   Concludes at Midnight ET on December 6th

   Emmy Award(R)-Winning Multi-Hyphenate Amy Schumer Guest-Voices on the   
   FOX Season Premiere   
      
   LOS ANGELES, September 22, 2016 - America's holiday season kicks off   
   on Thanksgiving Day with the longest marathon in television history:   
   FXX's 600 episodes, 300 hour, 13-day run of every episode of TV's   
   longest running hit series, The Simpsons. The 27-season marathon   
   begins at 12:00 PM ET on Thursday, November 24th and ends on   
   Wednesday, December 6th at midnight ET - all 600 episodes airing in   
   chronological order over those 13 days.   
      
   The upcoming Simpsons marathon will become the longest-running   
   marathon in television history, surpassing the previous record holder,   
   FXX's 552-episode, 12-day Simpsons marathon, which ran from August 21,   
   2014 at 10 AM to September 1 at midnight. That marathon propelled the   
   nascent FXX to cable's #1-ranked network primetime in Adults 18-49 and   
   Adults 18-34 for 12 consecutive days.   
      
   FX Networks President and COO Chuck Saftler said, "The first 'Every.   
   Simpsons. Ever.' Marathon was truly so special and landmark in its   
   cultural relevance and impact. The unprecedented feat of reaching 600   
   episodes deserves something of that caliber to mark it and celebrate   
   it. Doing this is an act of true fandom, honoring Jim Brooks, Matt   
   Groening, Al Jean, all the writers, artists, directors, people behind   
   the scenes and the ridiculously talented voice actors who have brought   
   this series to life and kept it at the pinnacle of artistic excellence   
   these past 27+ seasons."   
      
   FOX will debut the show's record 28th season this Sunday, September   
   25th at 8:00 PM ET/PT, with the premiere episode featuring Amy Schumer   
   as the featured guest-voice. In the episode, when Springfield is   
   burned to the ground, the Simpsons beg Mr. Burns to fund its   
   rebuilding. Burns agrees - with one condition: he gets to put on a   
   variety show at the Springfield Bowl, on the all-new "Monty Burns'   
   Fleeing Circus."   
      
   FXX is the cable network home for all seasons of The Simpsons,   
   excluding seasons airing in their first run on FOX. FX Networks' app,   
   FXNOW, is the exclusive non-linear home for all seasons of The   
   Simpsons, excluding seasons airing in their first run on FOX.
