Our very own Seth MacFarlane has been voted the smartest guy in television by Entertainment Weekly! Here’s the official blurb:
It takes some pretty big brains to make it in the TV business, which is why this week’s Entertainment Weekly honored and ranked the smartest people in TV. They come from all corners of the industry – from execs to whiz kids to foulmouthed comedians.Entertainment Weekly polled Hollywood insiders to find out which 25 TV titans are behind the sharpest shows and deals around. The top slot goes to Seth MacFarlane, who earns the $100 million that FOX is paying him to keep Family Guy and American Dad on Sundays through 2012, especially when you consider that Family Guy DVDs and merchandise have pulled in a reported $1 billion for 20th Century Fox. MacFarlane has also secured a full-season order for a Family Guy spin-off called The Cleveland Show, and still finds time to shoot his Cavalcade of Cartoon Comedy Web shorts for a separate deal with Google.
Here’s what the promo in EW will look like:
Good Job Seth!
As I’d mentioned in the EW comments section for this list, you absolutely deserve every penny of that 100 mill. And I’ll be sending you an extra 20 bucks to ensure that you will keep up the excellent work, but mostly to piss of all those soreheads angered by the ranking.
