MovieWeb.com just recently did an interview with The Simpsons showrunner and executive producer Al Jean. He talks about the Simpsons upcoming 22nd premiere, which airs Sunday, September 26 at 8 PM ET on Fox.

Jean drops this spoiler when asked to talk about the season premiere starring Flight of the Conchords and some Glee cast members:

“Elementary School Musical, written by Tim Long, has Lisa spending a week at arts camp, where Jemaine and Bret are the counselors, featuring original songs by the Conchords. When Lisa returns to real life, she is very unhappy, until she visits Jemaine and Bret at home and discovers the life of an artist isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. In the b-story, Krusty goes to Europe to accept the Nobel Peace Prize, but it turns out to be a Roman Polanski-style sting.”

and adds at the end of the interview that “The premiere on Sept. 26 was one of the most exciting episodes I have ever worked on–I have long been a huge fan of Flight of the Conchords, and the cast of Glee sings as well! I’m really looking forward to it.”

We are all just as excited! I can’t wait to check out what Flight of the Conchords songs will be on the episode. Don’t forget to tune in next month to see our guys once again on TV! :)
