Inside the Actors Studio1994

Himself - Host:
As a Simpson character on one wonderful, brief occasion, I am proud of my cartoon ethnicity. Can someone tell me how the Simpsons characters became yellow?

Yeardley Smith:
I can.

Himself - Host:
Please.

Yeardley Smith:
Matt apparently thought it would be really funny if, when people watch "The Simpsons", they thought maybe the color on their TV was off.

[audience laughter]

Yeardley Smith:
So, and that they were trying to get the flesh tone on the Simpsons. But they just couldn't. "They're still yellow. What's going on?"

Himself - Host:
Why did I, why does every cartoon character have only three fingers?

Hank Azaria:
That's animation tradition.

Nancy Cartwright:
It's because it's cheaper.

[audience laughter]

Himself - Host:
Well, just think over the years how many millions of dollars have been saved by not putting in that pinkie.

Nancy Cartwright:
That's it. It's time. Seriously.

Himself - Host:
Why does everybody on the show have an overbite?

Hank Azaria:
That's a Groening-esque art thing.

Himself - Host:
That was Groening?

Yeardley Smith, Hank Azaria, Dan Castellaneta, Nancy Cartwright:
Yeah.

Dan Castellaneta:
He says it's a world without chins.
