RICK AND MORTY Drop in on THE SIMPSONS in New Couch Gag

There's been a lot of talk about The Simpsons today, since news broke this morning that voice actor Harry Shearer would be leaving the show after 26 years. But maybe this will get people's minds off that bit of bad news: the title duo from Dan Harmon's beloved animated series Rick and Morty "drop in" on the Simpson family in a new couch gag that will appear on the show's season finale this Sunday, May 17th. Check it out below, along with some quotes from members of both shows about the mini-crossover.

“This couch gag plays like a full-fledged mini-episode,” said The Simpsons creator and executive producer Matt Groening. “It’s going to be a real treat for fans of The Simpsons, fans of Rick and Morty, and fans of animated belching.”

“We are honored and blown away to be a part of The Simpsons,” said Rick and Morty co-creator and executive producer Justin Roiland. “If I could go back in time and tell myself that this would happen, I’d be like ‘No way, Jose!’ I simply can’t believe it. I think we might all be living in some kind of massive computer simulation to be honest. Look up simulation theory. That would explain how this happened.”
