Debuting in 1989, The Simpsons ended its 28th season in May 2017 & is set to return with two additional seasons taking it through its 30th season in May 2019.

Although, it depends on how exactly you're defining "comedy" since Saturday Night Live has been on the air since 1975 & that is certainly a comedy, specifically sketch comedy/variety show but for scripted shows, The Simpsons is the longest running.
