For the first time in its 27 year run (and in animated history), The Simpsons will be going live.
Homer Simpson will appear live on May 15 to make comments on the events of that day during the East and West coast broadcast of the show. During the three-minute segment, he will also be answering fans’ questions they can tweet from May 1-4 using the hashtag #HomerLive.
Showrunner Al Jean explained to The Hollywood Reporter the commentary part of the segment will use a motion capture technology in which Homer’s voice and motions will be depicted in an animated scene talking about things he “could only be saying live on that day.”
