@@krooga_ Well, it's good that Billy is doing Ren & Stimpy again for the reboot, whenever it will come out. It's still in development hell as far as I know. Billy may voice Ren & Stimpy again, but he will never speak to John K. ever again if his mind is set to it. John really pissed Billy off back in 2001 with his pranks. It's shocking to see this episode today with Howard Stern and Robin Quivers yukking it up as John brings up references of Robin Byrd and Katie Rice for the very first time to the shock of his fans. Howie used the term "shock humor" too literally, as some of his past shows don't age too well 20 years later. Howie is now a far-left Democrat and an anti-Trump hater. The fact that John is not involved with this Ren & Stimpy reboot is the very reason that Billy decided to do the voice overs again.

Yeah, when John K was fired after Season 2 of the original show, Billy West took the role of Ren from Season 3 to Season 5. And he also will be voicing the two in the reboot. Though I wish the young writers of the reboot weren't so ageist and sexist towards Bob Camp, Bill Wray, and Jim Gomez, in fact those three left development of the reboot due to that reason leaving Billy West as the only guy from the OG show involved with the production.
