Krusty turns to his Orthodox father, Rabbi Hyman Krustofsky (Jackie Mason), and Mr. T for help. Krustofsky returns to help his son study for his big day ? which he originally opposed for the young Hershel, fearing that he might make a mockery out of it.

A new episode of The Simpsons titled Dude, Where’s My Ranch? airs this Sunday at 8pm on Fox. The episode features David Byrne and Jonathan Taylor Thomas as guest stars. Here’s a preview:

“David Byrne, the former lead singer of the Talking Heads, will play himself on Sunday’s episode of The Simpsons. When Homer writes a song about how much he hates Flanders and sings it for the guys at Moe’s, Byrne offers to produce the tune. If you’re wondering what David Byrne would be doing at Moe’s, well, sometimes cartoons just stop making sense. “I kinda jumped up and down,” Byrne says of being asked to do the show. “I thought, well my life’s made now. It’s all downhill from here.” With Byrne’s backing, “Flanders Is a Jerk” becomes a big radio hit for Homer. So much so, in fact, that the family grows to hate it. So they take a road to nowhere, escaping to a dude ranch. There, Lisa falls for a young cowboy, voiced by ex-“Home Improvement” star Jonathan Taylor Thomas.”

“Monty Python trouper Eric Idle is bringing his distinctly British voice to Springfield, USA. Idle will guest-star on Sunday’s episode of The Simpsons (‘Scuse Me While I Miss The Sky), playing a British filmmaker who decides to shoot a documentary at Springfield Elementary. He’s the first Python to lend his voice to the long-running FOX show. “The Simpsons is great because it’s like doing a radio show,” Idle says. “Everybody does funny voices, and it’s really good fun.”
