Lady Gaga to appear on The Simpsons

Grammy winner Lady Gaga will guest star on TV’s The Simpsons, according to one of the show’s ensemble of voice actors.

Yeardley Smith (who voices Lisa Simpson) told Broadway.com that she was recording an episode with the singer.

“This is extraordinary! I’m stunned that she has time in her schedule that she’s coming to our studio to record,” Smith told the website.

“She’s playing herself, and [The Simpsons writers] describe her as the happiest, most optimistic person in the world. She comes to Springfield to try to cheer up Lisa, but she can’t.”

Lady Gaga’s appearance will air during the animated hit’s upcoming 23rd season. In a previous episode, an animated version of the singer not voiced by Gaga (pictured) appeared on the show as Tony winner Elton John’s date to the Golden Globe Awards.
