BART WRESTLES WITH MATTERS OF THE HEART ON "THE SIMPSONS" SUNDAY, JUNE 27, ON FOX

Sarah Silverman and Angela Bassett Make Guest Voice Appearances

Principal Skinner announces that Mrs. Krabappel was called out of town and budget cuts dictate that, until she returns, the school's two fourth grade classes will merge. Bart reluctantly shares a desk with Nikki (guest voice Silverman) and develops a flirtatious rapport. Bart talks to Grampa about his new crush, and at Grampa's suggestion, gives Nikki a kiss. But when Nikki starts sending Bart mixed signals, he swears off women forever. Meanwhile, Lisa's classmates ostracize her for being an overachiever, and First Lady Michelle Obama (guest voice Bassett), a self-professed nerd, comes to Lisa's defense in the "Stealing First Base" episode of THE SIMPSONS airing Sunday, June 27 (8:00-8:30 PM ET/PT) on FOX.
