Leave it to The Simpsons to pick the perfect guest star to perform on their season 33 musical finale, The Greatest Showman, himself, Huge Jackman.

Since getting his big break playing the X-Men's most influential character, Logan - AKA The Wolverine - Hugh Jackman has proven time and time again that he is more than just Berzerker rage and a pair of claws.

Starring on everything stage and screen, from The Music Man to Oklahoma!, Jackman has shown the world that beyond his popular comic book beginnings. His prowess as a song and dance man is unsurpassed, making him a theatrical triple-threat, and the folks at The Simpsons is yoking that talent for their musical 33rd Season finale.

The show's Twitter stream has been a flurry of Huge Jackman clips where he and the likes of former U.S. Labor Secretary (and an excellent Twitter follow,) Robert B. Reich attempt to explain the realities of the modern-day economic collapse to a Bart Simpson.


Did I mention that Jackman plays the nuclear power plant's janitor?

The finale looks to be a true indictment of the American corporate structure, and if Sesame Street has taught us anything, it's that there's no better way to get people to learn about life lessons - in this case, our broken economy - than a catchy song.

The Simpsons Musical Season 33 Finale can be streamed on Hulu and Disney+.
