Stephen Hawking Loves "The Simpsons" - Neatorama

We all love and know Stephen Hawking for his quirky humor and his even quirkier Astrophysics papers about Black Holes and our Universe. But, did you know that he has a special liking for "The Simpsons"? Not only does he enjoy the show but he also "voice acted" (yes, I know that was a real pull on words) in many episodes. He even considers it to be one of the best shows on TV! Seeing it that he is a genius who are we to disagree?

Push play or watch it off of Youtube!

Don't forget his appearances on Futurama!

Living in Cambridge I've bumped into him twice, once where he seemed to be debating if he really wanted to go for a pizza with his the person pushing, the other was in an almost run you down incident. My brother said he once nearly ran over his foot.

You always double take, blimey that was was Stephen Hawking, but people just walk on by.

*Hawking enters Panucci's Pizza*
"The usual, Dr. Hawking?"
"No, today I'd like something good."

"And because the Simpsons is the best thing on American television."

...Clearly he's never seen Arrested Development.

He started showing up on the Simpsons in 1999! Where y'all been?

I've always wondered why he can't afford a better voice font. I mean, he sounds like Microsoft Sam! (OK, LH Michael)

I believe he has deliberately kept that voice because he considers it "his".

It's true Marco that he has been on "The Simpsons" for some time, however, this would be the only time he was filmed actually talking about it on video.

Sometimes I wonder if it's really him talking. I mean, that video could've been anyone talking for him.

Well, when you look at what else is on television, perhaps the Simpsons is simply the lesser evil.

how i love arrested development.

Yes, he's kept the voice because he and and everyone else is used to it. However, he did not like it at first because it didn't speak with a British accent.

matt, sometimes I forget Hawking is English because that voice has no accent!
