Yesterday on Family Guy, Peter and Lois had a big fight because he screwed up. So, he decided to make it up to her by getting her a Cameo with Chris Daughtry. And it worked. But not in the way he wanted!
I would love to know how they made this happen because it was brilliant and so unexpected.
And did they pay the singer a salary or just his Cameo fee? That is, if it wasn’t temporarily unavailable.
When most people think of Seth MacFarlane, they think he is a crude man, just like his shows Family Guy and American Dad. But there is another side to him.
The actor also sings the classics and has released an album with Dynasty’s Liz Gillies. And coming this holiday season, the two are releasing a Christmas record full of the standards. And it gets even better because he says, “‘We Wish You The Merriest’ features 13 spectacular orchestral arrangements by Andrew Cottee at @dreamtownmus1c.”
With their voices and their songs, this Christmas is going to be a lot merrier when you put their CD on.
We Wish You the Merriest comes out on November 3rd.
Seth MacFarlane came out today and picketed with the actors and staff from his animated show Family Guy at Fox Studios. What his fellow strikers didn’t know is that he donated $1 million to the Entertainment Community Fund, according to Variety.
When he got home, he wrote a message on social media explaining his actions. “Pictured here are some of the incredible members of the Family Guy team this morning. Back in 2010, I was one foot out the door gearing up for ‘Ted’, with no sense yet of the future of the animated series without me. I needn’t have worried. The amazing team of writers, artists, actors, assistants, associates, production staff, etc. etc. were already steering the ship without me, and they’re still doing it today. They are people who have become my lifelong friends, and they regularly remind me of the best part of this business: working alongside people who utilize their talents and abilities to make your shared work better. I hope everyone in this photo takes a personal sense of ownership of Family Guy because it is beyond deserved,” he wrote. “And most importantly, EVERYONE here deserves to make a comfortable living in the industry to which they give so much of themselves. Very proud to walk the picket line with this group today. None of them should have to wait any longer for a fair and equitable deal. Also, I’m so glad no one smelled the booze in my coffee.”
We know MacFarlane for his naughty humor (which I have always found hysterical), but did you know he secretly has a huge heart? I worked for a nonprofit, and I kept hearing how he donated a lot of money to several charities. Then a few years later, I adopted my cat from a place where he donated so much money that they were able to build a cage-free facility for the cats to stay in until they found their furever homes. And these are just a few examples. Who knows what else he has done?
So the next time you question if you should watch a show or movie from him, do it. You know the money he makes will go to a good cause. I tell my cat that is Uncle Seth because, without his donation, I never would have found her.
Family Guy will be back for season 22 on October 1st, and Fox gave a sneak peek of what we can expect at San Diego Comic-Con yesterday!
Now that the show is old enough to drink, they are taking their humor to new lows. And I am here to see how low they will go. Isn’t that why we are still watching after all of these decades?
American Dad has been on the air for 18 seasons and two networks. So that comes to a lot of episodes. How many, to be exact? Tonight at 10p on TBS, they are going to celebrate its 350th episode.
In honor of the milestone, they are giving back in honor of the out-of-the-world character Roger.
Roger (Seth MacFarlane) is a gender-neutral alien, so he has to go in disguise all the time when he is not with the Smiths. Because of that, he dresses up as a woman a lot. So, TBS has joined forces with iconic drag queens, Trixie Mattel and Trinity the Tuck, to create a custom video spot available on TBS’ social media platforms. For every quote-tweet of the video using the hashtag #AmericanDrag, TBS will donate $1 to The Trevor Project, a leader in suicide prevention and crisis intervention for LGBTQ young people.
So go to American Dad’s Twitter, and quote that Tweet! By doing so, you are getting the word out there about American Dad’s 350th episode and helping raise money for the Trevor Project.
