This week on Toon’d In!, Jim Cummings welcomes the iconic, hilarious, and unmistakably animated Nancy Cartwright! Best known as the voice of Bart Simpson, Nancy has given life to one of the most legendary characters in TV history—and that’s just the beginning.

In this vibrant and wide-ranging episode, Nancy takes us behind the yellow curtain to share her journey from aspiring actress to voiceover royalty. With decades on The Simpsons and countless other roles under her belt, she opens up about building a lasting career in animation, the creative chaos of early recording sessions, and what it really takes to “stay in character” for over 30 years.

Jim and Nancy swap stories about the early days of voice acting, the evolving world of animation, and how it feels to be part of pop culture history. From Bart’s first “Eat my shorts!” to the ongoing legacy of Springfield, this conversation is packed with laughs, heart, and voiceover gold.

🎙️ Curious what it’s like to voice a cultural icon, build a legendary career behind the mic, and still find joy in every line? Then buckle up, man—this episode is a must-listen for Simpsons fans, voice acting nerds, and anyone who’s ever dreamed of being a cartoon. Get Toon’d In!
