Chris Martin's appearance on The Simpsons has been put back a couple of weeks and will now take place on 31st January. Chris will lend his vocal cords to an episode in which Homer wins a million-dollar lottery and hires the band to play a concert just for Bart and him. "When Bart goes to the bathroom, Coldplay has to stop," notes Simpsons exec producer Al Jean. Here's Anchorman with the airing details:
Good morning. We've just been informed that Chris's appearance on The Simpsons will now air in the US on January 31 on the FOX Network, at 8pm/7pm CST.
It was announced online back in July that Coldplay (with Chris Martin vocals) had been lined up as special guests on the 20th anniversary episode of The Simpsons. To celebrate the show's 20th season, there was a contest to create a new character for The Simpsons alongside Chris. The winning character is Ricardo Bomba, who is quite the ladies' man. Bomba will be introduced in the episode featuring guest star Chris Martin.
The episode had been completed, with a spot reserved for the contest character. In "Million Dollar Maybe," Homer Simpson is rushing to meet Marge for a date when he encounters Bomba in the episode that centers on a winning lottery ticket.
