"[citation needed] Howser spearheaded an unsuccessful effort to stop the demolition of buildings designed by Paul Williams at the Long Beach Naval Shipyard.
In 2011, Howser voiced the Backson in the post-credits scene of Walt Disney Animation Studios' feature film Winnie the Pooh.
In 2003, Howser purchased the 1,800-square-foot (170 m2) Volcano House, situated on a volcanic cinder cone just outside Barstow in Newberry Springs, along with 60 acres (24 ha) of desert and a man-made lake.
[23] In June 2012, The Panther, a student-run newspaper for Chapman University, announced that Howser had donated the Volcano House to the school.
[30] The school established the Huell Howser Archives, which, when completed, will offer the public free access to the entire digitized collection of his life's work.
[31] Testimonials to Howser's unique contribution to the celebration of California history and culture were acknowledged in numerous media sources upon word of his death.
"[33] This reflects the high regard in which many Californians hold Howser's unabashedly enthusiastic promotion of their state's heritage.
[34] Howser's enthusiastic style as host of his various travel shows led to him being impersonated and lampooned by comedians and radio personalities, such as Adam Carolla,[35] Dana Gould, Ralph Garman, and James Adomian.
[36] Matt Groening has stated he is a fan of Howser[37] and featured him in two episodes of The Simpsons: "There's Something About Marrying," in which a character named Howell Huser (voiced by Dan Castellaneta) falls off a turnip truck, and "O Brother, Where Bart Thou?," in which the real Howser presents a program similar to Marc Summers' Unwrapped television program titled Under the Wrapper.
