The Walt Disney Company announced its acquisition of 21st Century Fox assets, including the 20th Century Fox Movie Studio. Interestingly, this deal was humorously predicted by The Simpsons in a 1998 episode. The show has a history of making accurate predictions, including Donald Trump's presidency and Super Bowl matchups. The episode featured a gag with the 20th Century Fox logo labeled as a division of Disney. Showrunner Al Jean downplayed the prediction as a coincidence. The episode also referenced Kim Basinger's Oscar win and Alec Baldwin's nomination.
