Troy McClure was one of my favorite characters on the Simpsons. Now you can't even see him on a re-run because Phil left everything to his wife. Hartman and Geoening were friends, and when he realized royalties would be going to Hartman's wife, he ordered a stop on all episodes with Hartman voices. Like Troy McClure, Rainier Wolfcastle, Lyle Lanley, Evan Conover, Eddie Muntz, Lionel Hutz (aka Miguel Sanchez), and probably a few others I'm forgetting.
The last Hartman voiced episode for Lionel Hutz was Season 5 episode 6 Realty Bytes. Popularized by the meme: "There's the truth and, the truth."
I need to check that out. As a lifelong Simpsons fan I loved his work as Lionel Hutz and Troy McClure. His last lines for the Simpsons cracked me up

The wife shot herself after killing Phil, why would he care about royalties going to her?
