Family Guy to Star Trek and Beyond

Seth MacFarlane joins Dropping Names for a wildly funny, sharp and unexpectedly heartfelt conversation about a career that spans animation, orchestras, sci-fi, and hosting the Oscars… from Family Guy and The Orville to singing at the Hollywood Bowl, working with John Williams, and growing up a Star Trek fan who somehow became a starship captain.

They talk about early jobs, breaking into television, building an animated empire, Broadway dreams, directing actors who once inspired him, and what it really feels like walking into a room full of Star Trek legends trying not to grin like a kid.

This isn’t an interview. It’s three storytellers swapping stories about Hollywood, music, sci-fi, and the strange path from fan to franchise. Pull up a seat.
