  
The Simpsons: Tapped Out Showbiz Showdown content update
Wikisimpsons - The Simpsons Wiki
- "Springfield is certainly NOT ready for its close-up but it's happening anyway! Polystar Pictures has returned to film their next new original idea - a reboot of the reboot of 'The Sands of Space.' Just one problem - Krusty is signed on to direct. Little does he know (since he hasn't read the script) that Polystar plans to retcon Marble Universe characters into the film. Can Krusty deliver a hit or will it be egomaniac vs egomaniac until the studio calls cut on the entire production?"
- ―Event description
Showbiz Showdown is the two-hundred twenty-sixth content update for The Simpsons: Tapped Out. It started on August 10, 2022 and ended on September 6, 2022.

Gil Promo[edit]
After tapping on Gil's  icon
|
|
Ha-cha-cha, have I got a nifty-gifty for you today. Buying this will be the bee's knees of cool!
|
|
I don't know these words you use.
|
|
Oh, jeez, mister. Just do me a favor and buy this before the clock runs out on ol' Gil.
|
|
| If the offer is accepted
|
|
Aw, that's just swell. I don't care what anyone says, you're a superhero in my book!
|
| If the offer is declined
|
|
Isn't this where the superheroes intervene to save the good guy? Me being the good guy.
|
|
Sorry, it's our day off today.
|
|
I don't want to intrude on anyone's day off. Guess I'll just see what's on the other side of this "Doomsday App".
|
|
It will be like you never existed at all.
|
|
|
Sounds like my previous marriage, so it probably can't be any worse.
