In 2019, “The Simpsons” paid homage to “The Sopranos” with an episode dedicated to Springfield mobster Fat Tony, voiced by Joe Mantegna. At the end of the episode, Homer, Marge, Bart and Lisa have dinner in a diner as Journey’s “ Don’t Stop Believin’ ” plays.

Season 36 of “The Simpsons” debuted Sunday night, and in the words of Gen Z: “It is so over.”

After claiming Fox “has been trying to end” the show for years, O’Brien showed clips from what he said were unaired series finale scenes from “classic episodes,” like 1990’s “Bart the Daredevil” and 2000’s “Little Big Mom.

Viewers watching Sunday's 'The Simpsons' Season 36 premiere were told that it was the series finale — but it wasn't really the last episode.

"The Simpsons" will continue its streaking as the longest-running sitcom after airing its "series finale" Sunday.

Bart celebrates his 11th birthday with a party attended with many guest characters and extended cast members from across the series. Including John Cena, characters that have died, and others rarely seen such as Danny DeVito returning as Herb Powell for a single line.
