The Simpsons add Rogen, Apatow, Tatum, Rudd, Mann, Arnett, and Halford to upcoming episode!

Yea, all these guest stars not for multiple episodes…just one.

According to Entertainment Weekly, there is a brand-new episode of The Simpsons on the way and with the list of guest stars announced for it Homer may want to think about rolling out the red carpet.

The episode in question will feature guest spots by Will Arnett (We are the Millers), Seth Rogen(This is the End), Judd Apatow (Producer: This Is 40), Paul Rudd ( This Is 40), Leslie Mann (This Is 40), Channing Tatum(21 Jump Street) and Rob FUCKING Halford (God). PHEW! And no this isn’t the highly anticipated Judd Apatow-written episode but rather it sounds kinda sorta like the episode that featured The Critic a bunch of years back.

The episode featuring the gala of stars revolves around Homer getting fed up with movie theaters so he decides to start his own backyard cinema by teaching Bart to download movies and screen them for their neighbors. Will Arnett plays a rather pissed off FBI agent. For the rest of the guest stars let’s turn to the aforementioned article for details…shall we?

How do our celebrity guests fit into the plot? One of the movies that Homer shows is a This is 40-esque Apatow dramedy titled Life is Funny that stars Mann and Rudd, who joined forces in Knocked Up and This is 40. Halford winds up singing a parody of the Judas Priest classic “Breaking The Law” in an effort to nab Homer, while Apatow testifies against our patriarch “with a hilarious, self-important speech about Hollywood people,” says Selman. Another Knocked Up star, Rogen, has a cameo role as himself, as does Tatum. “Channing Tatum loves to do surprise twists in movies, a la This is the End,” hints Selman, “and he has a surprise twist in this one too.” 

Sounds like a hell of an episode, but I hope the premise doesn’t unravel in favor of big names and star value. No word yet as to when the episode airs, but The Simpsons returns on FOX with all new episodes on
