Howard Stern Interview 04.03.2017 Hank Azaria-TS.mp3

Hank Azaria made his debut appearance on the Stern Show Monday morning ahead of the premiere of “Brockmire,” his new IFC series. Naturally, Howard had a lot to cover with the Emmy-winning actor and “Simpsons” voice artist.

Hank enthusiastically spoke about his IFC sitcom, which began life as a video on Funny or Die in 2010 (below) and grew into a passion project of his. “I sent [‘Brockmire’] off to many baseball guys I thought might get a kick out of it, one being [Bob] Costas,” Hank said. “He called it the generic baseball announcer voice, which is how I think of it.”

Hank and Howard laughed about the seemingly identical styles of every baseball announcer. “They all have a professional timbre,” Hank said. “And they will all tell you, ‘Yeah, I kind of jack it up twenty percent.'” Hank pointed out that the basic comedy premise of “Brockmire” is “do these guys always sound like this?”
