AWESOME! Elisabeth will be in the clubhouse Thursday!

Set the DVR Elisabeth is a guest on Live with Kelly and Michael tomorrow!

The Simpsons is welcoming another member of the Mad Man cast to Springfield: Elisabeth Moss will voice a character on Fox’s animated classic this fall, Vulture can exclusively report. According to showrunner Al Jean, “She’ll play a character stuck in an elevator who gives birth to a baby. She names it Homer, Jr.” (Peggy Olson is pregnant again!) For you detailed-oriented Simpsons diehards, the episode’s title is “Labor Pains,” Moss’s character is named “Gretchen,” and Fox is tentatively scheduled to broadcast the episode on November 3* as part of the show’s 25th season. The Simpsons long ago established its love for Mad Men: Both Jon Hamm and John Slattery have lent their voices to the show, while this 2008 parody of the AMC drama’s opening credits was pretty much perfect.

Arrive has their new interview with Elisabeth up HERE

TIME: In Top of the Lake, your character Robin Griffin is an inexperienced yet strong woman working as a detective, determined to get to the bottom of a difficult case. Sounds like there are a few parallels to Peggy, who you’ve called the “ultimate feminist.” Is this an important role for you to promote?

Elisabeth Moss: It’s not really a conscious choice, you don’t intend to go attack these issues of misogyny or feminism, but I think as a young woman, it’s difficult to avoid. But if you play a strong independent career woman, you’re gonna run up against that. And I think I’m a bit more suited for those roles than being a housewife or girlfriend. I’m attracted to strong independent characters. Something I didn’t grasp until I started to be asked questions about the parallels between what Peggy deals with in a man’s world, and what Robin deals with in this other world.

You could also apply it to Zoey Bartlet, the character you played on The West Wing. She had to deal with a tricky relationship and being a First Daughter.

For sure, and the danger of that, and the judgment for dating a black man, and would that be different if she wasn’t a woman. I think so much has changed since the 1960s. I would never belittle the strides made by the woman who’ve come before me, but at the same time, men are still men and women are still women. And it’s definitely interesting to look at those problems that still do exist. And Robin, purely by the fact that she’s a young woman, is greeted with a lot of adversity just because of that.

On her first thoughts when she found out Peggy was leaving SCDP…

Elisabeth Moss: “It’s funny. [Matthew Weiner] called me, before the episode 11 script came out, and he told me the whole thing. Which was quite similar to the first season. The first season he called me into his office before we started and was like, ‘Blah blah blah blah blah, all this stuff’s gonna happen, and then you’re gonna have a baby.’ This time he called me and said, ‘All this stuff’s gonna happen and you’re gonna leave.’ I literally was like, ‘That sounds amazing! Am I still on the show?’ He was actually a little bit offended and he was like, ‘Of course! Yes!’ I was like, ‘Well it’s a logical question!’ And he was like, ‘No, it’s fine, totally, of course.’

“For me I just felt like — and for him as well — what else was she gonna do? That’s the beauty of this show, it’s not afraid to take that risk, to give the audience a little bit of maybe what they don’t want. But that’s what would’ve happened — [Peggy] would’ve gone to another agency. It’s very common for people in advertising to flip around and go to different places.

“And it made so much sense. When I went back and looked at all the scripts I was like, ‘Oh my god, this is where it’s been going all the time and I didn’t see it!’ We’ve been building up to it since the first episode when she watches Megan dance to ‘Zou Bisou Bisou’ and looks at her and sees this woman embracing her life and being her own person–and how much Don loves that, and respects her for it and admires it, and I think that’s where the seed is planted.”

Full Q&A

We’ll get to Mad Men. We’ll get to Peggy. We’ll even get to a quick game of Fuck Marry Kill with the Sterling Cooper guys. But this month, it just so happens that Mad Men is only the second-best TV show starring Elisabeth Moss, our eternal office crush, so let’s start with her other one: Top of the Lake. It’s Jane Campion (The Piano) doing Twin Peaks in New Zealand for the Sundance Channel. Moss plays a detective searching for a vanished girl and in due course shoots a gun, stabs a guy, and has hot outdoor sex in a forest, atop a lush bed of…moss. “It was very important to Jane to find some cushy spots,” Moss says. “Where’s the most comfortable place to have sex in this woods?”

Moss is calling during a pause in shooting on Mad Men, a show she’s still very much on, despite Peggy’s exit from the firm last season. So let’s push our luck. Fuck Marry Kill, Moss. Go: “Oh brother. I don’t want to marry any of them! Impossible! I guess I’d marry…Sterling? Fuck Don. And I guess I have to kill Pete? But let me say for the record that none of these are things I’d ever want to do.” So noted.

Are you a TV junkie, and what do you watch?
I really love television, and I love my DVR—we have a very special relationship. I suppose my obsession is anything on the Bravo network. I watch all of the Real Housewives shows, and when they do the marathons, I watch those to catch up so I’m prepared for the new season. I’m also watching House of Cards, Nashville, Parenthood…

How about late night shows?
I love Colbert and I watch it when I can, but I’m usually too busy catching up with my DVR. I do watch Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on Bravo. It’s awesome. I’m going to be on it in a few weeks! I need them to reserve an hour or two because I have a lot to say.

Full Interview

Elisabeth Moss’ cheeks are pink from the cold and the excitement of her first helicopter flight. All afternoon she has been flying over the mountains and lakes of New Zealand’s South Island. The flight was part of a scene in Jane Campion’s television drama, Top of the Lake, in which Moss plays a detective on the hunt for a lost child. The shoot took hours longer than anticipated and the evening has grown dark and chilly. Moss faces a long drive back to her accommodation in Queenstown, but the day seems to have left her energised rather than depleted.
”I’ve never been in a helicopter before,” she says. ”It was so cool. You are kind of left a little breathless by it, you know?”
