‘The Simpsons’ Officially Fixed Its Biggest Mistake With the Return of This Character

Editor’s Note: The following contains spoilers for The Simpsons, Season 38, Episode 3For almost a decade, The Simpsonsstruggled with one of its most beloved characters, Apu Nahasapeemapetilon, voiced by actor HankAzaria. As one of Springfield’s favorite neighbors, the Kwik-E-Mart owner faced mounting criticism for a stereotypical portrayal of Indian Americans and was consequently pushed into the background. Although he continued to appear occasionally and was seen in numerous frames of the series with other side characters, Apu suddenly became voiceless after 2017. But that finally changed in Sunday night’s Season 38 episode, “Treehouse of Horror Presents: The Revengening.”
