Shearer Quits "The Simpsons"

[Turtletrekker]

I remember that the last time the Simpsons casts contracts were up for renegotiation Shearer was interested in a share of the Simpsons merchandising money. I wonder if FOX finally caved on that point.

I'm glad for that. I would've missed Mr. Burns.

Who here is actually surprised that Shearer was just holding out for more money?

Uh, he didn't get any more money.

He held out for a better contract. I don't buy for a second he ever actually intended to quit.

I'm reading a behind the scenes of SNL book right now, and Sherer was briefly on the show and everyone interviewed absolutely hated him
