So let's open the "Simpsons" wing of the Pantheon™ and take a look at those guest stars who deserve Pantheon™ status for their outstanding work on the show.
We must start with Albert Brooks, who was the original guest star and the only guest whose dialog is improvised. He wins for Cowboy Bob, manager of Cowboy Bob's RV Roundup, and for Hank Scorpio, CEO of the Globex Corporation.
Hank: Uh, hi, Homer. What can I do for you?
Homer: Sir, I need to know where I can get some business hammocks.
Hank: Hammocks? My goodness, what an idea. Why didn't I think of that? Hammocks! Homer, there's four places. There's the Hammock Hut, that's on third.
Homer: Uh-huh.
Hank: There's Hammocks-R-Us, that's on third too. You got Put-Your-Butt-There?
Homer: Mm-Hmm.
Hank: That's on third. Swing Low, Sweet Chariot... Matter of fact, they're all in the same complex; it's the hammock complex on third.
Homer: Oh, the hammock district.
Hank: That's right.
Danny DeVito, as Homer's brother Herb
Barry White ... "I love the sexy slither of a lady snake."
Leonard Nimoy, for saving the day in "Marge vs. The Monorail"
George Harrison ...
George: Hello, Homer! I'm George Harrison.
Homer: [incredulous] Oh my God. Oh my God! Where did you get that brownie?
George: Over there. There's a big pile of them.
Homer: [Laughs crazily, then devours a whole bunch]Oh, ma-an...
George: Well, what a nice fellow.
Robert Goulet, for singing the Batman verison of "Jingle Bells" in Bart's casino
more to come later ...
