Planet Family Guy

Talking to The Hollywood Reporter, Seth MacFarlane has revealed that he really wants Hollywood legend Woody Allen to guest on Family Guy. "Woody Allen would be kind of cool," said Seth, "but I don't think he'd ever do the show."

He's also confessed that they have tried to get Captain Kirk actor William Shatner on board but "not had a whole lot of luck". "We've probably poked a little too much fun at him!"

However, Seth's pleased with the long list of high calibre guests they have managed to do the show.

Would you like to see Allen or Shatner do Family Guy? Or is there someone else you'd really like on the show?

“When Peter gives Lois’ father the bachelor party he never had, Mr. Pewterschmidt slips into a coma and not even Dr. House (guest voice Hugh Laurie) can bring him out of it.

Mr. Pewterschmidt soon bounces back and tries to regain control of what he’s built – even though it may be more difficult than Christmas shopping for Peter.”

Candace Marie got to voice Miley Cyrus, featuring the singer as a Disney-programmed robot that went crazy and blew up the town, last week and has now landed herself a recurring role on Family Guy.

Her recurring character is going to be one of Meg’s friends, Beth, that according to Marie, “is never really addressed in conversation but loves to chime in whenever she can. It’s fantastic and so much fun to tap into that character.” Although her interview with TV Fanatic seems to suggest she will be voicing other characters on the show too!

As for voicing Miley Cyrus, whom she claims to be a fan of, you’ve not heard the last of her. She will be doing some voice work as Cyrus on an upcoming episode of The Cleveland Show.
