Seth MacFarlane wishes Family Guy could leave Fox over the network's connection with Tucker Carlson

Deadline

“Tucker Carlson’s latest opinion piece once again makes me wish Family Guy was on any other network,” MacFarlane tweeted Sunday. “Look, Fox, we both know this marriage isn’t working any more. The sex is only once a year, I don’t get along with your mother, and well… I’ve been having an affair with NBC.” MacFarlane was referring to his TV megadeal he made with NBC Universal’s Universal Content Productions last year, leaving his longtime studio home, then-20th Century Fox Television. MacFarlane has previously tweeted his gripes with Fox News, including in 2018 when, in response to Carlson urging his viewers not to trust other news sources, he said he was "embarrassed" to work for Fox because of "fringe sh*t" on Fox News.
