In an interview with Playbill.com last fall, Lopez broke the news of his work with "The Simpsons" writers on an original song for the long-running animated series. Lopez confirmed to Playbill.com that the upcoming episode is titled "A Totally Fun Thing Bart Will Never Do Again."

Last fall Lopez and his Tony-winning Book of Mormon collaborators – "South Park" creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone – reunited for a special theatre-themed episode of "South Park" titled "Broadway Bro Down."
