    aThe SimpsonsA Composer Alf Clausen Fired (EXCLUSIVE)
    by Jon Burlingame

    Two-time Emmy winner Alf Clausen has been fired from oThe Simpsonso
    after 27 years of providing music for Bart, Lisa, and company.

    Clausen told Variety that he received a call from oSimpsonso producer
    Richard Sakai that the company was seeking oa different kind of musico
    and that he would no longer be scoring the longtime Fox hit.

    A Fox spokeswoman declined to comment.

    Clausen, whose Emmy record includes two wins (1997 and A98) and
    another 21 nominations for oThe Simpsonso dating back to 1992, has
    scored more than 560 episodes of the series, starting early in the
    1990-91 season. He is believed to be the most-nominated musician in
    Emmy history, with a total of 30 nominations overall.

    The article says this may be a cost-cutting measure but I'm wondering if Clausen might be insufficiently diverse for the producers. In virtue-signalling Hollywood, perhaps they decided they needed a more

    going around....

    DailyCaller has confired that Clausen was fired because he's of
    Danish heritage (Clausen is a Danish patronymic surname,
    literally meaning child of Claus) and Fox is letting it happen
    because they hate white people.

    Danish are like Americans. Really hated everywhere because
    they're all the same.

    He'd get residuals but certainly it would be cheaper than original
    music. But going a different direction with the music after nearly
    three decades is just bizarre.

    rCyThe SimpsonsrCO Composer Alf Clausen Fired (EXCLUSIVE)
    by Jon Burlingame

    Two-time Emmy winner Alf Clausen has been fired from rCLThe SimpsonsrCY
    after 27 years of providing music for Bart, Lisa, and company.

    Clausen told Variety that he received a call from rCLSimpsonsrCY producer
    Richard Sakai that the company was seeking rCLa different kind of musicrCY >> and that he would no longer be scoring the longtime Fox hit.

    A Fox spokeswoman declined to comment.

    Clausen, whose Emmy record includes two wins (1997 and rCO98) and
    another 21 nominations for rCLThe SimpsonsrCY dating back to 1992, has
    scored more than 560 episodes of the series, starting early in the
    1990-91 season. He is believed to be the most-nominated musician in
    Emmy history, with a total of 30 nominations overall.

    The article says this may be a cost-cutting measure but I'm wondering if Clausen might be insufficiently diverse for the producers. In virtue-signalling Hollywood, perhaps they decided they needed a more
    diverse composer scoring their episodes? There seems to be a lot of that going around....

    But no-one would even *know* what race/religion/etc a composer was, so
    hiring a different one would make no sense on that basis!

    Besides, if has was fired for that reason, he could sue their asses off!

    rCyThe SimpsonsrCO Composer Alf Clausen Fired (EXCLUSIVE)
    by Jon Burlingame

    Two-time Emmy winner Alf Clausen has been fired from rCLThe SimpsonsrCY
    after 27 years of providing music for Bart, Lisa, and company.

    Clausen told Variety that he received a call from rCLSimpsonsrCY producer >>> Richard Sakai that the company was seeking rCLa different kind of musicrCY >>> and that he would no longer be scoring the longtime Fox hit.

    A Fox spokeswoman declined to comment.

    Clausen, whose Emmy record includes two wins (1997 and rCO98) and
    another 21 nominations for rCLThe SimpsonsrCY dating back to 1992, has
    scored more than 560 episodes of the series, starting early in the
    1990-91 season. He is believed to be the most-nominated musician in
    Emmy history, with a total of 30 nominations overall.

    The article says this may be a cost-cutting measure but I'm wondering if
    Clausen might be insufficiently diverse for the producers. In
    virtue-signalling Hollywood, perhaps they decided they needed a more
    diverse composer scoring their episodes? There seems to be a lot of that
    going around....

    But no-one would even *know* what race/religion/etc a composer was, so >hiring a different one would make no sense on that basis!

    Besides, if has was fired for that reason, he could sue their asses off!


    He's not an employee, so employment law doesn't cover him.

    I'm amazed they're doing new music and not just cut and pasting from
    the 27 year library they've already got.

    Maybe that is what they're planning. After 27 seasons, it's unlikely
    there'd need music they haven't already used at least once.

    reading the responses made me come to the conclusion this forum should be renamed alt.right.simpsons

    My guess is someone oveerheard him indulging in a ThoughtCrime, that is, not showing enough enthusiasm at the Daily Hate Hour when the president's face came on the screen.
