Later tonight, FOX will air the 600th episode of The Simpsons, and to celebrate the milestone, Thursday’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live featured an animated Kimmel meeting up with Homer Simpson and receiving a tour of Springfield.
Homer took the late-night host to Bart’s classroom, where he wrote, “I WILL NOT MAKE CELEBRITIES READ MEAN TWEETS,” on the chalkboard, Moe’s Tavern, where he enjoyed a glass of Duff Beer and made fun of the town’s most famous alcholoic, Barney, and to his Nuclear Power Plant, which was experiencing a meltdown on his off-day.

Moe tells Bart that the barflies are actually covert agents and that he wants Bart join their team in Homer’s place.
