Can people help me compile a list of all the recurring characters who have been added to the show only in recent years?

Here are some I thought of:

Texan Businessman The Asian Real Estate Agent (Cookie Kwan?) Manjula Apu and Majula's 8 children The lady marketing exevutive

And does anyone know who does their voices? Thanks

Yeah that's her name.

Manjula actually has significant roles every once in a while (3 that I can think of). This list seems to be composed of one-liner machines, but she's really more of a major character.

Her name's Lindsay Naegle.

Also there's the Yes Guy and Gil.

Steve Brown:

His name is apparently Rich Texan.

How many times does a new character have to appear before they become "recurring"? And, when they become "recurring", are they still new?

How can a character be "new" and "recurring"? What kind of G-d would allow that?

Sorry, but who are "yes Guy" and "Gil"? Is Gil the Jack-Lemmon character who used to sell pretzels and now does random things? I watch the show faithfully but I cant figure out who "Yes Guy" is. As soon as you tell me, I'm sure I'll figure it out. Could you please email me directly, as I dont check these boards often. Thanks.

The "Yes Guy" is the large man with the tiny moustache that always sounds excited and says "Yeeeessss" to most everything.

Gil is basically a loser who has had jobs including real estate and car sales (in two different episodes). The pretzel guy died, but did sound like Gil.

I'm not certain of this, but I think it's Dan Castellaneta.

Tress MacNeille, most likely. She's listed as the voice in the "Realty Bites (5F06)" capsule.

Normally Jan Hooks, a former "Saturday Night Live" castmember. I think Ms. MacNeille did her voice for one episode in which Manjula just had a line or two.

Nancy Cartwright usually does the infant babblings.

That would be Tress MacNeille again. She's unstoppable.

According to this source..it's Dan Castellaneta doing the voice of "Big Rich Texan'... http://www.doheth.co.uk/lists/voices.shtml

You know that you can put "voice texan simpsons" while clicking "search the web" on Google...this was the first result...it's not that difficult.

Your suggestion to consult Google (or your favorite search engine) is a good one, but there's no reason to get snippy about it. Not everyone accesses the Internet the same way you do.

You remind us that even in 2003, not everyone has an always-on broadband connection.
