Simpsons to shoot Judd Apatow script

[Troy]

A script Judd Apatow wrote for The Simpsons 22 years ago is to finally make it to air, the screenwriter, director and producer has revealed.
In an online interview, the Anchorman creator said he had submitted a script during the sitcom's first season.

The script, he added, saw Homer Simpson hypnotised into thinking he was 10.

After speaking about his submission recently, he said he had received a call from the team behind the show saying it would be animated in 2013.

"I got a call from The Simpsons saying 'We're going to shoot that episode next year'," Apatow told Conan O'Brien on his Serious Jibber-Jabber internet show.

"Now I can retire," the 44-year-old went on to joke, adding that the "spec" - short for speculative - script was "the first thing [he] ever wrote".

Pretty cool to finally have his script used after 22 years, helps that he is now a famous writer and director. Be interesting to see the quality of it since it was the first thing he wrote, I am sure that he will touch it up a bit. I find it pretty amazing that the Simpsons have kept all the scripts that were sent to them especially one from over two decades ago.

I'd be happier than a pig in shit if the Simpsons were to use my script. What an honour that would be really.

Kinda shows that they can keep on going really if they have all these left over scripts.

This sounds more like they are the end of their rope with ideas.
