Waylon Smithers

Waylon Smithers Jr. (voiced by Harry Shearer) is a fictional character from The Simpsons. He is the self-proclaimed best friend and personal assistant of Mr. Burns (often condescendingly referred to simply as Smithers), and serves as an executive administrator at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant. Since the debut of the show, the term "Smithers" has become a common synonym for a spineless underling.
