The sexual orientation of Smithers, loyal assistant to curmudgeonly billionaire Montgomery Burns, is no surprise to avid watchers of "The Simpsons." Now he will finally come out to his boss and, officially, to viewers in the show's 27th season.
Smithers' sexuality will be revealed over a two-episode arc, executive producer Al Jean told TV Line.
"In Springfield now, most people know he's gay, but obviously Burns doesn't," Jean said. "We deal with that in two episodes. ... We actually do a lot with Smithers this year; he gets fed up with Burns not appreciating him and considers his options."
