It was super clever and the fact that I'm a grandma, there you go.” She's been with “The Simpsons” now for half of her life, so it's not surprising that each has had small influences on each other. “I like to pop in and out of Bart or Nelson or Ralph and make people laugh in life,” Cartwright said.
He is voiced by Dan Castellaneta and first appeared, along with the rest of the Simpsons, in The Tracey Ullman Show short "Good Night" on April 19, 1987. Homer was created by the cartoonist Matt Groening while he was waiting in the lobby of producer James L. Brooks's office.
For younger Simpsons fans who weren't around when season 1 aired, going back and watching those early episodes can be quite a shocking experience, especially due to the changes in Homer. Here's why Dan Castellaneta changed Homer's voice after season 1.

What happened to the original Marge Simpson voice?
Marge's voice has aged considerably throughout the series as Kavner has gotten older, and the higher register of Marge's voice in the earliest seasons had to be adjusted as it began to strain Kavner's voice.
Emmy Award-winning actress Nancy Cartwright is best known as the voice of “Bart Simpson,” but she also voices “Ralph Wiggum,” “Nelson Muntz,” “Todd Flanders” and various other residents of Springfield.
Shearer and the other members of the cast, including Dan Castellaneta, who voices Homer Simpson, Julie Kavner (Marge), Nancy Cartwright (Bart), Yeardley Smith (Lisa) and Hank Azaria (Moe), have been receiving $400,000 per episode since a salary re-negotiation in 2008.
Ms. Cartwright does the voices of Bart Simpson, Nelson Muntz, Todd Flanders, Ralph Wiggum, Kearney Zzyzwicz, Database and more. In the 1998 remake of Godzilla, she and fellow Simpsons voice cast members Hank Azaria and Harry Shearer appeared. In 2000, she published an autobiography, My Life as a 10-Year-Old Boy.
In casting, Cartwright originally planned to audition for the role of Lisa, while Yeardley Smith tried out for Bart. Smith's voice was considered too high for a boy, so she was given the role of Lisa. Likewise, Cartwright found Lisa uninteresting, so she instead auditioned for Bart, which she thought was a better role.
