Raja, meanwhile, will play herself in a scene opposite Homer.

“I can’t describe how honored I am to have been asked to do this episode,” she wrote on Instagram. “I’ll never forget crying my eyes out, as rain came pouring down on the sidewalk outside the recording studio. Tears of joy.”

“The Simpsons was a huge part of my childhood, being asked to be on an episode was surreal and mind blowing, to say the least,” she added.

Here she is everyone! I am so proud to announce my cameo appearance on #theSimpsons ! I cant describe how honored I am to have been asked to do this episode airing November 18, with special guest @rupaulofficial . The best part is…I play myself in a scene with Homer. I’ll never forget crying my eyes out, as rain came pouring down on the sidewalk outside the recording studio. Tears of joy. The Simpsons was a huge part of my childhood, being asked to be on an episode was surreal and mind blowing, to say the least. ❤️

In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, The Simpsons showrunner Al Jean revealed that the episode featuring Ru and Raja is about Marge masquerading as a drag queen in order to sell Tupperware. Which, uh… sure?

The episode will go to air in the US on November 18.
