‘Family Guy’s Stewie to host talk show

A pair of announcements on the expansion of the Family Guy franchise today. Most recently, an annoucement by Devil’s Due Publishing that it’s snagged the license for a three-issue comic book mini-series entitled 100 Ways to Kill Lois by Stewie Griffin. Each issue will be 48 pages and run around six bucks.

But the most exciting news of the day is that Stewie will have his very own internet-based talk show, not unlike the pioneering Space Ghost: Coast to Coast. Reuters reports, “The tyrannical tyke in the Fox animated series “Family Guy” will be the virtual host of a talk show being developed strictly for the Internet later this year.

“Stewie’s show will be based on familyguy.com and other News Corp.-owned Web properties catering to the young demographics that have embraced the Fox series.”
