Character Information
|
Tom Brokaw is a famous journalist. His idol is Lisa Simpson.
History
He, with Dan Rather teased Kent Brockman at the Springfield Press Club.[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.
