In a press release, Fox announced some A-list guest stars for the upcoming season of The Simpsons, including Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, Coldplay’s Chris Martin, Sarah Silverman, football greats Eli Manning and Peyton Manning, sportscaster Bob Costas, UFC champion Chuck Liddell and actress Angela Bassett. In the season premiere on Sunday, September 27 (co-written by Rogen!) 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. I'm actually curious to see this.

My heart always siezes up a little when I see guest stars lists, because it can be painful. Like, I like “30 Rock,” but they went a little crazy with it last season. But the Simpsons usually handles guest stars well. I was just talking about the Thomas Pynchon episode.
