[[File:Simpsons cast.png|right|upright=1.35|thumb|Some of the many recurring and regular characters in ''[[The Simpsons]]'']]
Along with the [[Simpson family]], ''[[The Simpsons]]'' includes a large array of characters: co-workers, teachers, family friends, extended relatives, townspeople, local celebrities. The creators originally intended many of these characters as one-time jokesters or for fulfilling needed functions in the town. A number of them have gained expanded roles and subsequently starred in their own episodes. According to creator [[Matt Groening]], the show adopted the concept of a large supporting cast from the Canadian sketch comedy show ''[[Second City Television]]''.<ref name=avclub>{{cite news |url=http://www.avclub.com/content/node/47771/1 |title=Matt Groening: Interview |access-date=29 September 2008 |author=Rabin, Nathan |date=26 April 2006 |newspaper=The A.V.
