Justin Trudeau to feature in a Canada-themed episode of The Simpsons

Justin Trudeau will be making an appearance on The Simpsons this Sunday.

But it won’t be the prime minister voicing his cartoon representation – a Toronto journalist who uploaded a video of impressions was given the role instead.

OFFICIAL: Ay Caramba!

I will be a guest voice on @TheSimpsons this Sunday as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

In Nov 2017 I put together an impressions video https://t.co/D548zZNx7g for family and friends and it somehow led to this #cdnpoli 1/3 pic.twitter.com/8UZADrngnj

Lucas Meyer tweeted his thanks to the show makers on Monday for allowing him to take part.

“Now to be clear I’m definitely not a star, just a handful of lines, but to be part of a show of my youth is insane,” he said.

The episode, titled “D’oh Canada”, airs at 8 p.m. on Fox this Sunday.

According to its synopsis, Marge is forced to rescue Lisa after she is mistakenly granted asylum in Canada while vacationing in Niagara Falls.
