Clickbait Press Having Field Day With Tom Hanks/Coronavirus “Prediction” From “The Simpsons Movie”

 

Yeardley  Smith has voiced Lisa Simpson since The Simpsons was just a series of janky-looking animated shorts that ran on The Tracey Ullman show in 1987. She’s tickled by the predictions, and just as spooked out as the rest of us. “Maybe we’re sort of a modern day Nostradamuses, or Nostradami,” she laughs. “I’ve sort of joked that the writers have a crystal ball in the middle of their table in the writers’ room.”

She adds, “that’s sort of unexplainable…and…it feels like magic.”

However, Smith says with a laugh, “The other thing is that we’ve been on so long. Think of all the things that we’ve also predicted that haven’t come true.”

Well, you have to wonder which side of the fence THIS prediction is on. Fan speculation is running rampant that Tom Hanks somehow predicted his coronavirus quarantined status during his guest spot on The Simpsons Movie where he claims in an advertisement for a now devastated Springfield that he will have to be segmented away from society because of the government which is I guess kinda like getting coronavirus in Australia with your family. In any event, it sounds like the Hanks family is going to make a full recovery.
