Michael Palin Confirms Role In Upcoming Episode Of “The Simpsons”

We’ve known for a while that Monty Python’s Michael Palin will be a cameo in the upcoming season of The Simpsons and now we know what. Michael tells The One Show featuring Alex Jones and Chris Ramsey that he’s voicing the role of a “wacky” museum curator. We’ve already seen one of the guest stars for the 32nd season of The Simpsons, that being David Harbour which helped lead the show see an overnight ratings success of 5.5 million viewers, so we’re off to a good start.

The longest-running primetime scripted show in television history, THE SIMPSONS exploded into popular culture in 1990 and has remained one of the most groundbreaking and innovative entertainment franchises, recognizable throughout the world. HOMER (Dan Castellaneta), MARGE (Julie Kavner), BART (Nancy Cartwright), LISA (Yeardley Smith) and MAGGIE are instantly identifiable television icons. Rounding out this cast of characters are many beloved Springfield residents, including tavern proprietor MOE SZYSLAK (Hank Azaria) and nuclear power plant owner MR. BURNS (Harry Shearer). The Emmy Award-, Annie Award- and Peabody Award-winning animated comedy will begin its 32nd season this year and will celebrate a landmark 700 episodes this spring. Additional upcoming guest voice stars this season include Olivia Colman, Hannibal Buress, Ben Platt and Michael Palin.
