Simpsons Premiere Has Rogen in Double Duty

Share

(Newser) – The Simpsons season premiere tomorrow night will feature rare double duty by a guest. Seth Rogen, a self-described "obsessed" fan, not only voices a character but co-wrote the episode. "I can die a happy man," he says. The show, in which Homer has to get in shape to play the comic book hero Everyman in a movie, marks the 21st season, notes the Celebrity Cafe.
