Sunday’s Season 32 premiere of “The Simpsons” marked a historical moment for the long-running animated sitcom as it debuted Alex Désert as the new voice of Carl Carlson. Désert takes over the role of Homer Simpson’s close work friend, who was previously voiced by Hank Azaria. Azaria also lends his voice to other beloved “Simpsons” characters such as Chief Clancy Wiggum, Comic Book Guy, Professor Frink, Moe Szyslak and more. However, it was Azaria's as the owner of Springfield’s convenience store, Apu Nahasapeemapetilon, that began a conversation about White actors voicing people of color. Azaria eventually relented and agreed to no longer voice Apu.
