No word yet on whether the appearance will include any follow-up on a Bay-related scene from earlier this season. As Marty peppered Larry and Jackie about how the veracity of alien flicks, he mentioned that Transformers‘ “realistic” feel makes it seem like Bay has inside intel – leading Jackie to whisper to Larry, “How does he know about Michael Bay?”
In addition to Transformers, Bay’s directing credits include Bad Boys, Pearl Harbor and Armageddon. He’s also producing The Last Ship, a post-apocalyptic action-drama pilot for TNT.
Bay’s episode of The Neighbors is scheduled to air in early 2013.
