In the episode The Caper Chase, Al Jean revealed to EW that Jason Alexander will play as Bourbon Verlander, an inventor of for-profit colleges who graduated at Yale University. Al Jean reveals that “He has a very evil scheme that is a little reminiscent of the film Ex Machina, where he has an army of androids built to capture all the student loans that the government is giving out.” Ken Jennings will also guest star in the episode.

The story’s plotline is a satire of Donald Trump and Trump University.

The personal financial guru Suze Orman, the American astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson and the creative writing instructor Robert McKee will teach at Mr. Burns’ new school.

Al Jean says to TVLine: “We have a great episode where Burns goes to Yale and discovers, much to his horror, how politically correct it is, so he starts his own college, Burns University, which is similar to another billionaire’s university you might have heard of lately.”

Al Jean also mentions Trump is aware of his Simpsonised version: “There’s a photo of him signing a poster which was [made from] the first spot we did on him a year ago, which was not so flattering, but he’s autographing it for somebody. I think his problem is that he doesn’t like criticism, but of course, he’s opened himself up for more than any human will ever get in all of history.”

More informations regarding Season 28 has been revealed.

Amy Schumer will guest star on the season 28 premiere, Monty Burns’ Fleeing Circus, as well as the season premiere for Bob’s Burgers and Family Guy, on September 25, 2016. Fox CEO Dana Walden told reporters at the Television Cirits Associations summer press tour, : “She recorded all shows at once and they were very accommodating and they can pretty much record someone in any city. It was just very lucky and fortuitous. It was always designed for the same actor. That was our goal and what the shows anticipated, that there would be connective tissue throughout the night.”

She’ll play different characters in each of the show.

In the episode, Springfield is burned to the ground, and the family asks Mr. Burns to fund its rebuilding. Burns will only agree on one condition: if he get to put on a variety show at the Springfield Bowl.

Dana Walden also announced that in the one-hour special episode set to premiere in January 2017, The Great Phatsby, Taraji P. Henson and Keegan-Michael Key will appear as special guests.

The episode sees Mr. Burns trying to relive his glory days crossing paths with a music mogul. After the mysterious person cons him and reduces him to bankrupt, Mr. Burns seeks revenge with the hekp of Homer, Bart, Jazzy James and the mogul’s ex-wife, Praline.

The rapper Jazzy James will be interpreted by Keegan-Michael, while Praline will be interpreted by Henson, in a take on Empire.

Joking about the 600th episode, Treehouse of Horror XXVII, executive producer Al Jean also told: “I just pray it won’t be the last thing people see before a Trump inauguration.”

The Synopsis

As THE SIMPSONS gears up for an unprecedented 28th season, it continues to break barriers. This spring, Homer Simpson appeared LIVE – for the first time on television – to answer fan questions. Next season, the beloved annual “Treehouse of Horror XXVII” episode will be the series’ phenomenal 600th episode. In it, Mr. Burns introduces a “Hunger Games”-style contest in which Springfield’s children must fight each other; and Lisa’s imaginary best friend becomes jealous of Lisa’s real best friends. Additional storylines include the Simpsons’ hometown of Springfield burning to the ground, Homer getting roped into coaching the kids’ lacrosse team with Milhouse’s dad; and Homer paying Choremonkey Matt Leinart to play catch with Bart, the two of whom form a strong bond, much to Homer’s chagrin.
