'The Simpsons' writer Al Jean is 'proud' of his “prediction' of a female presidency in an episode of the series' 11th season more than two decades ago.
'The Simpsons' writer Al Jean bragged about his 'prediction' of Kamala Harris as president in an episode of the series' 11th season - twenty-four years ago. Jean took to the social media platform X to post a picture of Lisa Simpson in a Harris-like purple pantsuit next to a snapshot of the VP in an eerily similar outfit of the same colorful hue. '@TheSimpsons ‘prediction’ I’m proud to be a part of,' Jean wrote.
' Lisa goes on to ask about fiscal availability for a 'bookmobile,' to which others respond that there’s no money because they've 'borrowed from every country in the world.' The episode originally aired in spring 2000, 16 years before the Trump presidency it predicted, and takes place six years from today, in the year 2030. Dan Greaney, writer of the episode, told 'The Hollywood Reporter' in 2016 that he wanted the storyline to serve as a 'warning to America.
