Famous for his Monty Python roles, Eric Idle appeared on The Simpsons early this year as a British documentary film maker in the episode ‘Scuse Me While I Miss The Sky.’ His role was so well-received by fans and creators alike, that they’ve asked him back! Idle writes in his online journal: “My pals on the The Simpsons are after me again to reprise my role as a British documentary film maker. (Quite a stretch eh?) They say they’ll record my voice anywhere we have a day off. I have two very good friends on The Simpsons – Dave Mirkin, who is a very funny, dry, guitar-playing writer, director and producer and Harry Shearer, the grouch’s grouch whom I have always adored as he can make me look quite pleasant by comparison.” We look forward to his appearance, expected in Season 15 or 16.
