Family Guy Star In Talk Show

'Family Guy' character to host talkshow

Family Guy's Stewie is to host a new late night internet talkshow.

The spinoff, due to launch later this year, will air on the show's official website and across News Corp's online portfolio, including MySpace.

"When we bought MySpace we looked at the most popular groups and Family Guy was number one so we started kicking around ideas of how we could extend it in a unique form, not just repurposing an episode but doing something different," said Ross Levinsohn, president of Fox Interactive Media.

Family Guy was revived by FOX last year for all-new episodes following a successful run in syndication.

Oh this is just too good to be true, Stewie has the perfect characteristics to do this, I'm intruiged to see how they'll go about doing it.

[Skummy]

Hmmm...I'm wary. I never really liked the idea of Stewie becoming more of a central character, and giving him a spin-off, especially one of this nature, could be disastrous. Obviously it all depends on the writing, but I have a feeling that this won't be great.

[GRIFT]

I'd hardly call an internet broadcast a spinoff... I think it will be a fun little show.

[Mj3]

Ill watch it if I ever catch it.

Rather see a series 5 though

[Tarheels.]

I think this could either be really good or really bad. Stewie is one of the reasons I watch Family Guy, well Peter too of course. But if they had a "spinoff" with any person from Family Guy I would definately choose Stewie to be in it.

Brian would suit this set-up more than Stewie I think. I miss maniacal Stewie that happened to be intelligent and able to speak, instead of the new bastard Stewie that talks all the time but never really gets with the killing.

Brian isn't a character that I like really, he comes across as an egotistical prick.

... and Stewie doesn't?

If Seth McFarlane has anything to do with anything, it's bound to be good.

Gilmore Girls says "hello".

... and Stewie doesn't?

Stewie tries to come across like that but always fails in a comedically funny manor.

Stewie is awesome, I do think Chris is horribly under-rated though.

"My name is Chris. I have to be on my best behviour tonight and not mention poo...Oh God waht have I done!"

Classic!

[John Stones' Paint Trophy]

Chris is the worst one. Well, after Meg but Meg is fucking shite.

Brian is one of the best characters. The fact he's a egotistical prick makes him that much funnier.

[NobBe Nobbs]

Am I the only person who likes Meg?

[Cactus Drags]

Yes. Brian is the best, but I reckon Stewie's still a good choice for the host.

[GoGo Yubari]

Am I the only person who likes Meg?

I liked Meg before it just became "Meg, we don't like you" as the only joke involving her at all.

[TheArsenal]

Stewie is such an awesome character. He is the one thing that got me hooked on Family Guy.
