Dan Castellaneta On Voicing Homer Simpson | Late Night with Conan O’Brien

[@KentuckyWallChicken]

“In my day, we didn’t have talk shows! We sat around and listened to noises!” Absolutely my favorite Grandpa Simpson quote.

[@ploopower89]

the scene that always makes me bust out laughing is when bart is the host for the burlesque house and grandpa simpson walks in, puts his hat on the rack, sees bart, turns around, picks his hat off and walks out. Then he opens the door and asks "is your name Bart?"

[@steelbeard151]

For me it was when the dog had an operation and was wearing that large cone to keep it from biting the stitches, and was walking through the living room with its back legs in a little wheeled cart and Grandpa said "Hey! The lamp's runnin' away..."

@@zmattchiasson that implies it's not difficult because it's written.

Guests on Conan are so Natural and always seem to be at home. They come up with great jokes, awesome comic timing and always have great chemistry with Conan.

[@LucaBlaLP]

This guy simply has to open his mouth for people to start cheering. I would never get bored of this, it must feel amazing.

[@Ingridb7]

He can do so many different voices SOOO talented and clever

[@user-Natsu2001]

Conan was also a producer and writer in Simpsons and the monorail episode was written by him

[@LadyhawksLairDotCom]

one of the best.

[@inevitablecraftslab]

no shit sherlock.

[@alexmendez9627]

I’d wish more voice actors were invited to talk shows. I’ve been rewatching this video several times already! Always gives me a smile. Thank you Dan for entertaining us (probability all millennials onwards) throughout all these years! 👏👏

[@finaltheorygames1781]

Dan looks like a nobody yet he is one of the greatest people ever.

[@alejandroontiveros3922]

Thats why the looks are not important

[@jonathannoble7657]

Well that’s a bit rude

[@fadenmac8092]

Looks like Mr. Burns...younger brother

[@AJ-on-youtube]

He looks like Homer.

[@DoeDonDoe]

i disagree. think he has stunning sharp eyes.

[@sammodell2382]

“In my day, we didn’t have talk shows. We sat around and listened to noises!” 😂😂😂

[@julz3tt3]

The sheer talent here. These voices are so iconic and memorable. They will always be a staple in Cartoon entertainment. This is 20 yrs old and everyone knows Homer Simpson, Barney, Abe Simpson and Groundskeeper Willy.

[@weldin]

The facial expressions he makes when he does his voices reminds me a lot of George Carlin.

[@yeetwchybaban]

Hmmm

[@ahmed.c.4241]

I think something else reminds you of George Carlin. The head, may be...

The word "doh" has been in the Oxford English Dictionary since 2001. The word "doh" is an exclamation used to express a sudden realization of a foolish mistake or an ironic turn of events. For example, "Doh! That was the biggest mistake ever". It is mainly used in the US and is informal and humorous. The word was added to the Oxford English Dictionary in 2001. It is often associated with Homer Simpson, who frequently uses the expression. Dan Castellaneta has changed the English language.

[@DanielThureskog]

Someone should animate this interview, replacing Dan's head to the characters heads that he's voicing. I would love to see Conan reappear as himself on The Simpsons with the updated animation design. His previous look on the show wasn't as detailed as it could had been.

[@uake]

deep fake.

[@DanielThureskog]

@@uake with AI voice. Similar in style of Juiceone.

[@simonfeakes]

I think that would be great, but the new animation style is something I really disagree with. The older animation had so much more to offer, characters were real, animated characters rather than crisp, clean, soulless cardboard cutouts. The Simpsons only ever had one true art style.

[@TheSmileyOne]

That's what imagination is for

[@MosoKaiser]

Nah, keep the original animation style. The Simpsons just looks odd in HD.

[@UncleAnaesthesia]

His everyday voice is Human Fly who stayed up all night, dyeing his underwear. Amazing.

[@thorstenfuzzi5031]

How can this be so fucking accurate? Laughing my ass off

[@MrParkerman6]

Human fly's voice is a bit higher.

[@zomge_videos]

Ahahaha

[@pronkb000]

One of the folks on one of the DVD commentaries pointed out that Bill & Marty from KBBL are essentially Dan and Harry doing their real voices.

[@sallysvision3545]

"dear god, make Dan Castellaneta immortal so he can voice Homer forever"

[@nikolai1326]

I -love- his facial expressions when he does Groundskeeper Willy. I generally enjoy any voice actors who start physically getting into the role, Mark Hamill doing Joker being the best example.

[@mattgunnell9416]

Easy to forget that he can also sing in those voices, too! He (and the rest of the cast) are voice-acting legends and rightly so.

[@darrylt8502]

Imagine having a bad day at a fast food joint or Starbucks and Dan walks in and orders something in Grandpa or Barney's voice. That would completely change my day.

There's a lot of Quimby in his natural voice.

[@GlazeonthewickeR]

Love how everyone lost their minds at 3:02 when he switched to the lower octave and did the “drooling over donuts” sound. Brilliant

[@SoleaGalilei]

Between them, these two guys contributed so much to one of the greatest shows of all time. Both very humble!

[@thenus6212]

It makes me feel soo sad that Conan is underrated to those **** Jimmy's

[@caneface87]

Right! He is so much better and has been for so long

[@mackstewart4203]

He’s not underrated. Conan is universally seen as a legend including by Jimmy Fallon himself.

[@navebushes5717]

Mack Stewart yet he was kicked out by Jay Leno and now remains on a much smaller network with a much smaller budget and salary than all the other talk show hosts. If he was truly seen as a universal legend, he would be doing the larger late night shows instead of the Jimmys.

[@mackstewart4203]

Nave Bushes Nobody cares about broadcast ratings anymore. His digital success is equal to or eclipses what the other hosts do online. He is probably the most respected of all of them in the comedy world, maybe competing with Colbert. And in regards to salary, I’m sure he’s got enough money to last the rest of his life without having to work. I don’t think the fact that he’s not on NBC negates from his legend at all.

[@octo.lina69]

Conan is my remedy. Hes actually a former writer for The Simpsons, writing episodes including "New Kid on the Block" and "Marge vs. the Monorail".

[@Jasserv]

If you crossed paths with him you'd never know you were among a legend!

[@danielleking262]

omg it's so uncanny to see their iconic voices come out of this one man!!! 😂🤯

[@876r876rf]

Grounds keeper willie has always been my favorite voice, such a gem

[@EdwardMcClung]

I worked with Dan on set in 2015, or 2016 maybe, and he was absolutely as kind and personable as he comes across here in 2000. Obviously, he was 15 years older than in this clip but for his credibility and experience he still gave anyone the time of day, and I respect that in a person in that fast-paced industry.

[@Pewpewpew182]

Love this guy. Dan is a class act.

[@kskiran08]

Never knew this guy was Homer Simpson, have seen him in many movies and series. Good job man!!

[@boppob1343]

Its crazy how much of a phenomenon the Simpsons were. The audience here went more insane for this actor who does almost exclusively voice acting than they have for any other conan interview Ive ever seen.

[@TheDrakenZ]

I first saw him acting in "Yes, Dear" as a crazy neighbour. Had no idea he was the man behind the voices at the time hahaha

[@redseaford9426]

For me it was when he was the dean of the private school Ari's daughter went to in "Entourage"

[@squierstrat9502]

Hahaha

[@martyklestadt6766]

For me, it was when he and Patricia Heaton played a couple with good seats at a Suns-Knicks game in the movie Space Jam.

[@CLuvTV]

OMG I've never heard the origin of D'oh before

[@broben5]

Dan is such a great guy, and I'm glad Conan got to interview him all those years ago to create such a great collection of silly voices to listen and laugh at.
