She was drawn to the troublemaker son, Bart, and asked to audition for that role instead. The rest is history as she was cast on the spot. Then, two years after Groening's original shorts debuted on The Tracey Ullman Show, a breakthrough: Fox greenlit the sketches as a standalone half-hour animated sitcom. The Simpsons premiered on December 17, Early episodes centered around Bart, and he proved to be the show's breakout star.
