The cast of Glee has checked in everywhere from the White House to the set of "Oprah," and now the McKinley High crew is headed to the land of Springfield.
The Simpsons showrunner Al Jean let the the news slip during a panel for the animated favorite Saturday afternoon.
In a panel that also included creator Matt Groening, executive producer Matt Selman and supervising director Mike Anderson, Jean announced that in an episode in the show's upcoming record-breaking 22nd season this fall, the town of Springfield will be greeted by the animated likenesses of our favorite Glee club. There was no word on if they are going to sketch up a yellow-hued version of Sue Sylvester.
Other guest stars slated for the season are Facebook creator Mark Zuckerberg, Cheech and Chong, Hugh Lourie and Wallace and Gromit.
Fans who packed the convention hall were treated to a sneak peek of the upcoming Treehouse of Horror episode, which showed board games coming to life and wreaking havoc on the town. The short teaser was met with thunderous applause. There was a bit of confusion about another teaser, the Christmas episode, which Groening said shows the Simpson family in a way they haven’t been done before -- as puppets.
With the show recently celebrating its 20th anniversary and Homer scoring the title of the greatest character of the past 20 years, it’s no surprise many of the burning questions from fans were about the show’s staying power.
As long as families keep having problems, we have stories, Jean said. The hardest thing at this point is thinking of plots we haven’t done. I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t hard.
