Excerpted from the official release:

Political satirist Stephen Colbert guest-stars in “He Loves To Fly And He D’ohs,” the new season debut of “The Simpsons“, Sept. 23 on Fox.

After Homer saves Mr. Burns from drowning in a mall fountain, Burns thanks him by taking him on a whirlwind trip to Chicago on his private plane.

Homer is smitten with the luxury jet and all the perks that come with it…

After returning home, he makes it his mission to find a job that offers him the chance to fly on a corporate jet and enlists ‘life coach’ Stephen Colbert to help him fulfill his dream.

Is it too cheeky to ask whether Fox made sure Colbert is certified or professionally trained? Does he give Homer advice or just ask incisive questions? Is Coach Colbert happy and successful in his own life, I wonder? And…what kind of car does he drive?

I guess we’ll all just have to wait and see. For now, Fox blesses us with their first promotional image for the year, showing cheerleader Colbert in the background. Two thumbs up!

There’s certainly nothing new about poking fun of coaching - it’s hip to be geek these days, after all! What do you think?
