Entertainment Weekly reports that during an interview with The Simpson’s creator Matt Groening at last weekend’s Comic-Con in San Diego, the man behind the iconic FOX Television series was asked who was on his “wish list” of people he’d like to work with. Without missing a beat Groening replied, “Phil Hendrie.” Told of Groening’s comment, The Talk Radio Network syndicated personality and KFI/Los Angeles weekend host said, “Matt was the very first person in television to reach out to me 13 years ago. He was kind and encouraging. He’s a hero of mine.” Hendrie (pictured) has regularly voiced characters on other FOX animated series, including King of the Hill and Futurama. His nightly TRN talk show airs on over 115 stations nationwide.
