The Simpsons Sets November 15 Airdate for Eric Bauza’s Guest Appearance Alongside Upcoming Galactic Starcruiser Parody

The Simpsons is preparing a pair of major television events for fans, balancing sharp corporate satire with a celebration of a beloved voice acting talent.

Setting the Date for Eric Bauza’s Guest Appearance

The long-running animated comedy has officially locked in November 15, 2026, for a special guest appearance by the late, Emmy-winning voice actor Eric Bauza, who tragically passed away on October 25, 2026, at the age of 46.

Globally celebrated as the modern voice of Warner Bros.’ legendary Looney Tunes roster—including Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and Tweety—Bauza was a cherished contributor across contemporary animation. In his upcoming guest role airing on November 15, Bauza showcases his trademark vocal versatility by voicing two distinct characters woven into Springfield’s world, offering viewers a chance to enjoy his incredible talent in the recording booth.

Parodying Disney’s Failed Galactic Starcruiser in “The Kosmic Kruiser”

Before that, Springfield is set to target one of recent entertainment history’s most notorious theme park misfires in the upcoming episode “The Kosmic Kruiser.”

Scheduled to air on Sunday, November 8, 2026 on FOX, the episode sends Bart and Lisa exploring an abandoned, shuttered interstellar attraction that serves as a direct spoof of Disney’s short-lived Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser experience.

Once inside the decaying hull of the hotel, the siblings discover the attraction isn’t quite as empty as it looks. To complete the meta-commentary, popular YouTube essayist Jenny Nicholson—whose viral video breakdown famously chronicled the real-life downfall and design flaws of Disney’s luxury resort—joins the episode as a special guest voice alongside actor Jimmi Simpson.
