The REAL Dave Portnoy Wants To Do “Family Guy”
People are buzzing about last night’s episode of Family Guy that featured a spoofed One Bite Pizza review of Stewie and Chris’ upstart pizza restaurant that was later shut down due to health code violations, this despite the fact that “Dave Portnoy” came by and gave a glowing review of Stewie’s fresh-baked pizza
Unfortunately, it was not actually the real Dave Portnoy that pizza review, a typical Family Guy bait and switch that has happened in the past (that episode with fake Kevin James still irks me) where it looks like we’re going to get the real thing and we don’t. Fortunately, it seems as though the real Portnoy is game to do a voiceover despite the fact that he wasn’t crazy about the ribs towards the viewers of his very popular web series which includes Family Guy producer Alec Sulkin among the ranks.
Will Family Guy spring the cash and go and get the real Dave Portnoy? They DID get the real Pete Davidson last night in a quick cutaway gag but nobody seemed to give a shit. So, here’s hoping that Family Guy can get the REAL Dave Portnoy while supplies last.
Synopsis:
Family Guy continues to entertain its die-hard fan base with razor-sharp humor, spot-on parodies, spectacular animation and orchestra-backed original music. Since its debut in 1999, the series has reached cult status among fans, and its breakout star, a talking baby, has become one of the greatest TV characters of all time. Family Guy has racked up numerous awards, including an Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Comedy Series, only the second animated series in television history to be honored with such a distinction. Most recently, series creator and lead voice actor Seth MacFarlane (voices of “Peter Griffin,” “Stewie Griffin,” “Brian Griffin” and “Glenn Quagmire”) was nominated for the 2021 Emmy Award for Outstanding Character Voice-Over Performance and won the 2019 Emmy Award for Outstanding Character Voice-Over Performance. Cast member Alex Borstein (voice of “Lois Griffin”) won the 2018 Emmy Award in the category. MacFarlane also was nominated that year. He won the 2017 and 2016 Emmy Award in the category, and was nominated from 2013 to 2015.
Family Guy is a 20th Television Animation production. Seth MacFarlane is creator and executive producer. Rich Appel and Alec Sulkin serve as executive producers and showrunners, while Steve Callaghan, Tom Devanney, Danny Smith, Kara Vallow, Mark Hentemann, Patrick Meighan and Alex Carter are executive producers.
"There are also other characters that come and go (also owned by the Warner Bros. Discovery conglomerate media company)."
Huh. Is that just referring to other characters from the show itself, or is this implying that the new season is going to have cameos from other WBD IPs
