The Magic School Bus + Rides Again Wiki

The Producer is the main host of most Is This the Magic School Bus? segments throughout the Magic School Bus series. Voiced by Malcolm-Jamal Warner, he takes phone calls from kids around the world about the day's episode. Many times, callers will point out the more fantastic elements of each episode, and he can tell us why the show used such an extreme example (like kids turning into raindrops, or traveling to outer space). He will also occasionally quiz the kids who are calling in, or point out extra information that the episode left out. He shares his office with his (and the Frizzles') pet lizard, Liz, as his sidekick, and his colleague, the female producer, voiced by Susan Blu.

He bears a much more stronger resemblance to Tim, similar to his colleague does to Wanda.

In the Magic School Bus Rides Again, the Producer's role at the end of each episode is taken over by Professor Frizzle.
