“The time has come for me to hang up my microphone, but how do I say goodbye to The Simpsons?……not easily,” Hayden stated. “It’s been an honor and a joy to have worked on such a funny, witty, and groundbreaking show, and to give voice to Milhouse and Jimbo Jones, Rod Flanders, Janey, Malibu Stacy, and many others.” And now that her time in these roles is done. new voices will be coming in to bring these classic characters to life in future episodes.
