Family Guy sells out…gets One Direction as guest stars
Ten years ago, Family Guy would’ve raked coals over a band like One Direction, similar to the ravage beating Peter Griffin gave Justin Bieber in an episode.
Instead, it looks as though that Family Guy, which is pretty much turning into the animated equivalent of SNL in terms of relying on stars instead of jokes to bring in ratings, is bringing on the recently broken up British shit-rock group as guest stars in an upcoming episode airing this May on FOX. And just like a bunch of stuck up assholes, only half of the band recorded lines for the episode, more specifically featuring Stewie telling a scary campfire story.
The name of the episode is “Run, Chris, Run” and it will reportedly also feature Simon Cowell somewhere in the mix, probably stabbing someone in the back during a scene (see: American’s Got Talent). The main premise of the episode will see Chris running for homecoming king.
I may have officially given up hope on Family Guy ever getting back the luster it once had.
"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
