Harry Shearer Leaves ‘The Simpsons’

Shearer announced his departure from the Fox show on Thursday with a pair of tweets after rumors started to swirl that he was hesitating to extend his contract through the 27th and 28th seasons of The Simpsons because of a disagreement over merchandising rights. According to Sheerer, he wanted the freedom to pursue work outside of The Simpsons.

Shearer didn’t go into further detail about the contract dispute, but did thank his fans for supporting him in the matter.

Shearer has been a member of The Simpsons cast since 1989, voicing upwards of 21 characters. His most notable characters are tycoon Montgomery C. Burns, neighbor Ned Flanders and principal Seymour Skinner.
