The Simpsons’ Crystal Ball Strikes Again: Producer Spills the Beans on Their Funniest Prediction

Buy Me A Coffee

The Simpsons, a show so eerily good at predicting the future that it probably freaks out fortune tellers, is at it again—or rather, has always been. Producer David Mirkin recently spilled some behind-the-scenes tea about the funniest prediction they’ve ever made, and honestly, it’s pure gold.

During a chat with The Post at Vulture Festival, Mirkin, who’s been cranking out laughs for decades, shared what still has the writers doing spit-takes to this day.

“Okay, hands down, predicting Donald Trump as president is one of the most hilarious things we’ve ever done,” Mirkin confessed, possibly while fighting back both laughter and a single tear.

But here’s where things go full X-Files. When pressed about the show’s uncanny knack for seeing into the future, Mirkin didn’t hold back. “Alright, this is kind of a hush-hush thing,” he said, leaning in like he was about to share the Colonel’s secret recipe. “People always ask how we do it. Well…sometimes, time travelers pop into the writers’ room, drop some juicy tidbits, and bounce. Honestly, they just want to mess with everyone’s heads. It’s genius, and frankly, I support it.”

The Simpsons isn’t just a cartoon; it’s apparently a side hustle for time-traveling pranksters. And predicting Trump? That’s just them flexing. Classic Simpsons.
