 When Smithers was taken to jail, [[Kent Brockman]] asked him how it felt "to be accused of the attempted murder of [his] boss and mentor". Smithers replied, "I feel about as low as [[Madonna]] when she found out she missed {{W|Tailhook scandal|Tailhook}}." [[Sideshow Mel]] saw Smithers on TV, heard him quoting the Madonna line, and realized that the line was from the ''Pardon My Zinger'' episode that was being aired at the exact time that Mr. Burns was shot. This meant, Mel concluded, that Smithers must have seen that episode and therefore couldn't have shot Burns.
-Mel went to the police with this information, and they talked to Smithers again. His memory now clearer, Smithers remembered that he saw the entire show—in fact, he left the town meeting early to hurry home and watch it, when an old man (not Burns) got in his way and Smithers shot him. The man Smithers shot turned out to be [[Jasper Beardsley]]. Because Smithers hit Jasper in his wooden left leg, he was unharmed, much to Smithers' relief.

 Because Mr. Burns was shot at 3 p.m., and it was solidly established that Smithers was at home watching ''Pardon My Zinger'' at the time, he was cleared as a suspect and was free to go. The police, however, remained baffled as to the identity of the shooter.<ref name="[[Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part Two)]]">"[[Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part Two)]]"</ref>

 After learning of the Burns shooting, Smithers had a drunken memory of shooting someone, figured that he must have shot Burns, and went to the [[Cathedral of the Downtown]] to confess and get it off his chest. However, instead of a priest, [[Chief Wiggum]] was sitting on the other side of the confessional's screen, apparently waiting for someone to come in and admit to the shooting: "Boy, this thing works great."
