"Evan actually met [Simpsons producer] James L. Brooks at a party," Rogen explains. "And James expressed that he really liked Superbad, so we thought, 'There's our in.' And we asked them to write a Simpsons."
Rogen and Goldberg will be writing a script based on their own idea, which was just one of many they pitched to the show's regular writing staff.
"We went in and pitched them like five ideas and surprisingly they hadn't done some of them. And we all kind of settled on one in the meeting and then we went out and wrote an outline and they gave us notes on it."
Rogen will also be voicing one of the characters himself. He says the episode is expected to air sometime next season.
