Alex Désert made his debut on The Simpsons last night, replacing Hank Azaria in the role of Homer’s black friend and colleague, Carl Carlson.
“The new Carl voice actor is dead-on,” noted one commenter, while another said: “He sounds the same to me.”
While one person wrote that it “might take a while to get used to Carl’s new voice”, others were commending Désert’s mimicry.
Viewers were keen to hear what Désert would make of the role of Carl, with many posting their reactions to the change on social media. “I didn’t know how I felt originally about Carl getting a new voice actor, but after this episode I must say that I feel much better about it,” wrote one Twitter user.
