"The Thief of Baghead" is the one hundred and eighteenth episode of Futurama, the fourth of the seventh production season and the ninth broadcast season. It is scheduled to air on 4 July 2012[2] on Comedy Central. Bender wants to take a photo of an actor whose face has never been seen so he joins the paparazzi.[2]
