The timing could not be better since Hulu started airing all-new episodes of Speilberg’s “Animaniacs” last November. The show which was introduced to millenials 30 years ago, returned with the original cast including Rob as Yakko. The show has already been picked up for a third season.
For Paulsen, the return to work is a triumph. Diagnosed with throat cancer five years ago, Paulsen only told a few friends and professional colleagues, facing the possibility that his decades long career might be over forever. But for a man of a hundred voices who suffered literally and figuratively in silence, he’s now cancer free, and back to work.
