- This article is about the guest star. For the character, see Thomas Pynchon (character).
Thomas Pynchon (born May 8, 1937) is an author who has voiced himself twice on The Simpsons. He first appeared in "Diatribe of a Mad Housewife" wearing a bag over his head in homage of his sensitivity of showing his face in public. He reappears in "All's Fair in Oven War" wearing the same bag over his face eating one of Marge's wings. He also makes a background appearance at the Gore Vidal meeting in "Moe'N'a Lisa" wearing the same bag.
Although well known for his somewhat reclusive attitude towards appearing in media, Pynchon accepted the chance to appear in the show, as he was a big fan of the show. Upon receiving the scripts, he refused to say one line where he calls Homer a “fat ass”, saying “Homer is my role model and I won’t speak ill of him.”
