    ‘The Simpsons’ Composer Alf Clausen Fired (EXCLUSIVE)
    by Jon Burlingame

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

    Clausen told Variety that he received a call from
    “Simpsons” producer Richard Sakai that the company was
    seeking “a different kind of music” 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
    ’98) and another 21 nominations for “The Simpsons”
    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....


    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.

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

    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.

    I'm sure the 'new direction' they have planned involves that cut-and-paste computer generated "music" that permeates TV and film these days.

    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.

    A Fox spokeswoman declined to comment.

    Clausen, whose Emmy record includes two wins (1997 and ’98) and
    another 21 nominations for “The Simpsons” 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.

    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.
