"Don't nap on the new episode Sunday. Pin Gal with the return of Jacques!", Jean said, with fans noticing that the episode will air 33 years and one day since his first appearance.
A Character with a Brief, Yet Memorable, History
Jacques, voiced by actor Albert Brooks, first appeared in the tenth episode of the first season, titled "Homer's Night Out".
In this episode, Homer was photographed dancing with a stripper at a bachelor party, leading to Marge kicking him out of the house. The character appeared briefly on several occasions throughout the show's early seasons but will now make his real return to the series in its 34th season.
Jacques' Return Brings Unclear Intentions
In the previous episode, "Life On the Fast Lane", Homer forgot to buy Marge a birthday present and ultimately purchased a bowling ball. Marge, unimpressed with the gift, went to the bowling alley, where she met Jacques, a bowling instructor who tried to win her over.
However, she ultimately turned him down and visited Homer at work. 33 years later, Jacques returns to Springfield with unclear intentions.
