Page "Troy McClure" Paragraph 10

After Hartman's death in 1998, rather than replace him with a new voice actor, the production staff retired McClure, along with Hartman's other recurring character, Lionel Hutz, from the show.

McClure last appeared in the season ten episode " Bart the Mother ", which was dedicated to Hartman.

Before his death, Hartman had often expressed an interest in starring in a live-action film about McClure, which would be penned by some of the show's writers.

He noted that he was " looking forward to his live-action movie, publicizing Betty Ford appearances.

" Matt Groening later told Empire that the idea never " got further than enthusiasm ", but " would have been really fun ".
