Do we know donated the most words to the English language? The Simpsons has at least a couple. I think Asimov is credited with one or two obvious but not-previously-recorded derivatives of "robot" or "roboticist". Jabberwocky seems to have lots. Shakespeare is credited with thousands, but I think the evidence is very weak. Is there an official chart somewhere? :)

ETA: Of course, not forgetting Gulliver's travels. Endian (?), and arguably lilliputian and brobdignagian. (I'm sure I've heard both of those, but they're arguably still literary references, not yet words.)
