‘Family Guy’ Crossover With ‘The Simpsons’ All Set By September; Writer Alex Sulkin Sees Twitter As Platform For ‘Funny’ Guys

The "Family Guy" crossover with "The Simpsons" will be aired on Fox this September in a one-hour special called "The Simpsons Guy."

This will be the third time for a "Family Guy" crossover with "The Simpsons" after brief cameos in 2009 and 2012, according to Exeter Express and Echo.

The network also released the official synopsis for the "Family Guy" crossover with "The Simpsons" which reads:

"Peter and the Griffins get out of dodge and end up in Springfield, where they are greeted by a friendly stranger named Homer Simpson, who welcomes his new "albino" friends with open arms. The families get along famously: Stewie becomes obsessed with Bart and his old-fashioned pranks; Lisa takes Meg (Mila Kunis) under her wing and is determined to find something - anything - at which she excels; Marge and Lois ditch housework for a little bonding; and Peter and Homer fight over the best beer in town - Pawtucket vs Duff."

Meanwhile, "Family Guy" writer Alex Sulkin offers a good advice for would be comedy writers, use Twitter as a platform to launch their careers.

"Twitter is now another version of a résumé for somebody who wants to be in comedy. Jobs can be won or lost on Twitter," he said in an interview with UK'sGuardian. "I don't know if it's quite on the level of a spec script but it's another way to check out someone comedically."

He said Twitter also helped expand the reach of comedy to cut across classes as he narrated that when he started at "Saturday Night Live" in the early 1990s, most of the staff were from Harvard.

"Today it's different, and I think Twitter has something to do with that. It's made comedy more widespread. People who are living under a rock but are funny now have an opportunity for everyone to see them being funny," he said.
