The Simpsons writers have been at it again, claim fans of the show, who have pointed to an episode in which Tom Hanks hosts a special show on Inauguration Day.
Not only is the 64-year-old Hollywood legend presenting the event, he is doing so in the cartoon after unrest had descended upon the United States.
It has become a running theme that the The Simpsons have played Nostradamus and this time it was there movie in 2007 that cast Tom as the calming voice to bring down the raging in America.
In real life, Tom was hosting Celebrating America on primetime, as Joe Biden's Inauguration Day was brought to a close by a number of musical heroes, who sang songs of renewed hope in the United States after the tumultuous Trump years.
In the movie, Tom addresses the public in a moment of "national chaos.”
In a cameo appearance in the film, Tom says: "The US government has lost its credibility, so it's borrowing some of mine."
The setting seemed remarkably similar to Tom hosting Celebrating America and it wasn't long until Twitter was flooded by fans pointing out the similarities.
One viewer screamed in a tweet: "HOW DO THE SIMPSONS ALWAYS PREDICT THIS S***”
The event that brought Inauguration Day to a close saw Tom joined by Kerry Washington and Eva Longoria in hosting and there were musical performances from Foo Fighters, John Legend, Bruce Springsteen, Demi Lovato, Justin Timberlake and Jon Bon Jovi.
Tom is often rated as one of the most trusted people in the United States and has played some of Hollywood's most iconic roles, including Forrest Gump.
The Simpsons fans were overjoyed that he was hosting the TV special, with one tweeting: "With Tom Hanks hosting tonight’s primetime inauguration special it’s time to remind everyone that The Simpsons never misses."
Another revelled in the calming voice of the actor, tweeting: "Tom Hanks, here to fix Trump's mess and lower our blood pressure further. Just as The Simpsons predicted.”
