00:12and said goodbye to her character, Angela.

00:15So no one told you life was gonna be this way? Angela.

00:20Fisher voiced Peter's boss at the Pawtucket Brewery for numerous seasons on the Fox cartoon,

00:24and on Sunday's installment, Peter gave a touching eulogy which included a few references

00:28to Star Wars, Fisher's most well-known work.

00:31She had grace, courage, and an unmatched zest for life, Peter said.

01:11for the recording booth put out a dozen old film magazines of the 50s and 60s.

01:15And I'll never forget, while she was waiting to record, Carrie was reading one

01:19and came upon a big spread of Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher, and there were pictures of Carrie

01:23as a little girl. And for the next 20 minutes, she would read the article out loud, look up

01:28and annotate it as if you were watching one of her stage shows. And I said,

01:32do you want to keep that magazine? And she said, I don't need it, I've lived it.
