Series creator Matt Groening said that he and some of the writers who were old enough to remember Allen 's TV show from the 1950s – 60s were thrilled to have him guest @-@ star , especially John Swartzwelder . It took nine takes for Allen to pronounce Bart 's catchphrase " ¡ Ay , caramba ! " correctly , to the point where the staff began to get slightly frustrated with him . There was a discussion amongst the writing team of whether the episode should end with a joke or have a " sweet " ending . Reiss said " With the better angels in our nature , we went with the sweet ending [ of Lisa playing her saxophone for Bart ] . "

The series ' regular voice actors : Dan Castellaneta , Julie Kavner , Nancy Cartwright , Yeardley Smith , Hank Azaria , and Harry Shearer , as well as semi @-@ regular performers Tress MacNeille , Pamela Hayden , Marcia Wallace , Maggie Roswell , Russi Taylor , and Karl Wiedergott , reprised their roles .
