Christopher Lloyd Revives his Iconic "Taxi" Character on "The Simpsons"
by Andy Swift
February 13, 2015
Christopher Lloyd is slipping back into his "Taxi" this weekend.
When Marge turns her family’s station wagon into a mobile business — think Springfield’s version of Uber — on Sunday’s "The Simpsons" (Fox, 8/7c), she finds herself at odds with the town’s taxi-driver community.
And as writer/director Carolyn Omine points out in TVLine’s exclusive sneak peek, there was no question which iconic TV star should rally the cabbies against her.
Lloyd lends his voice to scorned taxi driver Reverend Jim Ignatowski, the same character he played in the ’70s/’80s sitcom "Taxi" — which just so happens to have been executive-produced by "Simpsons" EP James L. Brooks!
(OK, maybe it’s not such a coincidence.)
