Jay Sherman is a film critic.

When looking for a film critic to be on the jury for the Springfield Film Festival, the Simpson family watched Jay Sherman's show, Coming Attractions. On this episode of the show, Sherman interviewed Rainier Wolfcastle for his movie McBain: Let's Get Silly. During the interview, Sherman insulted Wolfcastle and his film, although Wolfcastle didn't realize it at the time. Marge then wrote a letter to Jay, asking him to judge the film festival. Jay was walking down the road in New York City reading the letter when Wolfcastle turned up, having realized that Jay had insulted him, and pulled out a gun. Jay told Wolfcastle that his shoes were untied before running away.

Upon arriving in Springfield, Jay was met by the Simpson family, who he stayed with during his visit. Homer got annoyed at Jay, as the family all liked him and he was better than Homer at many things he enjoyed, including belching and knowing the lyrics to the Oscar Mayer song. Marge also let him have the last pork chop at dinner, since he was the guest. At the end of dinner, Patty and Selma showed up, which horrified Jay. He then spoke with them, letting them know who in Hollywood was gay. After Homer told Jay to tell Patty and Selma that Angus MacGyver was gay, they hung him from the house by his underwear. That night, Homer was upset because he thought that everyone liked Jay more than him...

"Das Bus" is the fourteenth episode of season 9. It originally aired on February 15, 1998. The episode was written by David S. Cohen and directed by Pete Michels. Phil Hartman guest stars as Troy McClure and James Earl Jones guest stars as the narrator.

Homer incurs the full wrath of computer supremo Bill Gates with his very own dot com enterprise, while Lisa and Bart undergo a 'Lord of the Flies'-style scenario when they are stranded on a desert island with their schoolfellows.

Akira is the sensei of a karate dojo, a waiter at The Happy Sumo sushi restaurant (later Swanky Fish) and an employee at Costington's department store.

Akira has a mixed relationship with Homer. Akira helped Homer, Bart, and Lisa Simpson discover the origin of the mysterious Mr. Sparkle dishwashing detergent box (Homer was mystified by Mr. Sparkle's striking resemblance to him). However, he nearly killed Homer (albeit not intentionally) when he served him the fugu blowfish, which can only be properly prepared by the Master Sushi Chef (who was busy making out in his car with Mrs. Krabappel when Homer ordered the fugu). Also, Akira, Luigi, Captain McAllister, and other restaurant proprietors of Springfield attempted to assassinate Homer for giving their restaurants bad reviews.
