Production

Lady Gaga will make a guest appearance as herself in the episode.

In August 2011, it was revealed that American pop singer-songwriter Lady Gaga would make a guest appearance on the show as herself.[1][3][4][5] Recording sessions for the episode took place in Los Angeles, California during a period of four days from August 22-26.[1] In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Gaga expressed that her appearance was "a little nerve wracking" and that she "[doesn't] do voice-overs every day of the week".[1] She continued: "Their characters are so awesomely convincing and sincere and wild and funny, [that] I had to remind myself constantly of the sincerity of the humor. That's what I was trying to focus on, not putting on a character too much and really being as sincere as I could with the lines."[1] Despite these initial emotions, Gaga exclaimed that working with the staff of the show was "one of the coolest things that [she] has ever done".[1]

The producers of The Simpsons were impressed with Gaga's performance, citing highlights from her voice-acting range and ad-libbing skills.[1] Series creator Matt Groening voice a similar reaction. In his interview with Entertainment Weekly, he stated that "since the very beginning, I’ve always wanted to have on the most iconic personalities of our time, and she's it".[1] In an interview with Broadway.com, Yeardley Smith stated that she "was stunned that she has time in her schedule that she's coming to our studio to record."[2]
