Voicing Gabriel Razelton, the great Robert Smigel, legendary comedy writer and the man whose hand and voice is inside Triumph the Insult Comic Dog.

We wanted Rick Steves' dreamland to be designed in the style of proto-surrealist Italian artist Giorgio de Chirico.

We got Rick Steves on The Simpsons! After years of trudging around places with his books and going to pizza places he recommends, I say, Thanks, Rick - you're an American travel hero.

Squeaky-Voiced Teen's promposal. @thesimpsons

Just a few posts coming up about tonight's West Coast airing of "Full Heart, Empty Pool." Written by the brilliant Jeff Westbrook (he's also The Simpsons most-educated writer). Directed by the amazing Chris Clements.

On this Sunday night's Simpsons we get the old band back together -- Blake Griffin, Megan Rapinoe, and brilliant travel host Rick Steves!

That new, exclusive to Disney+ episode of #TheSimpsons, The Past & the Furious is really great. This last year of the series had been a standout overall of the last decade, but this episode in particular really landed for me. It’s a bit Back to the Future, with lots of heart and humor. Recommend.

A lot of the lyrics of this hilarious song just poured out of Dan Castellaneta in the writers room the day we were working on it. Plus he sings it too!

Rough estimates of value. Tiffany lamp, if unbroken: $300,000. Baseball cards -- Honus Wagner: 7.5 million, Babe Ruth: $7,000, Ty Cobb: $504,000

Come on, Lisa, "Make like a petri and dish!"

I had sweaters made for all our writers that had the "Little Moose Club" logo along with an image of one of the mini moose. So far not a single person has asked any of us what the logo is about.

Great music in this episode from the great @karatalve

Lisa inhabiting the body of her ancestor Edith. I love the look of this show, directed by the hugely talented Michael Polcino.

Sometimes for table reads we write "This is a real thing" about something in the show that people might not have heard of. The EMDR tappers are a good example -- real therapy tools. I can only assume they'll also make you time travel.

Dr. Chaplet is named for (and designed after) the character Dodo Chaplet in the 1960's Dr. Who. This is one of about two time travel Easter eggs in the show! @thesimpsons

"The Past and the Furious," an episode I wrote and was co-runner on, premieres today on Disney+! Lisa actually travels back in time, and here to kick it off is a freeze frame screen from the opening. My favorite category: "Fan Infuriators." @TheSimpsons

My next episode of The Simpsons premieres on Feb. 12th, an original just for Disney+! Lisa travels back in time and alters the course of history!

We had various designs of Burns' Vermeer, and ultimately decided the nose ring should closely resemble the original's earring.@thesimpsons

Wine Court inspired by the crazy French trial in the terrific movie Anatomy of a Fall. That movie didn't have a bored-looking courtroom cat in a turtleneck, but should have @thesimpsons

The guy on the far right designed to look like @jlazebnik. The animation camera adds 10 pounds. @thesimpsons

Robert Parker, on the right, inventor of the famous 100 point wine rating scale, voiced himself. I give his performance a 100. See how he judged Andrew Lloyd Webber (on the left) @TheSimpsons

Robin Hood-style Bart, Lisa, Maggie, Milhouse, Ralph, Nelson, Hubert Wong, Marge and Smithers. Doesn't get a lot cuter than this. @TheSimpsons

Our dream sequence homage to the Disney 1973 feature "Robin Hood." Gabe DeFrancesco and his animation did an incredible job. @TheSimpsons

Did you know there's a Sp ingfield in 26 states? We're not saying where this one is. @TheSimpsons

Music for Homer's song about the joy of cover-ups by the amazing @karatalve. That's our live, 35-piece orchestra in the track. @TheSimpsons

"Eat your million dollar stew!" Is smushing worse than strangling? I don't think so. (Also I don't think the stew is hot at this point.) @TheSimpsons

Important to keep your original Poochy cel in your home safe. Did you know The Simpsons doesn't use actual cels anymore? So if you've bought an old one it's the best investment you ever made I assume. @thesimpsons

The only wine Napoleon liked was Gevry Chambertin, which he drank at lunch and dinner every day. I'm just like him except for me it's Diet Dr. Pepper and I haven't been banished to Elba (yet). @thesimpsons

Homer angry for the microwave taking so long to heat up his taquito is how I look when my EV takes too long to start up.@TheSimpsons

Smithers' photo wall indicates that he's still on good terms with ex-boyfriend Michael de Graaf (voiced by Victor Garber), from my and Johnny's other episode "Portrait of a Lackey on Fire." @thesimpsons

Simpsons live now PST! Burns' jet looks like a Bombardier Challenger 350, which burns 300 gallons/hour. But takeoff uses more fuel. So even though it's a super short flight, I'm going to say taking out Burns trash uses about 30 gallons of jet fuel. Love to be corrected though! @thesimpsons

Reading list for tonight's new Simpsons episode (I think all cartoons should come with reading lists): The Billionaire's Vinegar (great book) by @benjwallace.

If you like wine and The Simpsons, tonight's new episode is a post-Xmas present for you. @TheSimpsons www.winespectator.com/articles/the...
