Is Barney Nelson's Dad? 'The Simpsons' Producer Weighs In On a Persistent Fan Theory

Owen Wilson and Meg Ryan will also appear this season, as well as returning favorite Joe Mantegna as Fat Tony. All of this was discussed in Polygon's recent interview with co-executive producer Mike Price, but while we had him on the phone, we couldn’t resist asking him about some of the most pressing questions from the Simpsons fandom.
