Det. John Munch on the Simpsons?

Question

I KNOW that I have seen an animated Det. Munch on the Simpsons - but Wikipedia is now claiming that is an error - but I've seen it!

It was some time in season 17 or 18, can someone with a good memory help me correct Wikipedia and IMDB?

PLEASE don't quote Wikipedia or IMDB to me, since I KNOW that they are wrong. Which episode of The Simpsons featured Richard Belzer as Det. John Munch?

This character holds the record for appearing on the most different series - including Arrested Development, X-Files, The Beat, Homicide, and several Law + Order shows - but the Simpsons episode should be added to the record!
