Well, this is new — even for Springfield, which has almost seen it all. After 27 seasons, Homer Simpson will appear “live” during a May episode of Fox’s “The Simpsons.”
In the episode, Marge, Lisa and Bart will turn the show over to the family’s patriarch, who will take a break from stuffing his face to comment on the events of the day live during both the East Coast and West Coast broadcasts, Fox revealed on Tuesday. Executive Producer Al Jean told us much more on a phone call immediately following the announcement — for example, how in the world they plan to pull this thing off.
