The episode in question is said to be titled "Loan-A Lisa," in which Zuckerberg plays the entrepreneurial role model for Lisa Simpson, according to New York Magazine's Vulture report.

Zuckerberg's voice performance has already been taped. "I'm not sure which episode it is, but I think I'm going to be in some episode of The Simpsons," he told us.

Details about the episode are scarce. Mark Zuckerberg's IMDb profile has yet to be updated to include the credit, and while IMDb has placeholders for all season 22 episodes, there's nothing to confirm that the "Loan-A Lisa" episode exists yet.

Here's how Vulture describes the plot: "Lisa decides to help fund Nelson's new bike company. While attending an entrepreneurs convention, the two encounter Zuckerberg, who reminds the kids just how many famous billionaires — including himself — have dropped out of school."

The Simpsons is known for the quality of the celebrity guest stars, who often play themselves. Everyone from Betty White and Mark Cuban to Lance Armstrong and the Manning brothers have taken to The Simpsons to voice their own likenesses. It seems fitting then that Zuckerberg -- a celebrity in his own right thanks to his 500 million-member social network and the upcoming movie about him -- should follow suit.
