Nancy has just returned from an exciting engagement in Toronto. She did two performances of her one-woman show to ebullient fans on October 16th in the lovely John Basset Theater in the convention center downtown. Her “warm up act,” a star in his own right, was the inestimable Simpsons director, David Silverman. He gave an extraordinary retrospective on the art of the Simpsons from its inception as a part of the “Tracey Ullman Show” to the half hour we know and love today, capping his performance with a drawing demonstration not to be missed.

Congratulations to Dan Castellaneta, the voice of Homer Simpson! Dan has won this year’s Emmy award for voice over performance.
Castellaneta took the 2004 award for his roles as Homer, Krusty the Clown, Grampa Simpson, Groundskeeper Willie, Barney Gumble and Mel in The Simpsons episode “Today I Am a Clown.”
Come one, come all to a once in a lifetime event at the Metropolitan Toronto Convention Center. Nancy will be doing two performances of her one woman show, My Life as a 10-Year-Old Boy on Saturday, October 16th.
Hosted by Animation Connection, and including a talk and drawing demonstration by Simpsons director David Silverman, this is a Simpsons fan extravaganza that must not be missed.
Well, the best show on television is still The Simpsons according to The Academy of TV Arts and Sciences. (Rufus, from Kim Possible, is a bit miffed but, and we think he responded to the knews, “Wait till next year!” But with Rufus you can never really be sure.)
Monday evening, March 3, marked a milestone in television history when the “yellow carpet” was rolled out at one of the hangars at the Santa Monica airport. Lined up in one limo after another, the cast of The Simpsons walked the walk” amidst paparazzi and television crews for this exciting celebration of the longest-running primetime series in history.
