Ernie Hudson was auditioning and it was basically a formality... until Arsenio Hall comes in.
And then Hall leaves GB after season 2, when his talk show becomes a hit. Getting replaced by Buster Jones.
Then there's the story of Peter. Lorenzo Music originally voices him. Supposedly, Bill Murray eventually watches an episode and doesn't like how Music voices the character. Offering to voice the character himself. Now, the studio can't afford Murray. So they recast him with Dave Coulier, who was known for doing a Murray impression as part of his stand-up act.
Then, of course, Murray eventually voices Garfield in the live-action movies. Garfield, who had been famously voiced in cartoons and commercials up to that point by Lorenzo Music.
So it all came full circle.
