alex kanyima It's not a rumour, the writers explicitly said that in a talk they had with Conan a few years ago... I think the segment is called "serious jibber jabber with the Simpsons writers" or something along those lines... It's on Conan's youtube channel, but I don't recall at what point of the interview they said it, it's like 2 hours long, and very entertaining... if you like the Simpsons, I highly recommend you watch it.
Conan O' Brien has an interview up with former Simpsons writers where they say she hated The Simpsons from the get-go, and never wanted to be a part of it. Then she sued them for a share of the profits when the show became super popular. I watched a documentary on Matt Groening recently and it seemed like James L. Brooks was the person who approached Matt and wanted him to create an animated show. Tracy didn't seem to have any involvement with it at all.
+alex kanyima well there was a Conan roundtable with all the Simpson writers and they said it there as well. So it's HIGHLY likely, I don't think they would lie, brother.
Not rumored, she would have been on an episode in the last 20 years, but she hasn't because of her poor relationship with Groening and the writers, she filed a failed lawsuit, trying to collect from the shows popularity, but she had no creative input in the show.
But it's hypocritical here in this interview to act so pretentious and say if it wasn't for her, Simpsons wouldn't exist. The show made audience laugh harder than any crap she came up with. Even without here, the show would still be a hit.
I liked her TV show and very much enjoyed The Simpson clips. Once the The Simpsons got their own show, I started watching and never stopped. As good as they were, who would have thought they would have lasted so long--and a cartoon no less. Too bad if she didn't recognize that talent from the start.
Tracey is a fine lady and I hope that she is doing well :). That smile of hers is timeless. Just as nice as when she was dancing in the supermarket in the music video.
+theylied1776 She actually tried to sue for rights, but it was settled in favour for Matt Groening. Probably why she has a infected relationship to it..
Shane Cadden Under American law she cannot claim residuals from The Simpsons because she's not a creator or an executive producer. She still gets royalties from the episode that aired under her show on Fox, but that's it. At most she probably gets paid for 12 episodes?
According to the original writing team of the Simpsons, Tracy Ullman had no interest in the cartoon and didn’t have time or didn’t want to do any voice acting on the cartoon shorts. She did sue them later though.
if her show hadn't of existed and her very astute choices for supporting cast for her sketch show (Julie karver, Dan Castellaneta) hadn't of been around to offer their voices to the then fledgling cut away animation segment... the Simpsons never would've happened. so In a very large way she was sort of an unwitting indirect creator of the Simpsons. brilliant comedian. very talented and not nearly known as widely as she should be in England or the UK.
L1am21 Matt groeing wasn't actively doing anything relating to what would become"the Simpsons" prior to being approached to develop something for Tracy's show. the creator of the Simpsons was matt but the events that spurred him to develope the Simpsons and ultimately provided the venue for its first outings were all Tracy. she is correct when she says she figuratively "breast fed" them. they wouldn't exist without her show or the exposure it gave the Simpsons vehicle. she didn't have any creative input into the show or contribute to its development in any literal sense however.
Delilah McDonnell yeaaa but the writers said she wanted off her show so if it wasnt for those original writers seeing how this sketches were making people laugh and fighting for it to get an animation series we might have never gotten the simpsons cause the writers could of just said you know she wants them off her show this thing is dead that would of been the end of it
She's huge in the UK. Just spent 2 months in London for business, saw billboards of her all over the place. Her "Camilla" and her Judy Dench are hilarious. As are all of her other characters. She is one of the wealthiest performers in the world, according to Forbes and Wall Street Journal. I agree, she is brilliant. Love her work and look forward to much more.
Tracy Ullman is one of the richest people in Hollywood because to this day she still collects royalties off anything Simpson’s related. That was the price of being on her show.
an incredible talent....and Fox (who was the actual Defendant in the ONLY suit taken) should have given her her tribute... which was only a fraction of the royalties..... she gave their golden egg prime time exposue.
"The Simpsons" were created by Tracey Ullman in much the same way that she was the writer of her hit song, "They Don't Know." (Not at all, for those uninformed.)
I'm wondering do the actual Simpsons Ullman shorts only exist as inserts within the Tracy Ullman show? or would Matt Groening, Klasky-Csupo or even David Silverman retain the original master recordings for the shorts?
*controversial statement klaxon* Whereas anybody from the island of Ireland should be free to accept or deny the Queens honours, I believe that ALL should begin the answer with: "Yes and I accepted it/No, I respectfully declined it". Shows an awareness of the complexity of Irish living and respect of the divide for their neighbours
Hey Tracey, tell us how you nurtured those little devils, the Simpson characters? I hear from the Simpson writers that you had zero input on the Simpson shorts, you hated them and wanted them off your show. It turns out people laughed harder at the Simpson characters than your odd little characters. When the Simpson show became a hit you tried to sue for royalties? I absolutely love your honesty and hutzpah.
LOLOL., she is uber famous in England and Europe, still famous in the states, she's one of the wealthiest entertainers in the world, her latest show has rave reviews etc...Not sure where your lies are coming from, or your delusions, but I'm betting you hate seeing a woman so successful. I would love to see where you're at when you hit your late fifties, maybe still living in mommy's basement? LOL, pathetic mgtow fuck.
If you look back to conan o brien sit down with writers of simpsons they say she hated show and sued them😤, dnt try take any credit for it here now you aint simpsons character what a !@#$
If she kept doing the Marge voice she would be 50 times richer, but not funnier because it probably would have sucked the life out of her ... I love Tracey.
Skip to 2:55 to hear her talking about The Simpsons which is what you came here for.
i wish i read the comments first the graham Norton show is a load of balls
Gratitude @Rain Drifter I definitely skipped ahead
I remember hearing the old writers of the Simpsons say that she hated the show
+john fru I think I heard the same
+Foisy Studios alot of people saying that I disagree

john fru but why she hate the simpsons ?
***** because of the popularity ?

Conan was a Simpsons writer too
You can add the fact that she wanted to cancel the anime from her show !
I've heard she HATED the Simpsons..
It is rumored
+alex kanyima well there was a Conan roundtable with all the Simpson writers and they said it there as well. So it's HIGHLY likely, I don't think they would lie, brother.

Ron Johnson but it was'nt for the Tracy Ullman show, we might not see The Simpsons
But it's hypocritical here in this interview to act so pretentious and say if it wasn't for her, Simpsons wouldn't exist. The show made audience laugh harder than any crap she came up with. Even without here, the show would still be a hit.
Tracey's first show was amazing. Lots of talent, lots of fun, and those little yellow people. Wish I could get recordings of some of the episodes.
I liked her TV show and very much enjoyed The Simpson clips. Once the The Simpsons got their own show, I started watching and never stopped. As good as they were, who would have thought they would have lasted so long--and a cartoon no less. Too bad if she didn't recognize that talent from the start.

Now she loves The Simpsons. Hahaha. One of the original writers for the shorts admitted she hated it, and wanted it of her show.
Omg that Julie impression was amazing, bet the audience thought she was doing a mediocre Marge voice.
hahaha she calls it her child, she hated the animated.
I bet Tracy with you she would have had a creators credit for the Simpsons.
Because if she did she would be worth half a billion dollars right now
+theylied1776 She actually tried to sue for rights, but it was settled in favour for Matt Groening. Probably why she has a infected relationship to it..
+theylied1776 I think she might get some sort of payment from it, she's the 2nd richest actress in the UK so that's probably why
Shane Cadden Under American law she cannot claim residuals from The Simpsons because she's not a creator or an executive producer.
She still gets royalties from the episode that aired under her show on Fox, but that's it.
At most she probably gets paid for 12 episodes?
+Shane Cadden no, there was no settlement. It went to trial, deliberated by a jury, and was denied her claim.
she worth 100 million dollars, whatevers royalties she has i want a piece of it
According to the original writing team of the Simpsons, Tracy Ullman had no interest in the cartoon and didn’t have time or didn’t want to do any voice acting on the cartoon shorts. She did sue them later though.
The only other person who can do a half decent Marge is Tracey Ullman
She was also in little lulu show too
graham Norton needs to bring together the original Who's Line is it Anyway cast back together.
Whose

no mate its matt Groening creation.

The short clips on her show are a hundred times funnier than anything in the last 10-15 seasons of the Simpsons.
True! Tracy Ullman had nothing to do with it!
Yeah tbh after season 10 the Simpsons went downhill there or still some good episode’s but most of them are just ok
its a fashion statement dad
Tracey should be damed
She's aging well. What a cute lady.
That is incredible that Tracey's own show would be eclipsed by a little skit they had called The Simpsons. No wonder she's worth $115 Million!
She gets no royalties because it wasn't her show
She actually hated the show, because the shorts outshowed her poorly prepared crap.
And she is my cheerleader because she doesn’t give up on earth her name is Tracey Ullman
As much as it is annoying seeing her trying to take the credit here her Julie impression is spot on
Tracy Ullman is one of the richest people in Hollywood because to this day she still collects royalties off anything Simpson’s related. That was the price of being on her show.
Still so gorgeous
Tracy is still beautiful.
wow ullman looks amazing..
Tracy Ulman hated the Simpson interrupting her show.
They need to change the name to Order of the British Entertainment, as these don't seem to go to anyone outside of entertainment anymore.
She still gets 25 percent of all Simpsons revenues.
an incredible talent....and Fox (who was the actual Defendant in the ONLY suit taken) should have given her her tribute... which was only a fraction of the royalties..... she gave their golden egg prime time exposue.

Fox owns them if simpsons want to use them they can cause they are still with fox.

Tracey should get together with Pete Best to talk about what it's like to have been kicked off the superstardom elevator at the ground floor.
LOLOL., she is uber famous in England and Europe, still famous in the states, she's one of the wealthiest entertainers in the world, her latest show has rave reviews etc...Not sure where your lies are coming from, or your delusions, but I'm betting you hate seeing a woman so successful.

LOL, pathetic mgtow fuck.
Tracey Ullman needlessly sued the fuck out of Matt Groening.
I wish everything came with comments at the bottom that let you know what you just heard is bullshit.
Did not know that 😶😎
If you look back to conan o brien sit down with writers of simpsons they say she hated show and sued them😤, dnt try take any credit for it here now you aint simpsons character what a !@#$
Tracey Ullman she is my girlfriend for life but she doesn’t know
Utterly Brilliant Ullman The point she makes about Christian's being treated as nutters while all other faiths are fine is so true.
Fire Mrs Nesbit!
But she hated it. She still uses the "i breastfed them".
...was this before or after hair transplant? Just to be sure..I'm talking about James Nesbitt
After.
Its fitting she hated it being British since it's such an American staple
Tracey Ullman was a babe back in the day......i love her.
What day was that? She was plain from the day she did those videos.
Tracey ullman she is my girlfriend
what's an OBE?
