Simpsons Episode Apatow Wrote 22 Years Ago to Air

When Judd Apatow was a new comedy writer, the first thing he wrote was a spec script for the Simpsons. Some 22 years later, it has gotten the green-light, he revealed yesterday on Conan O'Brien's web series, Serious Jibber-Jabber. The plotline involves a hypnotized Homer thinking he's Bart's age and ending up becoming Bart's best friend, Rolling Stone reports. The Simpsons crew was recently alerted to Apatow's story, and are turning it into an episode next year. (More The Simpsons stories.)
