Waylon Smithers (voiced by [Harry Shearer]
?) is
Montgomery Burns' adoring henchman. There has been much speculation about the relationship between Burns and Smithers, and Smithers' sexuality in particular. This has now been compounded by the tendency of Simpsons writers to emphasise Smithers'
sexual orientation to the extent that he is probably the first overtly
gay cartoon icon (though he is officially "
in the closet" on the show).
Smithers has the largest collection of Malibu Stacey dolls in the world.
