Roiland, whose exit from the Adult Swim series was announced in January in light of domestic abuse charges, had voiced the title characters since its 2013 launch.

By all accounts the past couple seasons he just shows up drunk to record his lines, be obnoxious in the office for a couple hours and then go home.

The actual writing and content hasn't really involved him. So assuming they can find a voice that isn't too jarring, odds are the average person won't know or care and the show will be just fine.

Hello Billy West? It's us again.

Billy West is the fucking man. Watching the latest episode of futurama and he nails all his characters still, even being away from them for so long. Many of the other main cast use, essentially, their regular voices.

I definitely noticed he sounds older and looked up ha age. 71! He definitely doesn't sound that old but it was still noticable. Of course it's not his fault. Definitely the GOAT voice actor.

That’s incredible. He sounded ever so slightly different in the trailer, but not that old at all. He still sounded like Fry, which mattered.

As opposed to the current Simpsons cast where I just feel sad listening to the current voices.
