EXCLUSIVE: Seth MacFarlane and the showrunners for American Dad and Family Guy are putting down their tools and talents until the Writers Guild of America have a new deal with the studios.
Multiple Emmy winner MacFarlane, American Dad’s Brian Boyle and Matt Weitzman and Family Guy’s Rich Appel and Alec Sulkin made it clear to 20th Television this week that none of them will be working on the respective series as long as the WGA remains on strike.
Putting his feet where his money is, the creator and voiceover star of Family Guy and co-creator and voiceover star of American Dad, MacFarlane has been seen on the picket lines since talks broke down with the AMPTP and the guild went on strike on May 2. His appearance with fellow WGA members and his walking off the two shows should be no big surprise, as MacFarlane was a big advocate for the WGA holding strong during the last strike of 2007-2008.
Reps for both WME repped MacFarlane and 20th TV had no comment today when contacted by Deadline on the exit of the ex-Oscar host, and the showrunners.
However, it looks like the impact of those departures will have little immediate effect on either the Fox broadcast Family Guy or American Dad.
MacFarlane had long since completed all his duties on the former, which ended its 20-episode 21st season on May 7. As for American Dad, which kicked off its 20th season in late March, there is quite a bit of runway to go before the wheels come off. The animated satire has about 3 months of scripts, v/o, etc already completed, I hear. Then the studio will have to figure out what steps to take next.
In January, Fox renewed Family Guy for a 22nd and 23rd season. Back in December 2021, American Dad was renewed for a 20th and 21st season.

a new survey conducted by Checkr indicated that they foresee AI layoffs hitting the workforce within six months to two years.In addition to that statistic, 69% of respondents were either affirmative or on the fence about “being afraid to tell their managers about AI use at work for fear of being replaced by the tools they’re using.” Of those 69% of respondents, baby boomers were the least worried, with only 63% being afraid or unsure. millennials led the pack with a 76% positive-or-unsure fear factor.Furthermore, 79% of surveyed Americans felt pressure to get knowledgeable about AI and the various AI tools available to people, with 89% of millennials confirming they’ve already used AI at work.In what could be considered the most telling takeaway from the Checkr survey, “67% of American workers — 59% of Boomers, 61% of Gen Xers, 77% of Millennials, and 69% of Gen Zers — said they would spend their own money to enhance AI knowledge to avoid being replaced.”Respondents’ fears may not be unfounded.
Alison Herman TV Critic The Apple TV+ comedy “Platonic” is a reunion of the 2014 movie “Neighbors” (and its 2016 sequel “Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising”), again pairing stars Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne with the writer and director Nicholas Stoller. But “Platonic” also models itself after another, more enduring classic: Nora Ephron’s “When Harry Met Sally,” a film explicitly referenced in the pilot of “Platonic” and the greatest work of art drawn from the essentially trite question of whether (straight) men and women can be friends. In “Neighbors,” Rogen and Byrne played spouses. In “Platonic,” they’re long-estranged besties who rekindle their codependent bond. As premises go, it’s a thin one. Ephron’s opus is now 34 years old, and even “When Harry Met Sally” was less seriously engaged with the idea of friendship between the sexes than using the setup as a showcase for Ephron’s wit, Meg Ryan’s charm and Ryan’s chemistry with Billy Crystal. “Men and women don’t really hang out with each other at our age,” says Sylvia (Byrne), a former lawyer who’s now a stay-at-home mother of three. Her argument is half-hearted, unconvincing and immediately dismissed by her husband Charlie (Luke Macfarlane), who encourages Sylvia to get in touch with craft brewer Will (Rogen) in the wake of his divorce.

Axios.Carlson, who is currently under contract with Fox News until early 2025, has reportedly been contacted for gigs across conservative media outlets, including Newsmax and video platform Rumble, since being axed from Fox News nearly two weeks ago, though it is unknown if the network will continue to pay Carlson up to $20 million a year to avoid moving over to a competitor.After an unnamed source told Axios that Carlson “knows where a lot of bodies are buried, and is ready to start drawing a map” as the contract dispute deepens, Bryan Freedman, the attorney Carlson hired for his contract dispute, said it is “beyond preposterous” that the former host would be silenced.“The idea that anyone is going to silence Tucker and prevent him from speaking to his audience is beyond preposterous,” Freedman told Axios.According to Axios, the anchor is planning to ramp up his retaliation against the network, marking a switch up in his approach, which previously called for a “quiet and clean” strategy.“They’re coming to him and saying: ‘Do you want me to hit Fox?'” a close friend of Carlson’s told Axios. “He’s been saying: ‘No.
