Fox has released an official list of guest voices for the upcoming season of The Simpsons. America's favorite family will welcome the likes of Alec Baldwin, Ricky Gervais, and Lily Tomlin into their animated yellow bosoms.

It seems like <em>The Simpsons</em> will be with us forever!

It seems like The Simpsons will be with us forever!

This fall season, The Simpsons will be joined by a star-studded roster of guest voices, including Alec Baldwin, Dennis Rodman, Terry Bradshaw, and more. Kelsey Grammer will return to the show in his recurring role as the menacing Sideshow Bob.

Baldwin, who played himself in a prior episode of the show, will return in the season premiere as manatee-saving marine biologist Caleb Thorn, who attempts to steal Marge's heart after she leaves Homer for the umpteenth time. Her latest reason: Homer allows Fat Tony (Joe Mantegna) to shoot an adult movie in the Simpsons' living room as payment for a gambling debt.

Dennis Rodman and former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Terry Bradshaw will join forces in the annual "Tree House of Horror" Halloween episode, in which they will play themselves and, according to Fox, "stir up tricks and treats." For unexplained reasons, the episode will air on Sunday, November 6, instead of on the Sunday before Halloween.

Fox has given no details on other upcoming episodes. Additional guest voices will include names such as William H. Macy, Lily Tomlin, Frances McDormand, Yankee pitcher Randy Johnson, and The Office creator Ricky Gervais, who wrote the episode he will appear in. Richard Dean Anderson (MacGyver) will also return to The Simpsons, delighting spinster sisters Patty and Selma.

Lily Tomlin? Didn't she do that movie with John Travolta? I'm sure guest role will be better. I hope Richard Dean Anderson will be MacGyver on the show. I love The Simpsons and these guest stars will help make a great season.

The Simpsons has been my favorite show for years. I've been watching it since I was 5 years old. I've seen every episode. This is truly the best show ever. To answer killer1177's question, the 16th Season isn't going to be the last. The 17th Season premiers Sunday, September 11th.

Awesome, the Ricky Gervais show should be very funny. Especially since he wrote it.

The Simpsons is the best show on tv. Everybody says Family Guy is better but all Family Guy does is have stupid jokes that last for 10min, just so it takes up time on the show.

The Simpsons rox! There hasn't been a guest star on the show for a while. I'm glad there are going to be some on the show this season.

This show really needs to end. This is a great example of a show past its prime.

the Simpsons hasn't been good in years. It hasn't even been decent in years. They need to re-hire Conan O'Brien to write for them again. Those were the best years.

Homer is the REAL Family Guy (although Peter is cool too).
