What happens

No regular characters are drawn in this moment; it is a black title card sequence of Simpsons cast credits. Against a plain black background, yellow lettering appears in turn: first 'Starring DAN CASTELLANETA' with 'Starring' in smaller script above, then 'JULIE KAVNER', then 'NANCY CARTWRIGHT', then 'YEARDLEY SMITH', and finally 'and HARRY SHEARER' with 'and' in smaller script above. Each name is centered on screen and replaces the previous one, with no movement beyond the text changing.
