Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth is a fictional character appearing in the animated television series Futurama, voiced by Billy West.
The proprietor of the Planet Express delivery service for which the main characters work, the extremely elderly Professor Farnsworth, is the great-great-great-etc. nephew and only living relative of Philip J. Fry, the series' protagonist. Though never stated, he is therefore logically the descendant of Fry's only sibling, his brother Yancy. However, since it is revealed that Philip J. Fry is his own grandfather, and therefore Yancy's, due to his time-traveling exploits in the series, Farnsworth is logically in fact Philip Fry's direct descendant via his brother/grandson Yancy.
