American Dad Interview: After 20 Years, This Is Still the Series Most Controversial Moment

American Dad! is officially back at Fox for its 20th season. This time, it’s staying put. Originally launched in Fox in 2005 before moving to TBS in 2014, the long-running animated comedy was recently on the verge of cancellation until Fox came in to save the show. Now backed by a four-season renewal, the Seth MacFarlane-created series (alongside Mike Barker and Matt Weitzman) continues its long-running legacy alongside animation mainstays Family Guy and The Simpsons. While the return to Fox may come with fewer boundary-pushing lines, American Dad! Has never needed crude humor to thrive. The show continues to follow Stan Smith, a patriotic CIA agent, and his eccentric household; rebellious daughter Hayley (Rachael MacFarlane), awkward son Steve (Scott Grimes), wife Francine (Wendy Schaal), talking goldfish Klaus (Dee Bradley Baker). Collider’s very own Steven Weintraub had the chance to sit down with EPs Weitzman and Kara Vallow, as well as cast members Grimes, Schaal, Baker, and Jeff Fisher at the San Diego Comic-Con 2025. Throughout the interview, the American Dad! cast and crew revealed their favorite merch, shared their craziest scenes, and reflected on the show’s unexpected longevity. #americandad #foxanimation #AnimationDomination #sethmacfarlane #sdcc For interviews, movie reviews, and more visit https://collider.com FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL   / collider     / collider     / collider
