"Sometimes they're so absurd and bizarre and funny it is difficult," West says. "You have a good laugh, sober up and go on."

West says he was collaborating with MacFarlane on a different project when the writer approached him for the role.

"He'd written a pilot for me and we had the same kind of comic sensibilities so he figured I would be the guy to bring the mayor to life in some zany way and he just called," West says.
With two immensely popular shows under his utility belt, West says he feels lucky to be a part of TV history.

"It's always nice to a part of a hot show," West says. "I think I'm really one of the fortunate ones. I can't really explain much about it. I'm not a critic. I'm just really grateful to be doing it."

When you watch the show you can just tell how much fun Adam West is having playing Mayor West. I wonder if we'll ever see deputy Mayor Burt Ward?
