Go Fact Yourself is returning to a live audience! Join us on Saturday June 18th at KPCC’s Crawford Family Forum in Pasadena. Tickets are free!
Get your Krusty Burgers and Duff beer ready– it’s an accidental "Simpsons" theme episode of Go Fact Yourself!
Nancy Cartwright has been the voice of Bart Simpson for more than 30 years. It’s the highlight of her extensive career as a voice actor that includes characters on shows like “Kim Possible,” “Rugrats,” and so many more. She’ll tell us about her career and her beloved backyard chicken coop. An updated version of Nancy’s book “I’m Still a 10-Year-Old Boy” is available now as an audiobook on Audible.
Al Jean worked on “The Simpsons” as a writer and executive producer for more than three decades. He became the showrunner during the third season, a position he still holds today. He’ll tell us about how the show has evolved over the years, from the Disney purchase of Fox to recording with actors over Zoom.
Our guests will answer trivia about the fine art of glass painting and baseball.
