Toast of Tinseltown episode two wowed viewers with more A-list celebrity cameos, from animation icon Homer Simpson to Marvel superstar Paul Rudd.<\/p>\n

The sitcom is a continuation of Channel 4\u2019s Toast of London, starring Matt Berry as controversial actor Steven Toast as he attempts to take his ailing career to the next level.<\/p>\n

Springfield\u2019s most notorious resident appears early in episode two, when Toast remarks that America is much like what he expected, turning to see three bikini-clad women carrying assault rifles.<\/p>\n

His gaze then shifts to across the table, where we see Homer sitting opposite him with a pint of Duff beer, which he raises with a wink to the camera.<\/p>

IT: Chapter Two star Bill Hader also bags a guest role as Hollywood director Dwight Difference, who insults Toast\u2019s appearance and place of residence on a Zoom call, believing himself to be muted at the time.<\/p>\n

This seems to be a reference to a clip that went viral in late 2020, when real-life director Tristram Shapeero criticised the apartment of actor Lukas Gage in a virtual audition, an incident for which he issued a \u201csincere and unvarnished apology\u201d.<\/p>\n

Rashida Jones (Parks and Recreation) also appears in the role of Billy Tarzana, a woman who pretends she cannot speak English so that she can avoid getting trapped in a conversation with the eccentric Russ Nightlife (Fred Armisen).<\/p>\n

Berry reunites with his Year of the Rabbit<\/a> co-stars Susan Wokoma and Freddie Fox in this episode, with the former playing Dwight\u2019s assistant Nina Armenian and the latter appearing as a version of himself named Edward Fox.<\/p>\n
