John Ortved, a contributing editorial associate at Vanity Fair, takes you into the inner sanctum of The Simpsons: An Uncensored, Unauthorized History. Hear how the show (celebrating its 20th year) grew from a controversial cult favorite to a mainstream powerhouse thanks to a group of intense, thoughtful, and creative people who came together to make something unique in the history of American culture. Animators, writers, actors, directors, producers, executives and celebrity guest stars—as much a dysfunctional but loving family as the show’s stars themselves—are all here. It’s an intriguing yet hilarious tale full of betrayal, ambition, and love.
