He has a slew of No. 1 songs and albums under his belt and has stormed stages while performing in front of sold-out arenas worldwide. However, if you ask The Weeknd, co-writing and starring in American Dad! is one of his greatest accomplishments. The singer recently shared his After Hours project, an album that has been sitting atop charts since its release weeks ago. This evening (May 4), The Weeknd's episode of Seth McFarlane's long-running animated series finally aired, and it included a performance of a satirical song titled "I'm a Virgin."

Meanwhile, in a recent interview with Variety, The Weeknd spoke about how his collaboration with American Dad! came to be. “I’m a longtime fan of the show,” the award-winning singer said. “I always wanted to play a character that was the opposite of the public’s perception of me—and of course make fun of myself. Once I was given the opportunity I took complete advantage."
"Joel Hurwitz believed in the vision and he helped execute it beautifully," The Weeknd added. Just in case you missed it, we included a clip from the show below. Check it out.
Stewie & Brian Talk Coronavirus On "Family Guy" Podcast
Seth McFarlane brings Stewie & Brian out of hiding to lighten the mood with a brief yet hilarious "Family Guy" podcast.
We could all use a little levity given the current predicament facing the world, and what is Seth MacFarlane's madcap masterpiece Family Guy if not a purveyor of exactly that? All things considered, it was inevitable that Stewie & Brian would have a few musings on the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, and while production on the series has come to a halt, that hasn't stopped MacFarlane and company from doing what they do best -- improvising.

Today, Seth MacFarlane uploaded a makeshift podcast of sorts, complete with crude albeit charming animation. Having expended all board game options, including the dreaded last resort Sorry, Stewie and Brian of Family Guy fame decide to whip up a five-minute podcast addressing the state of affairs. "Before we start Brian, I'm going to need you to take my temperature," begins Stewie. "I think you know how."
The pair proceed to rattle off a few ble options for battling corona-induced boredom, but not before Brian attempts to heal the global wound with a spirited rendition of John Lennon's "Imagine." It doesn't take long for his partner to nip that in the bud, making it clear that inspirational public singalongs are off-limits even in a pandemic. "Obviously, one of the main problems right now is panic buying," addresses Brian, who proceeds to offer up some life-hacks to combat a possible toilet paper shortage. "If you own a tie, you have toilet paper," suggests Stewie. "I would recommend scooting your ass on the lawn," offers Brian, ever resourceful.
