Difference between revisions of "List of guest stars"

This is a '''list of guest stars who appeared on The Simpsons'''. Many episodes of iconic animated series [[The Simpsons]] feature [[celebrity]] guests contributing their voices to the show, whether as themselves or as fictional characters. This list does not include those celebrities whose voices have merely been impersonated.

There are several non-regular voices who make appearances but are credited as "also starring" and not guest voices. These voices are not mentioned here. As well, [[Marcia Wallace]] has made many [[de facto]] appearances and has always been credited as a guest star. Only the episodes in which her character [[Edna Krabappel]] plays a significant role are mentioned here. This is partially because the list becomes a lot more cluttered because she has guest starred in close to a hundred episodes, so although she is only credited a few times here, she has "guest starred" in many episodes.

'''NOTE''': The episode [[A Tale of Two Springfields]] featured [[John Entwistle]] and [[Roger Daltrey]] of [[The Who]], but for unknown reasons, [[Pete Townshend]] did not lend his voice. Pete did appear in the episode but was voiced by his brother [[Paul Townshend]]. In the actual episode, all three were simply credited as "The Who". In a normal episode the group name plus all the voices are listed, but it was not done in this case likely to avoid confusion. [http://www.vh1.com/news/articles/1436738/20000726/story.jhtml]
