Tom Brokaw is a famous journalist. His idol is Lisa Simpson.

History

He, with Dan Rather teased Kent Brockman at the Springfield Press Club. He then asked Chloe Talbot if she would like to feel his muscle. Later, Brokaw asked Chloe if she would like to go to his celebrity racquetball tournament.[1]

He also regularly visits the Stagnant Springs Health Spa.[2]

In the 2010 Winter Olympics, he announced that his idol is Lisa Simpson. He has her book, Unicorns and Me, and CD, and a large of poster with her ​autograph on.[3]

Behind the Laughter

Tom Brokaw didn't provide the voice of the character, Harry Shearer did, although Brokaw was asked to voice himself in "Bart vs. Lisa vs. the Third Grade". This was because Brokaw liked Harry Shearer's impersonation of him.[4]

Brokaw was originally intended to be the newscaster of CNNBCBS in "Lisa's Wedding", but the scene was mistakenly animated with Kent Brockman and so Shearer rerecorded the dialogue in Brockman's voice.
