longest-running
Longest in duration
Longest-running describes something that has continued for more time than any comparable thing—a show, series, tradition, or institution: the longest-running musical on Broadway, the longest-running joke in the family.
The term typically appears in superlative claims about entertainment, businesses, or recurring events.
