Emirates, fly better. Hi everyone and thank you for tuning in to the 274th episode of Awards Chatter,

The Hollywood Reporters Awards podcast.

I'm the host Scott Feinberg,

and my guest today is one of the funniest, smartest,

and most altogether unusual guys in Hollywood. A man who got into animation as a little kid,

followed his passion, and at the age of just 24 became the youngest executive

producer in the history of television, when his show Family Guy was ordered to

series by Fox. Over the 20 years since the show went on the air it has been

canceled and renewed twice. He created other animated series for the network including American Dad, Border

Town, and the Cleveland show. He became a film director with 2012's Ted, which until recently

was the highest grossing R-rated comedy not adapted from

pre-existing material. He hosted the 85th Academy Awards and he created and

starred in a live-action sci-fi drama series for Fox that just wrapped its second season.

The Orville.

I'm talking of course about Seth McFarland.
