“Tucker Carlson’s latest opinion piece once again makes me wish Family Guy was on any other network,” MacFarlane tweeted Sunday. “Look, Fox, we both know this marriage isn’t working any more. The sex is only once a year, I don’t get along with your mother, and well… I’ve been having an affair with NBC.” MacFarlane was referring to his TV megadeal he made with NBC Universal’s Universal Content Productions last year, leaving his longtime studio home, then-20th Century Fox Television. MacFarlane has previously tweeted his gripes with Fox News, including in 2018 when, in response to Carlson urging his viewers not to trust other news sources, he said he was "embarrassed" to work for Fox because of "fringe s***" on Fox News.

Megyn Kelly slams Seth MacFarlane for griping about Fox News and Family Guy airing on Fox after making "gazillions" from the company

“I have no tolerance for that,” Kelly said on her SiriusXM show, according to Mediaite, in response to the Family Guy creator's tweet on Sunday. “The same way I have no tolerance for James Murdoch running around, besmirching Fox News." She added: “You can’t make your gazillions off of the entity and then once you have them say they’re disgusting, I am horrified. It’s like James Murdoch is saying nasty things about Fox while he’s rides on a jet paid for by Fox News, in it from his mansion paid for by Fox News, on his way to his yacht paid for by Fox News. So spare me if I don’t have my little violin out for him and others, you know, who profited off of the Fox empire and now just want to say they’re disgusted to have made a mint off of him.”

Fox boss calls Family Guy "part of the Fox DNA" after Seth MacFarlane tweeted he wished it was on another network

Fox Entertainment president Michael Thorn responded to MacFarlane's tweet last month expressing his displeasure with Fox's connection to Fox News. "Family Guy is part of the Fox DNA," Thorn said at the TV press tour. "Creatively, they continue to thrive, and we plan on keeping it on our air for for a while. We enjoy a really great relationship with Seth and the other executive producers on the show.”

I agree he is a hypocrite for slamming the same company that made him rich what other network would keep such a repetative show on the air for 22 years.
