Hank Azaria to Play Apple CEO Tim Cook in 'Super Pumped' TV Series About Uber

[jntdroid]

Beat me to it. Academy award worthy performance in that movie. DO. NOT. CROTH. THITH. LINE!

YES.

Such a great scene

 

[WWPD]

Jack Black as Steve Wozniak, make it happen.

 

[mariusignorello]

Oh god, this is Tim’s greatest dream come true, this is going to be a disaster of self-indulgence

And I’m sure the actor has been given about as much creative freedom as a DMV worker.

 

[PlayUltimate]

I know this is random, but one of my favorite Hank Azaria roles is Night at the Museum 2...

Run Fatboy Run.

 

[JoeInMilwaukee]

As long as he can say "Good morning!" in the same way that Tim does during keynote events.

 

[Chargr]

Why is there a need for an Uber show? It is not like it’s been around that long for one/

 

[H3LL5P4WN]

I'm a little surprised at leaving off credits for his multitude of characters portrayed on The Simpsons.

 

[H3LL5P4WN]

I'm sorry, but all I can see is his Agador-Spartacus roll in The Bird Cage. (That's Hank, not Tim.)

Sweat and Sour Peso Soup.

 

[MacLoveMacHate]

Considering the vocal range of Hank, he'll need to crank it down a few notches for this role.

Uber is a ride-hailing app, not ride-sharing. Ride-sharing apps allow cars to be rented out ad-hoc, similar to how bikeshare works.

Ride-sharing refers to app-based services that let people book a shared shuttle according to AP, which means Uber and Lyft are also ride-sharing apps given their ability to carpool with multiple people. What you are referring to is called car sharing or short term car rentals.

 

[macrumors3131]

Will he also do Google's CEO?

 

[macpro2000]

Abu was better than anything he could do Tim. Sad he apologized.

 

[carrrrrlos]

Ah, too bad he didn’t voice Montgomery Burns - that would have been a perfect CEO voice.

 

[Westside guy]

will he have to travel to minsk?

It's a long way from Murmansk to Minsk.

 

[Boris Bronson]

As if Cook’s ego couldn’t get any bigger…

 

[alexandr]

It's a long way from Murmansk to Minsk.

but all roads lead to kurski station

Hank Azaria is animation voice legend and an underrated actor. He blows the doors off all his roles.

Thanks for the clarification. In this case ride-hailing is still more reflective of their business model. Ride-sharing should be reserved for services that exclusively offer that model. The AP tweet makes a point of referring to them as ride-hail to make this distinction clear.

+1 for Agador Spartacus in The Birdcage!

 

[bored]

He looks nothing like cook

Azaria is a voice actor. Makeup and a wig will handle the rest.

 

[ksgant]

In a surprise move, Hank Azaria will use his Moe Szyslak voice as Tim Cook, even though Cook sounds nothing like the cartoon character. "It's an artistic choice", said Mr. Azaria.

Most importantly he was on Herman’s Head.

Talented guy but he annoyed me when he decided to stop voicing Apu on the Simpsons because of the woke cancel disease.

 

[ArrayDecay]

News about this new show excites me not at all.

Talented guy but he annoyed me when he decided to stop voicing Apu on the Simpsons because of the woke cancel disease.

IMO The Simpsons went on cruise control about twenty years ago when they prioritized guest stars over edgy and creative humor.
