Hey Gamers!, thanks to all those who gave us a heads up about IGN's interview with Simpsons Exectuive Producer Al Jean. He's been in television for more than twenty years now, starting off with The Tonight Show before moving to Alf and later The Tracy Ulman Show, which spawned The Simpsons. Jean would leave for a short period to launch The Critic, but unfortunately the Jon Lovitz-voiced cartoon wouldn't last, and Jean would return to Springfield. With the fourteenth season of The Simpsons done and the third season coming out on DVD, now was as good a time as any to talk to him about the long-running show and why it's taking so long to get the season DVD sets.
