Modern Family may have won the Emmy, but Glee has really made it.

Lea Michele, Cory Monteith and Amber Riley have received their four-finger makeovers and will be on hand to help ring in the 22nd season premiere of The Simpsons, in which Lisa visits a performing arts camp and is duly bitten with the musical-theater bug.

And the stars of Glee aren't the only ones bringing the funny that night...

New Zealanders Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie of Flight of the Conchords also make cameos on the Sept. 26 episode, obviously to bring "Something Special for All the Ladies."

Glee returns to Fox on Sept. 21. Clement and McKenzie pulled the plug on their own Emmy-nominated HBO show after only two seasons, because apparently they studied at the Ricky Gervais School of Television.

We're still awaiting a Christmas special, though.
