Wow!
Harry was featured in an interview with the Associated Press, and from there - it's spreading like a Winter Cold across the globe!
Here's a sneak peek:
Shearer, who began his career as a child actor... keeps a multiplicity of projects
under way. He hosts his own signature channel on the "My
Damn Channel" comedy Web site.
"Matt [Groening] has a satirical, anti-authority streak," says Shearer. "From the
beginning, 'The Simpsons' was taking the side of the family against all
the authority figures and institutions that buffeted them in the modern
world. Certainly, that resonated for me." |
To celebrate - we're asking all of our readers/fans to dress up as Ned and attend church this Sunday (JUST KIDDING). In all seriousness, check out some of the awesome articles going around on the web with Harry's exclusive interview and don't make plans this Sunday evening. This week's episode ("Once Upon a Time in Springfield") will be one you won't want to miss!
(It doesn't hurt that they're mentioning My Damn Channel, either... whoo-hoo!!)
We're getting into the Damned Christmas Spirit with the Dark Lord of Hell while getting our groove on to some Hellacious tunes... Mmmm hmm...
Head on over with us to Harry Shearer's Channel for a dose of Devilish Holiday Cheer starring Judith Owen's jazztastic vocals (so haunting you'd think she was blessed by the Devil himself) and the GREAT Harry Shearer's soft, fiery rhythm on the upright bass.
Take off your sweater and boots, the heat is finally on this Christmas at My Damn Channel!
