The voice actor behind Milhouse Van Houten – Bart Simpson’s very uncool good friend – is stepping away after 35 years on the present.
Pamela Hayden, who additionally voiced Jimbo Jones, Rod Flanders, Janey and Malibu Stacy, will log off from The Simpsons on 24 November in a Treehouse of Horror episode.
“It’s been an honour and a joy to have worked on such a funny, witty, and groundbreaking show,” the 70-year-old stated in an announcement.

Present creator Matt Groening stated: “Pamela gave us tons of laughs with Milhouse, the hapless kid with the biggest nose in Springfield.
“She made Milhouse hilarious and actual, and we’ll miss her.”
Milhouse first appeared in a Butterfinger business in 1989 and was named after former US president Richard Milhous Nixon.
Groening stated he adopted it “because that was the most unfortunate name a kid could have”.
The nearsighted character was typically the butt of most jokes and bullied mercilessly by Nelson.
In a single episode, Bart obtained Milhouse positioned on the America’s Most Wished checklist.
