It stinks!
~ Jay Sherman's catchphrase[src]

Jay Sherman (full name Jay Prescott Sherman IV) is a movie critic who was the main character of The Critic. In "A Star is Burns", he came to Springfield to be a judge during the film festival. In "Hurricane Neddy", he was a patient at the Calmwood Mental Hospital. He also apparently became a regular patron to Moe's Tavern. Voiced by Jon Lovitz, Sherman was originally the main character on The Critic, which was created by Simpsons writers Al Jean and Mike Reiss. His character has been described as "balder than Siskel and fatter than Ebert". His appearance in "A Star is Burns" was a crossover to promote the second season of The Critic, which made its FOX debut on the same day after the episode premiered. The Critic was later canceled. Jay Sherman can burp very loudly. He mentioned that only one other person can belch as loudly as he can.
