Why Futurama S11 E6 is dedicated to Coolio.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary After a fun festive adventure, Futurama season 11, episode 6 ended with a moving dedication to the late rapper Coolio. Futurama’s season 11 revival has largely kept the show’s tone relatively light. A few of the season’s episodes tugged at the heartstrings of viewers, but none of them were outright devastating.
“I Know What You Did Next Xmas” fixed one controversial Futurama revival story mistake with a holiday special that wasn’t split into shorter stories. While season 7, episode 13, “The Futurama Holiday Spectacular” wasn’t particularly well-received, this was largely due to its anthology format. In contrast, “I Know What You Did Next Xmas” returned to the Robot Santa-centric storytelling of season 2, episode 8, “Xmas Story”, and season 4, episode 2, “A Tale of Two Santas.
Futurama’s Kwanzaa-Bot Actor Died In September 2022 “I Know What You Did Next Xmas” ended with a message stating that the episode was “In Memory of Coolio.” The rapper passed away in September 2022 after recording his last appearance as Kwanzaa-Bot. While earlier episodes of Futurama season 11 hinted at Fry and Leela’s potential children and fleshed out Nibbler’s relationship with Leela, this simple tribute to a real-life superstar proved the most moving moment of the series revival so far.
Coolio’s distinctive voice led him to screen stardom as well as musical success, with the rapper appearing in various TV shows and movies. As Kwanzaa-Bot, Coolio appeared in three episodes of Futurama and one of the show’s feature-length spinoff movies, Bender’s Big Score. Kwanzaa-Bot was a conflicted character who was both unable to explain his eponymous holiday and frustrated that it wasn’t more widely celebrated.
Coolio’s Acting Career Explained Even though he was mostly known as a rapper, Coolio appeared in plenty of movies and shows outside of his numerous Futurama cameos. Most notably, he had roles in the movies Get Over It, Batman and Robin, Shriek If You Know What I Did Last Friday the 13th, Leprechaun in the Hood, and Daredevil, as well as TV appearances in Charmed, Kenan and Kel, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, and Gravity Falls.
