Lindsey Naegle (voiced by Tress MacNeille is TV exeutive lady.
First Appearances
Lindsey Naegle (voiced by Tress MacNeille) first appeared in the episode “The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show.” In this episode her character was simply referred to as “Female Network Executive,” and had brunette hair instead of her usual blonde hair. She later returned in “Girly Edition.” In “They Saved Lisa’s Brain,” the character was introduced as Lindsey Naegle, a member of the Springfield Mensa Society and head of Advanced Capital Ventures, specializing in synergy and books on how to cheat at bridge.
Alcholicism
She is an alcoholic (she says so matter-of-factly to Homer when she appears in Moe’s Tavern). Also, in Days of Wine and D'oh'ses, it's revealed she's the head of the Alcoholics Anonymous branch in Springfield, and she says "So we all know why we're here - to be sober .. and to network!"
Jobs
Over the course of the series, Lindsey has popped up in several capacities, seemingly working at a different job in every episode. Job titles have included the aforementioned network executive, as well as marketing researcher, financial planner (making a point that she wasn’t a financial consultant), public relations consultant, venture capitalist, advertising executive, and executive with the Child Development Group. After she introduces herself (again) to Homer and Marge in the episode “Blame It on Lisa”, Marge says, “We’ve met you many times, Ms. Naegle; why do you keep switching jobs?” To which Lindsey flatly replies, “I’m a sexual predator.”
Love Life
In Large Marge it is shown she and Cookie Kwan are friends, and are both infatuated with Homer.
Naegle once dated Ned Flanders, but the date was interrupted by Naegle receiving a fax (from a fax machine strapped to her leg) which indicated she had been indicted. She is an enthusiastic practitioner of the childfree lifestyle, and at one point spearheads a movement to make Springfield less child-friendly. Once romantically linked with Judge Roy Snyder, she is a graduate from the Wharton Business School. She is a stereotypical upper management executive, and her ventures almost always promote the business buzzword “synergy.”
Other Info
In the episode You Kent Always Say What You Want it is revealed that she is a member of the Springfield Republican Party, and has probably been sleeping with Krusty the Clown. Her recent appearance as a member of the Republican Party seems to contradict her enthusiasm for a child-free, self-centered lifestyle which she espousded in “Marge vs. Singles, Seniors, Childless Couples and Teens, and Gays.” In this episode she also says she dreams of a world with "F words" on network TV.
