At 24, MacFarlane became the youngest showrunner in television history when his animated series “Family Guy” aired on Fox. The show, which just celebrated its 25th Anniversary, has garnered him five Emmys and makes him the tied record-holder for most voice-over Emmy wins of all time. MacFarlane also serves as co-creator, executive producer and voice actor on the fanfavorite animated series “American Dad!”. He also created, executive produced and stars in the Emmy-nominated space adventure series, “The Orville.”

On the feature side, he wrote and directed TED, TED 2, and A MILLION WAYS TO DIE IN THE WEST. MacFarlane also hosted the 85th Academy Awards – where he was nominated for “Best Original Song” for Ted – and “Saturday Night Live.” Through his production company, Fuzzy Door, MacFarlane is currently gearing up for the second season of Peacock’s “Ted”, in which he will reprise the voice of the iconic, foul-mouthed teddy bear.
