Bill Morrison: I not only think that this is the biggest audience but the biggest panel we've ever done.

Phil LaMarr: Hi, Im Phil LaMarr and I play the voices of Hermes and Bubblegum Tate.

Dan Glover: Dan Glover, writer.
Maurice LaMarche: Maurice LaMarche I play Kif, Morbo and in this episode I played the swedish robot.
John DiMaggio: I'm John DiMaggio you already know that cause I came up here and made a big jerk out of myself.
Billy West: Hello, I'm Bill West I do the voice of Fry (does some well known quotes as Fry). Professor Hubert Farnsworth (stuff as Farnsworth). And I play Dr. Zoidberg (stuff as Zoidberg). And I play Zapp Brannigan (stuff from Brannigan)!
Rich Moore: I don't know what to say after that. I'm Rich Moore, supervising director of the series.
Claudia Katz: I'm Claudia Katz animation producer.
DXC: I remain David Cohen writer and executive producer of the show. And here is once again Matt Groening.
MG: I just want to say what a pleasure it is to show an episode of Futurama to a huge crowd like this. We've worked really hard as you can tell many of the writers felt very tired... and we worked really hard and we go home and watch by ourselves in our rumpus rooms. we... (laugh) because we work so hard and it  there is no laugh track on the show but its so much fun to hear the laughs from you guys so thank you so much for showing up.
DXC: One quick announcement. No cel phones for the members of the panel, please. We had three cel phone calls already.
MG: What if its really important?
DXC: A few of them were me calling Patrick because he is too far away.
RM: What if its one of our agents with a new job?
BM: Hanging around the Bongo Comics booth alot of Futurama fans come up and the question they've been asked over and over and over again is what is the future of Futurama? There are lots of rumours, so why don't we just settle them once and for all and let everyone know what's going on and what the future is.
MG: Well, we've heard alot of rumuours too. If you have any, please... and they're positive rumuours please bring them forth. The fact is, here's the applause line, Futurama lives! And so we've got another season almost virtually in the can and the fact about looking for work that means that the writing of this season is done and although it is true that this may possibly be the last season at least we have one more season of Futurama to go - and there is a slight chance that Fox will see the wisdom of ordering more episodes of the show. But even if they don't we are determined to make the show continue in some form or another wether its new episodes of the TV show, or a  movie or whatever. We want to do that. I assure you there will be Futurama pogs for sale at next years Comic Con.
JD: You can hire me out to come and do the Bender voice if you want for your Bender pogs.
BM: I want to see the new adjusted team action figures. But Matt, would those chances not increase exponentially with every email from say everyone here to the Fox netWORK!!? Can that help?
DXC: People in this room are probably aware of this but there is an online petition that is staggering in its size. I mean it has 140,00 signatures at a website called gotfuturama.com. So thank you to anybody out there who signed on.
BM: I've learned from past experience that the audience usually has better questions than I do so we're gonna just start these questions from the audience. There are microphones in the aisle I think all three aisles here. So if you have a question for anyone on the panel. Just come on up and we'll just alternate back and forth between your questions. There's someone here already.
Audience Question: So, if Fox is gonna order another season are they actually going to broadcast it? I know those people have been screwing you for a long time isn't it about time you got rid of them and went...
JD: Yeah, I like this guy right here.' They've been screwing you for a long time there.'
AQ: They have been. Why don't you go to a network that will respect you?
JD: Preach brother!
DXC: XXXXX. We have 16 episodes that I have no idea... they claim they are going to show all of them this season which will be actually more than we've done either of the last few years. We remain in our same crummy time slot though 7 o'clock Sunday's. One slightly good thing we just heard is that because their new show Oliver Beene is not yet ready, for whatever reason, we are going to get a few of the fabulous 7:30 slots in the Fall. It will be a huge improvement - but that actually is a big deal because football is over by 7:30 so we think we'll actually get to show about 5 episodes before New Years which again a recored breaker for us, so a little better than usual if it takes place in the Fall.
BM: Next question.
AQ2: I have a question for the voice talent, especially Billy who does most of the voices on the show. What's it like when fans come up and imitate you to you or does that even happen? And do you find it funny, do you think its flattering or do you get annoyed with it like the rest of us do when we hear it constantly?
BW: I had that experience because I was a very eager young buck whenever I got around any of my heroes, I couldn't wait to imitate them with their own creations. Then the guy would be nice 'Oh that's good that's good' and you could tell his skin would crawl. But you know I don't feel like that... we get a chance to create voices on this show so what difference if were doing Bugs Bunny and all that other stuff when you're replecating work and we get to create stuff. And that's the biggest thrill... we all do each other...
JD: Yea, I'm always... (Zoidberg) I'm always walking around doing Zoidberg. I love Zoidberg. (Farnsworth)Oh, yes and the professor as well! Oh, yes! Oh, no.(Bender) Hey Fry!! Uhjd3$&!! [the usual Bender babble talk]
BM: Hey, hey - why don't you guys just you know...
AQ3: I had a question about the Futurama DVD's and the fact they are now one season and two on the way in Europe and Britain too. Is it a syndication issue on why they aren't released in the States?
DXC: We think that is the answer but again we are not always the first to know. What we know for certain is that they didn't want to release them in the United States until we are syndicated but we don't know what the exact schedule for that is. On the product side we are going to DVD's with commentary for at least all four seasons that we've done all 72 episodes. The reason being the first two
