Even in their 33rd season, The Simpsons can still make history.

March is Women’s History Month, and though the timing may just be a coincidence, you could say that Fox Network’s venerable animated comedy The Simpsons is celebrating by finally broadcasting an episode where the top four key creative roles that guide animation for the show are all women.

The episode features director Jennifer Moeller, as well as assistant director Debbie Spafford, lead timer Esther Lee and background layout lead HeeJin Kim. In addition, the episode (which has the clickbaity title “You Won’t Believe What This Episode Is About — Act Three Will Shock You!”) gives a “written by” credit to Christine Nangle.

The show has featured female writer/director pairs before, but it will be the first time the entire animation creative team has been female. Moeller has directed several episodes in recent years, including last season’s “Mother and Child Reunion” and “Do Pizza Bots Dream of Electric Guitars.”

In the episode, guest-starring Kumail Nanjiani, Homer is blamed for leaving Santa’s Little Helper locked in the family car on a hot day. Though it’s not Homer’s fault, footage of the incident is posted on a neighborhood social media website dubbed “NeighborHub” – the Springfield version of NextDoor and naturally it goes viral.

Nanjiani plays Theo, a mysterious man who runs “The Institute,” a company that salvages the reputations of those people who get shamed on the internet. Theo approaches Homer and offers up his services to help save his reputation, and Homer finds himself lumped into a group that also includes Helen Lovejoy, Councilman Jed Hawk, Larry Doogan and Kirk Van Houten.

This episode also marks the first time Jay Pharoah will provide the voice of Drederick Tatum, Tyson-esque champion boxer who lives in town. Hank Azaria had previously voiced the character, but the powers-that-be at The Simpsons announced in 2020 that it would no longer have white actors voicing characters of color.
