Working as a main cast member on The Simpsons is a real sweet gig. Since 2011, the six main cast members have earned $300,000 per episode. So with 220 episodes between September 2011 and May 2021, that's $66 million each over the last 10 seasons, or an average of $6.6 million per season.
I fell in love with Bartok when I was young, I have so much respect!

Godzilla is my favorite bad movie. Hank Azaria was the best thing about it.

I loved Godzilla, and I loved you in it, but critics didn't. Go figure.
I love this man. I love him in friends as David aswell and in the Smurfs. very talented man.
His snake voice kinda reminds me of Cory Taylor’s voice 😂

What a humble talented guy. I have always liked him and thought him attractive .
Mystery men is one of my favorite movies so funny

Of all the characters Hank’s voiced I never would have guessed the one closest to his natural speaking voice would be comic book guy
His natural voice is the closest to the ponytail guy.
My friends and I used to attend Bar Trivia Nights at our local bar (lots of bars do this, not just this bar). This one, in particular, was a really small bar, but their Trivia Night was really well-done so it quickly developed a following and eventually became super popular throughout the city. Due to this, the competition was steadily rising by the day… and had actually become extremely challenging.
Anyway, one night we went, participated, were doing better than normal… and before the host read the last question, we discover that we were currently tied for 1st place. One final question would determine the winner.
That question was "Who voiced "Comic Book Guy" on the Simpsons?"
I remember thinking, "Really? That's pretty easy for a final question…". Yet, we ended up being the only team to answer the question correctly. Furthermore, I was the only member of my team who knew the answer.
So, sorry that I was the only one who knew, Hank… but, at the same time, we won Trivia because of you… because of you and your greatness.
So… Thank You, Hank… For helping us realize our drunken trivia dreams!
It must be great living in his head!
I really liked his role in Godzilla. He and Reno were great. It had a really good cast, but Emmerich can ruin pretty much anything.
Only one question I want to ask Hank Azaria: "Minsk is the capital of …?"
