This prediction had the entire solid saying “D’oh!”

And after voicing Lisa Simpson for 36 seasons, youngest youngster of Homer and Marge Simpson, Yeardley Smith was amazed that one prediction got here true — twice!

However that doesn’t imply it was the one one main occasion that the Fox sitcom referred to as. As Smith put it, “There is also the killer hornets and now we have murder hornets. Great! Listen, they just have to knock it off because it never seems to be good news.”
As viewers could bear in mind, in the 2000 episode “Bart to the Future,” a glance into the future confirmed Lisa Simpson as President of the US, telling her workers, “As you know, we’ve inherited quite a budget crunch from President Trump.” She is then advised by Secretary of State Milhouse Van Houten that America is now broke.

As of late, together with voicing a personality that has spanned many many years, Smith’s podcast Small City Dicks lately received Finest Documentary Podcast on the Girls in Podcasting Awards.
“I cohost with my now husband Detective Dan and his identical twin brother Detective Dave and Paul Holes,” the host defined. “All of the cases are told by detectives who investigated them so you get a real first hand account of what it was like to get all of the dominos to line up perfectly in order for justice to be served.”
Smith added, “If one domino falls, really, there are so many reasons and occurrences where a case goes sideways and it never goes to trial or whatever the case may be.”
As for a way she felt taking dwelling the coveted award?
“Honestly when they won and my name was called I was like, ‘What?’ I was so surprised,” Smith confessed. “I don’t win a lot of stuff! I realized I was woefully unprepared. But as I said in my little speech, I stand on the shoulders of great editors and an extraordinary team. I was happy to accept on our behalf.”
Celebrations have been so as, so the voiceover star emailed her enterprise associate and group and was like, “‘We won!’”
She teased, “Replies trickled in like, ‘Oh, what did we win?’ I was like, ‘You guys! You are the worst!’”
