I'll be in a taped segment tomorrow on "Good Morning America," so check out your local ABC affiliate between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m.
Why, you might ask? The voice actors on "The Simpsons" continue to strike, and now the show is in danger of having to cut the number of episodes is produces for next season. "Good Morning America" threw me on camera and asked, Who's right in this scenario -- The voice actors, who rightly point out that Fox has made a mint on the show, and that their ask is just a drop in the bucket.. or Fox, who notes that the thesps are already handsomely paid for what amounts to the easiest job in television?
My wishy-washy response? They both have solid arguments. Which is why I'm convinced they'll still come to terms before long. They need each other -- for Fox, they can't afford to lose such a pivotal series. And for these actors... are they nuts? This truly is the best gig in TV -- and they sure don't want to lose it.
