I read in The Economist that Tony Blair is going to do a spot on The Simpsons. Does anybody know when that’ll be aired?
I don’t know, but one of my students said that David Beckham wanted to do a spot on the show but was turned down because he wasn’t “famous enough”. That made me happy.
I wouldn’t be surprised if it isn’t for awhile. The Simpsons eps. can take a long time to get from animation to the air.
JK Rowling & Ian McKellan (not as Gandalf but Macbeth) will also appear.
I haven’t heard of a specific airdate, only that it will be in Season 15.
Here’s what I found at The Simpsons Archive, and just in case, I’ll try the spoiler tag for the plot.
EABF22 - The Regina Monologues - Written by John Swartzwelder
Mr. Burns loses a thousand-dollar bill that is quickly turned into the main display at the Museum of Modern Bart. After Burns shows up to reclaim his money, Bart realizes he still earned enough from charging admission to take the Simpsons to England. When they arrive, Marge begs Homer to make this an incident-free trip, which he actually succeeds at until he accidentally runs into the Queen. Now the only thing that will earn Homer a stay of execution is whether he can uncover the plot to poison her majesty.
(Will air in Season 15, likely as the season premiere)
Guest starring Tony Blair, Ian McKellen and J.K. Rowling as themselves.
I hate to say it, but that sounds like a horrible episode.
The title is good!
The title may be changed.
