It’s no secret that Apu Nahasapeemapetilon is no longer a significant part of The Simpsons. The decision to sideline the character came in the wake of Hari Kondabolu’s 2017 documentary The Problem with Apu, which laid out a compelling case against white actor Hank Azaria’s portrayal of a stereotypical Indian cartoon character that even Azaria once admitted was intentionally “offensive.”
But no story reason was given for Apu’s conspicuous absence from the show, not even a handwritten note explaining that Apu went back to his home planet.
The first episode of Kill Tony on Netflix is in the books. Even the die-hards wouldn’t invite this one to the secret show.
When controversial comedian and disgraced Trump stumper Tony Hinchcliffe inked a massive four-special deal with Netflix late last year, the streamer likely thought that they struck gold in their rush to promote conservative-friendly comedy during this tumultuous political moment at the start of President Trump’s second term. Netflix Comedy commissioned three total episodes of Hinchcliffe’s podcast, live show and amateur comedy showcase Kill Tony alongside a new hour of stand-up from the Austin, Texas kingmaker, but, now that they’re 25 percent through the mega-deal, it might be time for the streamer to re-evaluate the audience they’re attempting to court.
