"Simpsons Movie" Without Conan O'BrienPosted: July 18th, 2007 by WorstPreviews.com Staff

In an earlier interview, "Simpsons" creator Matt Groening gloated at the fact that all the old writers were brought back for "The Simpsons Movie." But according to an Entertainment Weekly article, Conan O'Brien was never invited.
O'Brien was a writer on "The Simpsons" from 1991 to 1994 and is credited with writing four episodes, including "Marge vs. The Monorail," which he considers his favorite. When O'Brien finally moved on to new projects, he ended up leaving on good terms.
Writer/producer Al Jean responded by stating that Conan would have simply "laughed" off the invite to work on the movie. But when Conan got his chance to comment on the subject, it turned out that he would have loved to be apart of it.
"I cleared my talk show schedule for a year at great financial cost to myself, got an apartment right outside the Fox lot, and told them I was ready to report to work," jokes O'Brien. "All I heard back was that they were having trouble finding me a parking space, and then they stopped returning my calls altogether. I am stunned and disappointed.... Truth be told, I worry that the Simpsons-writing portion of my brain has been destroyed after 14 years of talking to Lindsay Lohan and that guy from One Tree Hill, so maybe it's all for the best."
"The Simpsons Movie" is scheduled to hit theaters on July 27th.
