WATCH: Sarah Silverman Roasts Krusty The Clown On ‘The Simpsons’ Season 26 Premiere

With the Season 26 premiere of the iconic animated series The Simpsons airing on Fox this coming Sunday, Sept. 28, there appears to be quite a bit of talk about the show's decision to kill off one of its oh, so loved characters. But the question remains: who will it be?

Now, we may have an answer.

In a report from E! Online, The Simpsons have released a clip from the upcoming premiere titled "Clown in the Dumps." In the episode, Krusty the Clown will reportedly decide to retire and leave the clowning biz after getting roasted by a handful of comics... including Sarah Silverman!

While small – at least, in this clip – Silverman's role is purely genius, and best of all, her!

The clip kicks off with Krusty onstage amongst a number of comedians with Silverman at the roasting panel. "We've seen a lot of top-flight comics tonight," she says. "But that's over, because it's time to hear from Krusty the Clown!"

Turning to the entertainer, Silverman's cartoon continues, "Welcome, Krusty! I grew up watching you." And while it sounds like a nice sentiment, the comedian corrects herself, "Oh, sorry, I threw up watching you."

Once taking to the podium, Krusty appears apathetic at best, and leaves the stage after saying, "Suddenly I don't feel like doing this."

Watch the full clip here.

So, will Krusty be the big kill that everyone is waiting for?

One of the show's creators, Al Jean, recently stated, "We gave [the episode] that title for a reason. Some people have guessed it correctly and some people are really, really off."

E! also notes that other guest stars in the forthcoming 26th season will be David Hyde Pierce and Jeff Ross.

And, of course, we can't forget the much-talked-about Simpsons-Family Guy crossover during this Sunday's episode. No, not the porn parody. Though that's probably still entertaining.

Tune into The Simpsons premiere this Sunday, Sept. 28, at 8 p.m. on Fox.
