TORONTO - An old episode of The Simpsons featuring the voice of Michael Jackson will air this weekend.

Fox and Global Television are simulcasting the Season 3 premiere of the classic animated series at 8 p.m. ET Sunday to pay homage to the King of Pop, who died last week.

In the instalment, titled Stark Raving Dad, Homer wears a pink shirt to work and his fellow employees start to question his sanity.

He's then committed to the New Bedlam Rest Home for the Emotionally Interesting, where he befriends a stocky white man who thinks he's Jackson.

The Jackson wannabe later helps Bart write a special song for Lisa's birthday.

Jackson voiced the character, named Leon Kompowsky, for the episode that aired in September 1991.
