“The Simpsons” will be featured on this Sunday’s New York Times crossword puzzle, the Futon Critic reports. Crossword puzzle creator Merl Reagle and New York Times Crossword Puzzle editor Will Shortz will make guest voice appearances on the show the same day. A message integral to that evening’s show can be found in the newspaper’s crossword puzzle. “One of the great things about working on ‘The Simpsons’ is that when we do a show on a particular subject be it politics, sports or music we do it right,” says the show’s executive producer Tim Long.
