The FAMILY GUY-THE SIMPSONS crossover wasn’t the only pop culture/animated series collision this season for the Simpsons family: in Sunday’s episode of THE SIMPSONS, the characters from FUTURAMA (which was also created by SIMPSONS creator Matt Groening) pop up to prevent the destruction of the future.
I spoke with THE SIMPSONS star Yeardley Smith (Lisa) about “Simpsorama,” and how her character is handling these visitors…

THE SIMPSONS has taken on LEGOs, a record-breaking marathon, and so much more this year. But if you’re a Los Angeles-based fan of the long-running animated series, something arguably even cooler is happening this weekend: THE SIMPSONS will be taking over the Hollywood Bowl.
For three nights only, the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra — as well as special guests including event host/SIMPSONS star Hank Azaria, SIMPSONS creator Matt Groening, SIMPSONS stars Yeardley Smith and Nancy Cartwright, plus Conan O’Brien, Beverly D’Angelo, Jon Lovitz, “Weird Al” Yankovic, Gay Men’s Chorus of Los Angeles, Vaud and the Villains, and Kipp Lennon — will accompany classic SIMPSONS scenes shown on a big screen. (And there are tickets still available.) It’s going to be pretty incredible.
I spoke with Smith about the fantastic event, and she teased what she’ll be singing — and then demonstrated a bit of the song in question. Check out the video!

THE SIMPSONS fans got a treat when the series launched its syndication run on FXX: the network aired all 25 seasons (and the movie!) in one giant marathon — dubbed, appropriately, “Every. Simpsons. Ever” — over 12 consecutive days in late August/early September.
I sat down with THE SIMPSONS star Yeardley Smith (Lisa) to talk about the “incredibly gratifying” fan response to the uber-SIMPSONS marathon…

THE SIMPSONS producers have been teasing an upcoming character death for a while, and early on in the upcoming season, viewers will learn which character will meet an untimely death.

When the fall television season kicks off, fans of Fox’s animated shows will get a huge treat: the long-awaited official crossover between THE SIMPSONS and FAMILY GUY! (That’s not counting the nods, digs, and little cameos the shows have had over the years.)
Because of the production schedule for animated series, the stars of both shows have recorded their voice-overs for the episode. For fans who have been anxiously anticipating the event, it’s is an extra bit of good news, because when I caught up with FAMILY GUY star Alex Borstein (Lois) and THE SIMPSONS star Yeardley Smith (Lisa) at the recent Girls’ Night Out event, they were able to tease a bit of what will be going down when the Simpsons and Griffins meet up…

Many of Fox’s fabulous women gathered on Monday night for a panel entitled, appropriately enough, “Girls’ Night Out,” and the women shared their input on their characters, what they struggled with, and some of the perks of the job.
Before the panel, I asked Jane Lynch (GLEE), Chelsea Peretti (BROOKLYN NINE-NINE), Alex Borstein (FAMILY GUY), Yeardley Smith (THE SIMPSONS), and Heather Kadin (SLEEPY HOLLOW) which television character they’d like to have a girls’ night out with…and their answers were fabulous. (And ranged from people like 24’s Nina Meyers to FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS’ Tami Taylor to MARY TYLER MOORE’s Mary.)
