Last Exit To Springfield (with Jay Kogen)

from Four Finger Discount (Simpsons Podcast) Hosted by The Four Finger Discount Network.

Dental Plan! Dando needs braces! This week we discuss what many consider the greatest Simpsons episode of all time, "Last Exit To Springfield", with one of its co-writers, Jay Kogen! On top of the episode, we also discuss the competitiveness of the Simpsons writer's room, Dr. Hibbert's original name, creating characters like Mr. Burns and Sideshow Bob, memories of working with the likes of Sam Simon, Kelsey Grammer, Conan O'Brien and more! Plus, we find out once and for all whether Smithers was originally intended to be black (the answer may shock you!) NOTE: Proper discussion about the episode begins at the 1 hour mark.
