As a fan of the long-running show, this is truly sad.
Earlier today, it was reported that Harry Shearer, the voice of Ned Flanders, Mr. Burns, Kent Brockman, and so many more iconic characters, will be leaving "The Simpsons" after 26 years. It has been reported that Shearer was offered the same deal as the rest of the cast members, but turned down the offer in order to pursue other projects. It has been reported that Shearer was offered $14 million to return to the 27 and 28th season of "The Simpsons".
Al Jean tweeted after the announcement that "the show will go on" and added that they would not kill of the iconic characters Shearer has voiced over the years and that they would replace them with "the finest voiceover talent available". He also said that they are "hoping he might come back" and that nothing is truly set in stone as of right now.
This is definitely a sad day to be a fan of "The Simpsons". I've been watching the show since I was a little kid and loved all the characters that Shearer voiced for their individual personalities that were so intricate and lively. He was a man of many voices and we will be missed.
"The Simpsons" will never be the same without you, Harry.
Thank you for 26 years of hilarity.
