If you've watched every episode of The Simpsons you might think you've seen every facet of the yellow-skinned family. But the series has never been up Homer Simpson's backside... until now.
According to the New York Post, Homer will undergo a colonoscopy - a procedure that examines the bowel - in an upcoming instalment of the long-running animated sitcom.
The unusual storyline isn't just another one of the TV dad's wacky adventures: it's part of a special animated segment of Stand Up to Cancer, a cancer-awareness telethon airing across all the major US networks on September 5.
Marge Simpson accompanies Homer to his colonoscopy, where she reportedly makes an unexpected discovery while watching the procedure. "There's his wedding band!" she cries. "He told me he was getting it polished!"
Homer is no stranger to hospitals, having ducked in an out of hospitals over the course of the series: he's had open-heart surgery, donated one of his kidneys to his father, and spent several weeks in a coma after an April Fools Day prank went awry.
According to gossip blog Perez Hilton, Everybody Loves Raymond star Brad Garrett will have his prostate examined on live television as part of the telethon.
