In an episode of "The Simpsons" titled "Elementary School Musical" which aired in 2010, the character of Milhouse predicted that Bengt Holmström, a Finnish economist, would win the Nobel Prize. The episode aired six years prior to Holmström actually winning the Nobel Prize in economics in 2016. This is not the first time that "The Simpsons" has made accurate predictions about future events and trends, earning the show a reputation for being surprisingly prescient.
