Here’s hoping it isn’t “Cosmo”!

COMIC GUY NAMED
The elusive real name of Comic Book Guy will finally be revealed in “Simpsons” episode No. GABF02, Act 1.
The blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment airs in the show after the Super Bowl on Feb. 6.
In the episode, Homer inadvertently performs a wild, crowd-pleasing dance at a local carnival and is hired by several major sports figures to choreograph their victory dances.
He is so successful that he gets tapped to choreograph the Super Bowl halftime show.
Comic Book Guy, the snobbish know-it-all, pops up in the episode clad in a “Nerds do it Rarely” T-shirt. Since the series began in 1991, his real name has never been used, although in an interview a few years ago series creator Matt Groening joked that his name was “Louis Lane.”
