The faces may not be familiar Sunday night, but you know you've heard the voices before.

On Fox's animation-comedy block, some unusual guest stars are lending their voices to "The Simpsons," "The Cleveland Show" and "Family Guy."

At 8 p.m. EDT, "The Simpsons" has the family going to the Holy Land, along with righteous neighbor Flanders. Their idiosyncratic tour guide is voiced by "Bruno" star Sacha Baron Cohen. The episode's title? "The Greatest Story Ever D'ohed!"

Next, on "The Cleveland Show," Cleveland gets his 15 minutes of fame when he is injured in a robbery. But soon the attention goes to his head. Guest stars include Ashley Tisdale, Kristen Wiig, Edward Asner and David Lynch. Now, that's a list of names you don't see together every day.

And finally, on "Family Guy" at 9 p.m., a network buys one of Brian's scripts for a big-screen drama, only to turn it into a small-screen sitcom. Meanwhile, Stewie is hurt during a fight between Meg and Chris. Charlie Sheen, Elijah Wood and James Woods add their voices to the mix.
