"Moe'N'a Lisa" is the sixth episode of The Simpsons' eighteenth season. It first aired on the Fox network in the United States on November 19, 2006. Lisa aids Moe in discovering his inner-poet and he gains swift popularity and recognition from a group of successful American authors, when Lisa helps to get his poetry published. However, Lisa is crushed when Moe enjoys his newfound success with famous writers and deliberately refuses to credit Lisa for her assistance in his poetry. It was written by Matt Warburton and directed by Mark Kirkland. The episode guest stars J. K. Simmons as the voice of J. Jonah Jameson, while Tom Wolfe, Gore Vidal, Michael Chabon, and Jonathan Franzen make cameos as themselves. During its first airing, the episode gained 9.31 million viewers, beating the previous episode.
Homer awakens to find numerous reminders of "Don't Forget" all over the house (written on his stomach, Santa's Little Helper and Snowball II's flanks and in Maggie's alphabet cereal.) Marge reminds the family they are to watch Grampa in the Senior Olympics, and Homer groans about it, thinking that this is what he was supposed to remember. Right after the family leaves, Moe leaves a message on the answering machine reminding Homer that today is the day for Moe's big birthday fishing trip. At the Senior Olympics, in the stands, Lisa feverishly writes in a book explaining that she has a dilemma; she must interview a "Fascinating Springfielder" and write a report, yet she has not found a suitable person to interview. A while later, the Simpsons have grown weary of not seeing Grampa win any events, but after mistaking Groundskeeper Willie for the Grim Reaper, Grampa wins the hurdles race. Arriving home, Homer spots a sullen Moe on his doorstep, and remembers the fishing trip. Homer and the family successfully manage to sneak inside the house, avoiding Moe. But several hours later, Moe still waits for Homer outside and while the family tries to hide.
