He's going to get to it as soon as he finishes revamping the entire federal government, solving the opiate crisis and instituting criminal justice reform while also serving as liaison to Mexico, China and the Muslim community.

Apparently, April was very good for the AV Club as it surged up to #50 on SimilarWeb's traffic rankings for US media sites; a 69 position (haha) jump that was by far the largest of the top 100.

Alan Young, voiced Scrooge McDuckin all but three appearances from 1974 to 2016, a 42-year run with the character that, as far as we know, must be unrivaled in TV or film.
