(CNN)It's been hinted at and talked around, but mostly it was an open secret: Waylon Smithers Jr. is gay.

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."


I wonder what Mr. Burns's response would have been in 1995 vs. 2015.

Didn't Smythers catch on fire one time and told Burns that he was flaming and Burns looked at the camera

He more or less publicly came out when Moe faked being a gay bar owner/politician. He's creeped Monty out like a hundred times now. They're jumping sharks on top of school buses at this point. I lived, loved, cherished and plagiarized this show as much as anyone, but It's time to hang it up Springfield.

He's been gay since the beginning. It's not like it's been that subtle.

My first thought was that it would be one of the two guys who are always together, but the with the other not being gay.

But I bet if you made this a thread on the poli board right now there would be a meltdown that everything in this country is being turned gay for attention

Sadly, you're probably right. The Smithers character and his pining for Burns has been hilarious, imo.

Never post there and only occasionally visit.

Q. Did the poliboard go full retard only recently, say, with this election season, or has it always been this crazy?

It's definitely been on a roll for the last six months or so. Maybe a little more. Although, it's always had more than its share of crazies. Really, sort of like a rant game thread but with politics.

It used to be a little on the right side, then it just kept moving farther and farther to the religious right and you just don't see the reasonable posters anymore.
