Hank Azaria who voices many of the characters on The Simpsons channelled his many characters on the animated series for a cover of Wicked anthem ‘Defying Gravity’.
He shared a clip of his rendition on social media, which featured the likes of Chief Wiggum and Professor Frink, ahead of the Oscars last Sunday (March 2).
Azaria wrote: “If this evening’s #Oscars opening took place in Springfield… only Professor Frink was harmed in the making of this video.”
He has worked on the show since 1989 and voiced numerous characters, including Moe Szyslak, Superintendent Chalmers, Comic Book Guy and Snake.
On the night, Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo opened the 2025 Oscars with a medley of ‘Defying Gravity’, ‘Home’ and ‘Somewhere Over The Rainbow’.
