Was Harry Shearer asked to judge Obama's impression of Mr Burns? - Would I Lie to You? Series 10

[@SevenEllen]

Can we all take a moment to appreciate how beautiful Harry's speaking voice is? You've got to love that rich depth and impressive range.

[@carltonleboss]

He naturally sounds like Skinner, I thought he put on a voice for that.

[@Lommy9999]

It's the voice of Mr. Burns assistant.

[@kurisensei]

@@carltonleboss he does do a voice for Skinner. He talks about it with Rob Brydon

[@SimpleChineseYoutube]

Fitting for the bass player in Spinal Tap

[@ravecrab]

@@SimpleChineseKZbin He has a voice like lukewarm water.

Rob really is a very good impressionist. He's typecast as a goofball, but he has serious talent.

[@sstills951]

@@donaloflynn Same with Lee Mack. Some people allude to him being dim, but I think he's quick witted and intelligent. Goofiness doesn't always equate to low intelligence.

[@madperson876]

When I heard Harry do his voices for Smithers and Burns on Would I Lie to You for the first time (it's different hearing the voices directly from the actual actors without seeing the cartoons talking if you know what I mean!), I was sat here like "Okay I wanna hear that again!" Seems that Lee had the same reaction as me! I googled the cast list for The Simpsons to see how many voices Harry actually did, and throughout his entire career on The Simpsons, he has done 36 different voices!!!

[@TheTradge]

madperson876 - He and Hank Azaria are, for me, the two most talented actors on the Simpsons, possibly even in animated television history.

[@urmumsbaps]

@@TheTradge Totally agree. I only learned recently that Harry does lines for conversations between Smithers & Burns in single takes which blew my mind.

[@Aurorak-i6l]

Whenever two or more of his characters have a conversation in one scene, I would basically comment the fact he’s talking to himself.

[@sjn6704]

He's actually done over 100 including minor, one-time characters

[@billyeveryteen7328]

My favorite is in Who Shot Mr Burns part one. There's a whole scene where Smithers, Mr Burns, and Principal Skinner are the only people in it, so it's a whole scene of just Harry Shearer talking to himself.

[@lghal1]

It must be hard to do an impression of another mans impression of your own voice doing a fictional character

[@davidcooke8005]

Check out Rob Brydon doing Mick Jagger doing Micheal Caine on Graham Norton's show. It's on another level.

[@Dendarang]

Reminds me Hugh Laurie doing an American accent doing a fake British accent in House.

[@billyeveryteen7328]

Comedian and former Simpsons writer Conan O'Brien has said Mr. Burns was his favorite character to write for. He used to love coming up with weird old-timey things for him to say.

[@SquidandCatAdventures]

I got a kick out of hearing him do Smithers right before Mr. Burns. Had no idea that they were voiced by the same person.

[@boccs9925]

There is just something so charming about how excited everyone on that stage is to hear him do Mr. Burns. I guess I assumed love for the Simpsons was just an American thing but it looks like it crossed the sea nicely.

[@Pacific_Norfweest]

Most of the Western European world is obsessed with American media.

[@sstills951]

A true artist can give a decent performance, no matter the time or place. They're always prepared because of their dedication to their craft.

Shearer doing Bono's impression of Burns was actually Mike Myers doing Dr. Evil.

Just realized that Shearer is pushing 80, in a few years we may loose half the voices for The Simpsons.

Come on man, it’s spelled ‘lose’.

[@nufcedkidyup8627]

[@vector9511]

What gave it away was his descriptions of the impressions. Obama is very bad at doing impressions, so there's no way he could've won against Bill Clinton and Bono. Furthermore, saying that Bono's was too breathy is hard to believe when he was against Bill Clinton, who has assumed a very airy voice.
