The Simpsons: Denis Leary, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Two Billionaires Among Next Season's Guests

Known for its proclivity to incorporate a lot of pop culture elements into its episodes, Entertainment Weekly reports that a bunch of famous stars will grace
The Simpsons' 20th season. For one,
Rescue Me star comedian
Denis Leary is set to guest on the October 5 episode of the animated comedy, where he will play himself.
Leary will supposedly lose his cool during a celebrity golf event and hurl his cellular phone in a quite typical fit of rage. Unfortunately for the Worchester, Massachusetts native, it is
Bart Simpsons who finds his phone. The brat makes prank calls and ends up accepting a role for Leary for a film adaptation of
Everybody Poops.
Friday Night Lights and
American Gangster producer Brian Grazer will also make a guest appearance.
As if this wasn't enough, Julia Louis-Dreyfus of the Seinfeld fame will reprise her role as Snake's girlfriend in the season opener where she becomes pregnant and Homer becomes a bounty hunter, an episode which ought to be exciting.
Later in the season in December, two billionaires are set to lend their voices in an episode that Simpsons executive producer Al Jean described as having “the richest cast in the history of cartoons,” when Mr. Burns wins a pro basketball team during a poker game. The two billionaires are Dallas Mavericks owner Marc Cuban and Amazon.com CEO Jeff Bezos.
The Simpsons, the iconic animated series about the dysfunctional Simpson family, is set to open its 20th season on September 28.
