Hank Azaria, as various Simpsons characters, reads ump's statement about ejected Phillies fan

In Philadelphia Tuesday night, home plate ump Bob Davidson ejected a heckling fan. Emmy-award winner Hank Azaria, the man behind many of your favorite Simpsons voices, reads Davidson's statement in-character(s).

I can never get enough of Hank's characters. He's a national treasure. ❤😂

The Simpsons have given me so much joy over many, many years. I think our culture would be extraordinarily empty without this show.

"people cheered me, which is unusual in this town for me". I can actually picture comic book guy saying this in the Simpsons lol

Azaria is such a pro. He inhabits his characters. He does an excellent cold-read with only a glance at the copy. He stays in character and nails all of the subtle nuances. Groening is to be commended on his cast picks.

What Comic Book Guy said fit his character

[JosieReddingtonDeSanta]

Mr Azaria is a pure genius❤ And a sweet person❤

[Starpotion]

So talented, it’s amazing hearing all those voices in a row

[pepOnshow]

my favorite voice from hank is comic book guy, God that voice is so awesome because you can feel the sarcasm and insults without any bad word, and that's what makes you LOL

[RobRoyBoaz]

Just love Hank Azaria. Brilliant Simpson voices and a great actor too. Great stuff Hank.

"It's as good as ever.."

Why lie though

[MrKevin]

The fact he brushes off Apu still bothers me. I am Indian and not only am I not offended by Apu, I love it. He is a legendary character and the fact they essentially retired him out of some dumb sense of wokeness is absurd to me.

Hank, Harry Shearer and Dan Castellaneta do pretty much all the voices. Three talented dudes!

[bryanturman]

Hank should do a daily podcast reading of news events in all his characters voices. That would be hilarious.

When Hank Azaria readys the report in Professor Finks voice at 1:50 always kills me laughing lol

[arcticridge]

Moe: No really I'll be fine
(Moe starts crying as soon as the door closes)
(Homer comes back into the bar)
Moe: hey hey! stop opening doors!

[internalinferno]

To give joy and happiness to so many people. I love him

[StrangeASMR]

When he said Moe as closest to his heart that makes me think it's hurting inside too and expresses himself through that character

[mattwoolley]

Hank was feeling the "racism" noose tighten around his voice. So no. No Apu.

"...which is unusual in this town for me..." I love this ump. It was funny just the way it was...and became instantly classic in Comic Book Guy's voice.

Professor Frink, he makes you think...
