Gervais' Simpsons episode to air March 26
Well, we've known for awhile now that Ricky Gervais, The Office
creator and revered funnymen on both sides of the pond, would be penning an episode of The
Simpsons. What we didn't know, however, was when the show would air. Well, it looks like March 26 is the magic
day. In Gervais' episode, titled "Homer Simpson, This is Your Wife" Homer and Marge take part in a "wife
swap" reality show. Gervais will play Charles, one of the contestants who falls in love with Marge. Someone can
correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe this is the first time an outside party has been allowed to write an episode. It
will be interesting to see what Gervais brings to the episode, and how his own humor will blend with that of the show.
Methinks they'll go together like peanut butter and chocolate.
