I haven't watched this show in decades, but this continuing nonsense seems to me to seriously undermine the original irreverrent basis for the show.
Harry Shearer is the latest original Simpsons cast member to retire a role. The Feb. 21 episode of the long-running Fox animated series featured the actor's final vocal performance as Dr. Julius Hibbert, one of the show's most prominent Black characters. But Springfield's citizens will still be able to visit the good doctor for his dubious medical advice — and plentiful lollipops. As originally reported by Vulture, Dr. Hibbert will be voiced by veteran voiceover artist Kevin Michael Richardson, starting with the Feb. 28 episode. Richardson has voiced multiple supporting characters on The Simpsons since 2009, and his other credits include Teen Titans Go! and Family Guy, as well as the upcoming series Invincible and Masters of the Universe: Revelation.
It's the latest casting change since The Simpsons producers first announced over the summer that white actors would no longer be voicing the various characters of color populating Springfield.
Soon, all things will be criminalized by the Left's influence, and all errant citizens criminals. Doubleplusgood.
'Simpsons' star Harry Shearer will no longer voice Black character Dr. Julius Hibbert
