‘The Simpsons’ Actor Harry Shearer Hears “Folk Say The Show Has Become Woke” After He Stopped Voicing Dr. Hibbert


Harry Shearer voices many characters on The Simpsons and was recently replaced as the voice of Dr. Hibbert.

“Folk say the show has become woke in recent years and one of my characters has been affected,” Shearer said on The Times of London. Shearer still voices Ned Flanders, Reverend Lovejoy, Principal Skinner, Mr. Burns, Waylon Smithers, Rainier Wolfcastle, and Kent Brockman, among many more. Shearer also said he “wasn’t sure about joining The Simpsons in 1989,” as “voice actors are usually given a script after the animation is completed.”
