The Funny People star, who is the second celebrity to both write and act on the animated series after Ricky Gervais, has said that it was an honour to work with the cast of The Simpsons.
Rogen told The Huffington Post: "As a writer, it always just seemed like the Holy Grail. I can die a happy man now."
The 27-year-old actor will play a trainer hired to get Homer Simpson into shape in an episode titled 'Homer The Whopper'.
He said: "We wanted to comment on how Hollywood generally ruins these movies. The whole joke is Homer is cast to play a guy who's an everyman and they try to make him into this physically fit guy."
Rogen has also said that recording with the cast was "one of the highlights of my life".
He added: "It was completely surreal. I was just in shock afterward. I felt like I had gone skydiving or survived an earthquake."
The season premiere of The Simpsons airs tomorrow at 8pm EDT on Fox.
