WORST EPIS.. No seriously, a voice question

I've read the FAQ about Chris Collins (aka Chris Latta) doing the voice of Moe and Mr. Burns in 7G01 and 7G03 respectively. I've listened to the Moe lines quite a lot, and if they aren't Hank Azaria I would be amazed. It doesn't sound precisely like Moe in later episodes, but it does sound exactly like Hank Azaria doing a first-time try at the voice. So my question is, what's the source of the information that it definitely was Chris Collins? On Google I saw an article that says Hank Azaria said he took over the role of Moe from someone else, but might they not simply have redone the lines prior to air? Anyone with definite info?

You really need to go to www.snpp.com to check out the episode capsules. Great source for this kind of info.

According to this, the voice credits for the 7G01 show Moe voiced by Hank Azaria. But then again, the character file lists Christopher Collins. So I guess there really isn't going to be an easy answer on this.

I had to look a little harder through the site, but it does indeed list Christopher Collins as the voice credit for 7G03 for Mr. Burns. Hank must have been busy with "Herman's Head."

I received this response from Jouni, the source of all good dirt on tidbits like this:

Christopher Collins was the original voice for Moe and Mr. Burns, as well

as several one-time characters. For example (from producers' synopses):

7G01 WORKER #1 .............................. CHRISTOPHER COLLINS

7G03 T.V. ANNOUNCER #2 ...................... CHRISTOPHER COLLINS

However, according to the brand new 7G01 DVD commentary, during the

extensive reanimating of the episode, Collins' original voiceover was

replaced Hank Azaria's, who by this time had joined the cast as Moe and

other characters.

I'm not totally sure about "Homer's Odyssey," but I think it's Collins

doing Burns' voice in the aired version of the episode, and that wasn't

replaced by Shearer's performance.

I'm sending a copy of this to his son Ben, who may have more input.
