According to Entertainment Weekly, JUDAS PRIEST singer Rob Halford will guest on The Simpsons. The episode will feature a decade-old spec script written by writer-director-producer Judd Apatow who is collaborating with the animated series in front of the microphone as well. The Apatow & Friends showcase, which is titled Steal This Episode, is slated to air in January and will boast Will Arnett as a guest star, frequent collaborators Leslie Mann, Paul Rudd, and Seth Rogen, plus Channing Tatum.
It marks a return visit to Springfield for Rudd and Rogen: Rudd guested in a season 22 episode and Rogen co-wrote the season 21 premiere and voiced a character.
