Check Out Some Excerpts from Conan O’Brien’s Unproduced ‘Simpsons’ Script Starring Prince

In light of Prince’s death last week, Simpsons showrunner Al Jean recently shared some excerpts on Twitter from an old Simpsons script by Conan O’Brien, in which Prince would star in a followup of sorts to Michael Jackson’s 1991 episode “Stark Raving Dad.” Prince passed on the episode so it went unproduced, but the few excerpts Jean shared online paint at least a partial picture of what could have been:
