EW's editorial guidelines Published on January 13, 2017 01:47PM EST Sunday’s episode of The Simpsons goes a long way to take you into the worlds of The Great Gatsby and hip-hop — one hour long, to be specific. The show’s first-ever hourlong episode, “The Great Phatsby,” will pay homage to the F. Scott Fitzgerald novel in a unique way, chronicling the rise-and-fall friendship between Mr. Burns and a hip-hop mogul named Jay G. (Think about it.) The episode also features vocal contributions from Taraji P. Henson and Keegan-Michael Key, as well as Snoop Dogg, RZA, and Common. You can watch Jay G persuade Burns to let go of the death-grip on his credit card and start to live large in this clip from the episode, which airs Sunday at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Fox.
