[audience laughter]
James Lipton - Host: What is your country of origin?

Hank Azaria: It is the Kwik-E-Mart.
James Lipton - Host: That makes it sound like a convenience store. How do you make it truly convenient for your customers?

Trivia:

When asked why the Simpsons have yellow skin, Yeardley Smith jokes that Matt Groening thought it would be funny if viewers thought the color on their television was off. Groening actually created the characters' iconic skin color to attract channel surfers.
