About this episode

"Let's just say it moved me... to a bigger house! Oops! I said the quiet part loud and the loud part quiet." - Krusty the Clown

It's time for another cheesy cartoon crossover as Jay Sherman visits Springfield to introduce Fox viewers to The Simpsons' Sunday night time slot companion—for about half a season. But even though Jay Sherman wasn't long for this world, this episode full of parodies, classic lines, and Schwarzenegger slander remains a timeless installment we couldn't possibly say "boo-urns" to.

Our guest: Toby Jones, writer and director of AJ Goes to the Dog Park
