This Sunday, Oscar night, fans of Fox’s Family Guy may want to boot up the computer to check out an all-new short featuring maniacal child genius Stewie and martini-sipping, talking family dog Brian. The cartoon characters will host a 10-minute program titled Up Late with Stewie & Brian. The talk-show format will serve to cross-promote Family Guy and The Winner, a new Fox sitcom from Family Guy creator Seth McFarlane and former Family Guy writer Ricky Blitt.
Designed by Zeek Interactive and Flinch Studio, Up Late with Stewie & Brian will poke fun at most talk shows as Stewie delivers a clich’-ridden monologue and engages in trite, scripted banter with Brian. An interview segment will feature Rob Courdry, the Daily Show with Jon Stewart stand-out who stars in The Winner.
The Stewie & Brian Short will remain online at www.fox.com following the Sunday night premiere. Visitors to the site can also watch full episodes of The Winner prior to its March 4 television debut on Fox.
