Hank Azaria has given a very thoughtful answer on when he reckons The Simpsons will finally come to an end.

The 58-year-old, best known for voicing a whole array of characters on the program, has opened up a little bit about the show's future and whether he would ever depart from the series.

The voice acting maestro has revealed that he does 'wonder' about the possible end to the long-running iconic cartoon show.

Azaria has been a regular part of The Simpsons for years now.

The actor first started on the show when it debuted back in 1989 and has since enjoyed playing a big list of recurring fan-favourites for over three decades now.

Boasting some impressive range, Azaria voices the characters of Moe Szyslak, Chief Wiggum, Comic Book Guy, Snake Jailbird, and formerly Apu Nahasapeemapetilon, Lou, Carl Carlson, and Bumblebee Man among a few others.

Talk about a jack of all trades.

However, while Azaria is clearly in it for the long-haul when it comes to The Simpsons, he has revealed that he does 'wonder' about when it could potentially come to an end.

It's definitely a weird thing to think about considering the animated show - now 745 episodes strong - has been part of our childhoods, adolescence and even adult lives for 34 years now.

"I wonder about that, too," the voice actor revealed to People.

Azaria continued: "You know, we’re doing season 35 and 36. I would guess that it would probably go to 40.

"It seems to be doing well."

He went on to explain just how much 'standards' have changed throughout The Simpsons' longevity, adding: "Standards of what doing well means has changed so much for network television in the last 10 to 15 years.

"But whatever the standards are now, we seem to be doing well. People still enjoy making it. They seem to want the show."

That's for sure.

Azaria went on to confirm: "So I imagine we keep going. The voices don’t really age. So we can keep doing it."

He also commented on how the animation 'doesn't age' either - hence why Marge doesn't have any grey streaks yet or why Lisa and Bart aren't currently middle-aged.

"The animation does get better," Azaria added. "And quicker."

He also revealed that he has no plans on leaving the show anytime soon.

"Well, I'd be silly to leave because they pay me, first of all," Azaria explained.

He makes a fair point.

So, according to The Simpsons veteran, we have at the very least a handful more seasons of Springfield antics to enjoy.
