It’s time for the Animanicast! Here’s episode seventy three-b featuring listeners’ stories of meeting the voice of Yakko, Rob Paulsen!
Join your hosts Joey, Nathan and Kelly in the “Animanicast!” A podcast dedicated to the classic 90’s cartoon show Animaniacs! Today’s episode comes out on Rob Paulsen’s birthday, so we decided to dedicate an episode to our memories of meeting Rob as well as sharing the stories our audience has about meeting Rob.
Animanicast #73b: Rob Paulsen is One of the Nicest People on Earth!
Each and every week, your hosts revisit an episode of the series in the order in which they first premiered.

Happy Birthday Rob!
Before sharing voice mails and emails from listeners, Joey and Nathan share some of their memories of first meeting Rob Paulsen back on April 9, 1995. Rob, along with Tress MacNielle and Jess Harnell were touring around to different Warner Bros. stores and stopped by Tucson. Nathan recalls a little bit, but Joey is able to fill in some of the gaps. Nathan remembers the actors singing “Happy Birthday” to him in character and being a little nervous. Joey remembers talking to Rob about voice acting and Rob going above and beyond to make sure that he and his siblings had a great experience.
