Jon Lovitz ("Hot in Cleveland") Makes Guest-Voice Appearance
In the opener of the 23rd annual "Treehouse of Horror," THE SIMPSONS goes back to ancient times when a Mayan Homer and Marge are witnesses to the prediction by ancient calendar makers that 2012 will be the end of the world. In "The Greatest Story Ever Holed," the first of three spine-chilling stories, the Springfield Subatomic Supercollider creates a black hole that terrorizes the city, sucking up everything in its path. Then, in "UNnormal Activity" the Simpsons install cameras all over the house when things start to go bump in the night and Marge discovers it may have to do with an unholy pact she made some years prior. In the final thrilling tale, "Bart & Homer's Excellent Adventure," Bart travels to 1974 to buy a comic book at cover price but inadvertently disrupts Homer and Marge's courtship, leading Marge to end up with Artie Ziff (guest voice Jon Lovitz) in the "Treehouse of Horror XXIII" episode of THE SIMPSONS airing Sunday, Jan. 20 (8:00-8:30 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

DESCRIPTION:
(from FOX's press release, May 2013) Entering into its milestone 25th season this fall, THE SIMPSONS continues to strike a chord with viewers for irreverently poking fun at anything and everything. As the longest-running scripted series in television history, THE SIMPSONS has become one of the most consistently groundbreaking, innovative and recognizable entertainment franchises throughout the world. With its subversive humor and delightful wit, the series has made an indelible imprint on American pop culture, and the family members, HOMER, MARGE, BART, LISA and MAGGIE, are television icons. The Simpsons reside in the town of Springfield. HOMER (Dan Castellaneta) works as a safety inspector at the local nuclear powerplant; MARGE (Julie Kavner) tries to keep the peace in her family; BART (NancyCartwright) is the mischievous 10-year-old hellion; eight-year-old LISA (Yeardley Smith) is the intelligent, saxophone-playing, vegetarian member of the family; and baby MAGGIE conveys emotions via pacifier sucks. The critically praised series has been best owed with numerous honors, including a Peabody Award, 27 Emmy Awards, 29 AnnieAwards, five Genesis Awards and seven Environmental Media Awards. THE SIMPSONS has been the subject of a hit feature film; created the Simpsons Ride at Universal Studios; received a Star on The Hollywood Walk of Fame; was honored with five U.S. postal stamps personally designed by Matt Groening; was named the "BestShow of the 20th Century" by Time Magazine; and, most recently, was named the best sitcom of the past 30 years by Vulture.com. In the upcoming season, America's favorite family continues to entertain viewers with their wild and outlandish adventures, including Homer selling his Apple stock to buy a bowling ball; Marge blaming herself and the music of KISS for Bart's rebellious streak; Lisa getting recruited as a cheerleader for the local pro football team; and Homer delivering a baby. Guest voices this season include Aaron Sorkin, Gordon Ramsay, Christiane Amanpour, Joe Namath, Rachel Maddow, Elizabeth Moss, Kristen Wiig, Stan Lee and Lisa Lampanelli. THE SIMPSONS is a Gracie Films production inassociation with 20th Century Fox Television. James L. Brooks, Matt Groening, Al Jean, Matt Selman and John Frink are the executive producers.
