Azaria told the website SlashFilm that “He won’t do the voice anymore, unless there’s someway to transition it or something.”
He continued, “We all made the decision together. We all agreed on it. We all feel like it’s the right thing and good about it.”
It’s not known what “The Simpsons” creators will do with the character.
