I never knew where Comic Book Guy originated from. I was going to post to tell people to watch the repeat of Conan during the day, but it was shown in the listings for today.

Since I have no chance of seeing that interview, how about you share some of the details?

moe the bartender is based on al pacino in "dog day afternoon" lou the cop is based on Sly stallone comic book guy is based on someone named F, a college neighbor of azaria apu is based on every 7-11 employee in hollywood. clancy wiggum is edward g. robinson (who?) ;)

Really. I would have bet money that it was Harvey Pekar's friend Toby Radloff. He sounds very much like Comic Book Guy.
