List of guest stars

Wikisimpsons - The Simpsons Wiki
Revision as of 21:19, December 30, 2007 by Dr. Ralph Wiggum (talk)

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.


Season 1

Season 2

Season 3

NOTE: Michael Jackson was credited as John Jay Smith for this appearance. Although he provided his own voice for the dialogue, Kipp Lennon, a Jackson impersonator, did all the singing.[2]

NOTE: Catherine O'Hara originally agreed to do the voice of the waitress in Flaming Moe's and she actually went into the studio and recorded her part for the character. However, the producers felt that her voice did not fit the role and instead had Jo Ann Harris do the part.[3]

Season 4

NOTE: Anthony Perkins agreed to voice Dr. Wolfe in Last Exit to Springfield but unfortunately fell ill and could not record the part. Clint Eastwood and Anthony Hopkins had also been asked to provide a voice, but both declined[4]

Season 5

Season 6

Season 7

NOTE: Glenn Close makes an appearance in this episode in a deleted scene that was originally intended for Mother Simpson. So, although it was not recorded specifically for this episode, her appearance is noted here. The same is true for Phil Hartman as Lionel Hutz.

Season 8

Season 9

  • Episode 5F24 - "All Singing, All Dancing"
    • None (although various previous guest stars are shown through archive footage)

NOTE: In this episode, the individual members are not credited and only "U2" is listed. Larry Mullen does not have any lines in the episode and thus is not credited here.

Season 10

Season 11

Season 12

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. [1]

NOTE: In the end credits, Jay Mohr is actually credited with the voice of Christopher Walken, the credit says "Jay Mohr as Christopher Walken". This is the first time this has ever been done.

  • Episode BABF22 - "HOMR"
    • None

Season 13

  • Episode DABF12 - "Gump Roast"
    • NRBQ Sings “You’ll Never Stop The Simpsons” Over the End Credits
    • Several Others, but it’s all archive footage

Season 14

Season 15

Season 16

Season 17

Season 18

These names have been mentioned in various articles but have not yet officially been confirmed.

NOTE: This list does NOT include unaired episodes or The Simpsons Movie.

IGN's Top 25 Simpsons Guest Appearances

In September of 2006, entertainment website IGN started doing several promotional features for the Simpsons season premiere and one of these features was the inclusion of a list of the 25 Greatest Simpsons guest stars. Kelsey Grammer, Phil Hartman, Marcia Wallace and Joe Mantegna were not considered for the list due to their numerous appearances, which caused many fans to disregard the list, especially since some recurring guest who appeared many times were on the list.[5]
