Fans were excited to hear earlier this year that Matt Groening is among 25 individuals who will be honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2012.
On September 24th he was honored in Los Angeles by the Hammer Museum for his long outstanding work on The Simpsons. The star-studded gala raised 1.7 million dollars for the museum and honored artist Lari Pittman as well. Highlights of the event included a video tribute from Conan O’Brien (a former Simpsons staff writer) and an introduction from Neil Patrick Harris.
Congratulations Matt!
A date has not yet been announced for his 2012 Hollywood Walk of Fame star unveiling.
The Simpsons got its own star back in 2000.
