Like Nostradamus, anything you predict will come true, given enough time.

Hank Azaria Thinks ‘The Simpsons’ Could Trudge on for 40
Seasons:
""You know, we’re doing seasons 35 and 36,” Azaria told People.
“I would guess that it would probably go to 40. It seems to be
doing well."
Of course, the definition of “doing well” has changed in recent
years, admits Azaria, the guy who has voiced Moe Szyslak,
Chief Wiggum, Comic Book Guy and other prominent
Springfieldians since 1989. “But whatever the standards are
now, we seem to be doing well,” he says. “People still enjoy
making it. They seem to want the show. So I imagine we keep
going. The voices don’t really age. So we can keep doing it.
And the animation doesn’t age. The animation does get
better — and quicker.""
