The Simpsons <\/em>is finally replacing one of its veteran voice actors and thankfully, no AI is involved. According to Entertainment Weekly<\/em><\/a><\/span>, <\/em>in the future the nefarious, beanie-wearing bully Jimbo Jones will be voiced by MadTV<\/em> alum Mo Collins.<\/p>\n

Collins, who spent six seasons on the raunchy \u201890s sketch comedy show, will replace Pamela Hayden who retired from the show<\/a><\/span> in November after being with the show from the beginning. In addition to voicing Jimbo and an assortment of other characters, Hayden also voiced Bart Simpson sidekick Milhouse, but there have been no reports of Collins taking over those duties as well. In fact, EW <\/em>clarified that a replacement voice actor for Milhouse will be announced later in the show\u2019s 36th season, which is currently airing.<\/p>\n

If you have any reservations about Collins stepping into the cartoon chaos of The Simpsons<\/em>, then you must not be familiar with her game. This is the woman who played an overbearing mother who barked orders between grunts, a nasal-voiced Midwestern woman who sounded like starting a car engine, and a disoriented drug addict on MadTV. <\/em>If that show was before your time (or past your bedtime), you\u2019ve probably heard her as difficult Pawnee newscaster (and pain in Leslie Knope\u2019s ass) Joan Callamezzo\u00a0<\/strong>on Parks and Recreation<\/em>. Safe to say, Jimbo Jones won\u2019t miss a beat with Collins on board.<\/p>\n

Collins replacing Hayden also shows that The Simpsons<\/em> are yet to be in the business of replacing its voice actors with AI, a concern raised by Hank Azaria<\/a><\/span>, who plays the second-most Simpsons <\/em>characters of any actor. <\/p>\n

Collins\u2019s first appearance as Jimbo Jones will be on this week\u2019s episode, \u201cP.S. I Hate You,\u201d which airs on Sunday, April 13.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
