While we knew several of these names were coming up, FOX has announced a more comprehensive list of guest stars for Season 21 of The Simpsons, along with new details on the roles some of them will play. The list of guest voices includes Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, Anne Hathaway, Chris Martin, Sarah Silverman, Angela Bassett, Chuck Liddell, Jackie Mason, Neve Campbell, Eli Manning, Peyton Manning, Bob Costas and the late Eartha Kitt.
Rogen's episode, which he co-wrote with his Superbad / Pineapple Express collaborator Evan Goldberg, is the season premiere – "Homer the Whopper." The episode involves Comic Book Guy casting 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.
Jonah Hill guest-voices as "Andy," a former Springfield Elementary student hailed as the best prankster ever in the upcoming episode, "Pranks and Greens." Neve Campbell plays "Cassandra," a Wiccan accused of blinding the town with a spell (a la The Craft) in "Rednecks and Broomsticks." Jackie Mason returns as Rabbi Krustofsky, Krusty the Clown's father, in "Once Upon a Time in Springfield," in which Krusty ends up falling in love with the actress who plays "Princess Penelope" (guest star Anne Hathaway), a new character on his show. The late Eartha Kitt also lends her voice talents to the episode.
Also planned for The Simpsons' 20th anniversary is a week-long on-air scavenger hunt this November. This scavenger hunt will involve Simpsons tributes and clues featured in primetime programming and in on-air promos. Participating series scavenger hunt/tribute include episodes House, Lie to Me, So You Think You Can Dance, Bones, Fringe, Brothers, 'Til Death, and Dollhouse. Viewers participating in spotting these moments can log on to FOX.com for an opportunity to win daily prizes and to enter to win an ultimate grand prize. FOX notes that additional details will be announced later.
