    When I heard Harry do his voices for Smithers and Burns on Would I Lie to You for the first time (it's different hearing the voices directly from the actual actors without seeing the cartoons talking if you know what I mean!), I was sat here like "Okay I wanna hear that again!" Seems that Lee had the same reaction as me! I googled the cast list for The Simpsons to see how many voices Harry actually did, and throughout his entire career on The Simpsons, he has done 36 different voices!!!

    What gave it away was his descriptions of the impressions. Obama is very bad at doing impressions, so there's no way he could've won against Bill Clinton and Bono. Furthermore, saying that Bono's was too breathy is hard to believe when he was against Bill Clinton, who has assumed a very airy voice.
