Family Guy gets President Trump to "hire" Peter Griffin for a "fake news" episode

Entertainment Weekly

Peter will join Trump's staff as White House communications director, at least for one episode, after the president realizes he's an expert seller of fake news, according to Entertainment Weekly. The Griffins will move to Washington, D.C. for the episode. “Although this episode was written almost a year ago, fortunately Trump has done nothing since then to embarrass himself or our nation,” Family Guy producers said in a statement. The Fox animated comedy hasn't told that many Trump jokes, though it did have Peter impersonate Trump for its 2016 Emmy campaign.
