A very expansive selection boiled down to a top 5. It is no wonder it has taken us awhile to figure this one out.
5. Patrick Stewart - Number One: He plays the leader of the Stone Cutters, Springfield division. I have always admired his voice and it fits perfectly here. "And now the paddling of the swollen ass... with paddles!"
4. Bob Newhart - Himself: I believe the episode is title Bart the Fink. It is the one in which Krusty fakes his death to escape a large debt. At the funeral service, Troy McClure introduces Bob who happens to be wandering around the cemetery and is forced to say something. I read somewhere that Bob's mumbled speech was mostly ad-libbed which I don't know how you could write for him anyway. It is classic Newhart and it always makes me chuckle.
3. Micheal Jackson - Leon Kompowsky: This was an uncredited role to keep Micheal secret. He plays a man in a mental institution that thinks he is Micheal Jackson. I still remember this being like the first BIG guest star on the show. It includes a nice song put together to cheer up Lisa on her birthday. The twist ending puts a nice spin of reality on the whole thing.
2. Kelsey Grammer - Sideshow Bob: Every time Kelsey comes to do Sideshow Bob, it has been a good show. As stated by my other list, Cape Feare is one of my favorite episodes. The situations Bob finds himself in like a field of rakes and other slapstick scenarios bring out that grumble that is second to only D'oh!. Second favorite Bob episode is where he threatens the town from the air base with a nuclear bomb.
1. Phil Hartman - Troy McClure: You could probably debate this one but Phil was never officially a member of the show. He supplied many voices but none stick out like a good Troy McClure moment. "You might remember me from..." His shining episode was when he married Selma or was it Patty to heighten his career.
