Seth Rogen’s ‘Simpsons’-Penned Episode To Naturally Center On The Comic Book Guy

Remember that “Superbad” and “Pineapple Express” writers Seth Rogen and buddy Evan Goldberg has signed on to write an episode of “The Simpsons“?

Well, series creator Matt Groening has revealed the plot details and naturally there’s a voice role for Rogen too.

“He wrote an episode we’ll be reading soon, where Comic-Book Guy creates a superhero comic which then gets made into a feature film. Homer plays the lead and to slim down, Seth Rogen will play his personal trainer.”

Hmm, just like Rogen has slimmed down dramatically in real life (see him at the Globes?) We haven’t watched “The Simpsons” in years, but maybe Rogen and Goldberg’s episode will be worth tuning in for once?
