THE SIMPSONS GUEST-VOICES
Fox has released details about Seth Rogen's guest-voice appearance in the season premiere of The Simpsons.
Rogen -- who is starring in next summer's The Green Hornet movie -- co-wrote "Homer The Whopper," which will air on Sunday, Sept. 27.
In the episode, Comic Book Guy casts Homer as the lead in Everyman, a feature film based on the new comic book superhero he created. To whip Homer into superhero shape, the movie studio hires celebrity fitness trainer Lyle McCarthy (guest voice Rogen), but Homer has trouble sticking to his new healthy regimen.
Other guest-stars for Season 20 include actors Jonah Hill, Anne Hathaway, Neve Campbell and Angela Bassett, the late Earth Kitt, Coldplay¹s Chris Martin, comedians Sarah Silverman and Jackie Mason, football players Eli Manning and Peyton Manning, sportscaster Bob Costas and UFC champion Chuck Liddell.
Hill guest-voices as Andy, a former Springfield Elementary student hailed as the best prankster ever in the episode, "Pranks and Greens."
Campbell plays Cassandra, a Wiccan accused of blinding the town with a spell (a la ³The Craft²) in "Rednecks and Broomsticks."
Mason returns as Rabbi Krustofsky, Krusty the Clown¹s father, in "Once Upon a Time in Springfield," in which Krusty ends up falling in love with the actress who plays Princess Penelope ( Hathaway), a new character on his show. Kitt also lends her voice talents to the episode.
