The show’s in its 35th year, I think we’re going to start seeing more of this. Anyone that was 30 when the show started is coming up on eligibility for Social Security and Medicare. I’m curious how long the core cast will stay active, and if the show attempts to recast or finally calls it quits when one or more of them step down.

I don’t think any of the original Sesame Street muppetiers are still working, for instance, but Big Bird and Elmo are still going strong.

I was Bart's age when the show started. I'm now older than Homer.
