Who will it be

Bart
Lisa
Sideshow Bob
Homer
Abe Simpson
Mrs. K (now Mrs Flanders)
Rabi Hyman Krustofski
Apu
Moe
Princess Penelope

We know an actor(ess) won an Emmy for the voice of the character who will die, per Hank. We know the episode is about Krusty quitting showbiz after a humiliating comedic roast in his honor (Per news reports). We also know the episode starts with Homer having chest pains (per a 30 second promo previewed at Comic Con).

So who is going to die? The easiest guess is Mrs. K (now Mrs. Flanders). Voiced by the late Marcia Wallace, a Mrs K death would be eerily convenient. But that is just too easy, and to have Ned be a twice widower is too cruel. So I'll give the writers some respect and say they wouldn't take the easy way out or be that mean to Ned.

The next guess is Homer. No. You don't kill main characters, and we have seen Homer in the future, so, no Homer, Bart, or Lisa.

Abe? Grandpa's do die, and Grandpa's death could be moving.

Moe, Apu? Poor unlovable Moe. I don't think so. As for Apu, he has too many kids.

Rabi Hyman, Jackie Mason. Was only in a few episodes. pass

My best guess is, Sideshow Bob. An annoying possibly lethal character who shows no remorse. Voiced by Kelsey Grammer, who no one likes working with anyway, it would be an end to a chapter, but not the end to the story. Also, there is a connection between Krusty and Sideshow Bob, and the premiere episode does prominently feature Krusty and his show biz peers.

What do you think?
