The results will be revealed on January 6, 2010.

“Cleveland and Donna are excited to have the house to themselves when Cleveland Jr. and Roberta go on a school trip to Washington, D.C., but a disgruntled Rallo will do whatever it takes to keep Cleveland and Donna apart. Meanwhile Roberta’s partying gets out of control and Cleveland Jr. comes to her rescue.”

As part of Seth Night The Cleveland Show will be at the special time of 9.30pm ET/PT with the brand new episode, Cleveland Jr. Cherry Bomb, featuring guest voices Jason Sudeikis, Arianna Huffington and Jamie Kennedy:-

Daryl Hall and John Oates will be providing the voices of reason and temptation in upcoming episodes of The Cleveland Show.

Oates said to Spinner Music:

“My son is a huge Family Guy fan. One day, Mike Henry, who is the voice of Cleveland, came back stage at one of the shows. He’s a real music lover, a great guy and asked us if we would do a voiceover on Family Guy and we did. Then when they spun off the show he asked us if we wanted to be almost like a recurring character. We thought it was amazing. We’re an angel and devil on the shoulder of Cleveland, giving him good and bad advice.”

They will be featuring as in the episode A Brown Thanksgiving as an angel and a devil on November 22nd and may feature in further episodes too.

Fox have a released a video of Mike Henry discussing the origins of a number of the names in The Cleveland Show to promote the series.

Kevin Michael Richardson, voice of Cleveland Jr. on The Cleveland Show is 45 today. Happy birthday Kevin!
