"The X-Files" Season 11 could be set to revisit some of its most colorful characters from past episodes. Is it possible that Fox Mulder and Dana Scully will reminsce about their fun times with The Stupendous Yappi as the Fox series pays tribute to the late Jaap Broeker?
There is little doubt that The Stupendous Yappi was one of the most memorable characters in the history of "The X-Files", appearing in two highly-acclaimed episodes and stealing scenes from David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson whenever he possibly can. Will "The X-Files" Season 11 feature Mulder and Scully paying tribute (or at least making a reference) to Jaap Broeker's celebrity psychic?
'The X-Files' Season 11 To Honor Jaap Broker's Stupendous Yappi?
Although The Stupendous Yappi's first appearance was in the award-winning "Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose", Jaap Broeker has already appeared several times in "The X-Files" as David Duchovny's stand-in. His tongue-in-cheek portrayal of the Yappi even led to a second appearance in the equally enjoyable episode "Jose Chung's From Outer Space". Unfortunately, there is no chance for Broeker to reprise the role in "The X-Files" Season 11.
Jaap Broeker passed away on January 19, 2015 due to a stroke (via TV.com). However, there is still a possibility that The Stupendous Yappi will be somehow honored when Mulder and Scully return in "The X-Files" Season 11.
Mulder And Scully Reference The Stupendous Yappi In 'The X-Files' Season 11?
He may not be a real psychic, but The Stupendous Yappi certainly left an impression on Mulder and Scully in the early years of "The X-Files". It is possible that Jaap Broeker's memorable character will be brought up while the former partners are reminiscing about their past in "The X-Files" Season 11.
