Welcome to the only appearance of the Hoxha family.

As this week is light on trivia (Adil's mother is another one-time appearance), I did my best to translate the sign shown behind them at this Albanian airport*.

Homer's Night Out - round up!

Homer's Night Out - round up!

Another episode in the bag! As I write these it's getting very apparent to me that we are nearing the end of season 1, which is fantastic and exciting and terrifying. What if I run out of characters quicker than expected? At this rate, I can assume we'll be done with season 34 by 2025.

The nature of the viral photo being passed around a lo...

The FINAL character of "Homer's Night Out" is the gentleman conversing with Suzie's dad:

If you follow me on social media you may have seen I'm becoming a father for the second time! This is all very exciting, I'm very much looking forward to meeting her in the next few days.

This gentleman recognises Homer on stage from the viral photo.

This leads to much excitement within the Sapphire Lounge, and perhaps allows Homer to narrowly avoid retribution from the club's security. Good for him!
