Rob Paulsen lends his voice to Animaniacs coming to Hulu later this year, and his memoir Voice Lessons is currently on sale.

Rob playing the long game; I bet he gave Carl the lazy L affectation just so he could go on Vanity Fair and roast impressionists who didn’t have it.

I wish they did ones where voice actors try to do impressions of another actor’s character(s).

Pinky and the Brain was my favorite show as a kid. It was one of those rare gems that was clever and funny in a sea of stupidity called the kids channel. Thank you!

I love this but it would have been nice to have had any of the channels featured in this actually mentioned in the description or have been notified to spread the word that they were featured in this. That being said I loved that Rob Paulsen finally seen my Yakko and Dr. Scratchansniff impression! at 8:35 Thank you so much Rob!!!

Backstage at Zara Larsson’s Viral Lollapalooza Show | Soundcheck | Vogue

LAVISHLY DEMURE

An exclusive behind-the-scenes look at how Zara Larsson prepares for her viral Lollapalooza performance. As the Swedish pop star gets ready for one of her biggest gigs yet, a show-stopping concert at Chicago’s iconic Lollapalooza music festival, she gives us an intimate look at her day. We begin eight hours before showtime in Zara’s hotel room, where she does vocal warm-ups, eats breakfast, and reminisces about the last time she played Lollapalooza, ten years ago. Once she arrives at the festival grounds, Zara gets into glam, drawing inspiration from a colorful, sea-dwelling crawfish. After spending time in hair and makeup, she heads backstage for a few final rehearsals with her dancers before taking the stage.
