Sacha Baron Cohen to lend voice to The Simpsons

Baron Cohen, 37, is best known for his comedy performances as Bruno and Borat in the films of the same names.

It is now claimed that he will voice a character in The Simpsons this season and will play a “pretty angry but funny” Israeli tour guide who meets the family during a trip with the church to the Holy Land.

Producer Al Jean said: “He’s trying to get Marge to give him good grades on the comment card, and she goes: ‘You people are pushy.’

“And he goes: ‘What do you mean, you people? You try having Syria for a neighbour! What do you have – Canada?’”

The episode is called The Greatest Story Ever D’ohed and will reportedly air on March 28 next year, which coincides with Palm Sunday.

Talking about the date, Jean added: “So it’ll be a show that all faiths can come together and be offended by.”
