Mike is a producer of The Simpsons and worked as showrunner for season three and four of the series. He also wrote ‘Stark Raving Dad’, which featured Michael Jackson under a pseudonym of John Jay Smith.
He told us that when Michael came to set he was ‘normal by Hollywood standards’, except for when he went to sing and produced a white gentleman who proceeded to sing as Michael Jackson in the episode including during ‘Lisa It’s Your Birthday.’
So of course, we had to track down the man with the voice.
This morning, Kipp Lennon joined us live from Los Angeles and told us about singing Billie Jean in front of Michael Jackson and how it all came to be.
And we discovered that he has had a part in some of the most iconic songs in The Simpsons history including Flaming Moes and The Sound of Grandpa.
You can listen back to Kipp give us a blast of Billie Jean below!
