TBS CELEBRATES 350TH EPISODE OF “AMERICAN DAD!”
WITH SOCIAL IMPACT CAMPAIGN.
TRIXIE MATTEL AND TRINITY THE TUCK HEADLINE #AMERICANDRAG SUPPORTING LGBTQ COMMUNITY

To celebrate tonight’s 350th episode of “American Dad!,” TBS is kicking off #AmericanDrag a new social impact campaign focusing on the series’ fan-favorite, gender-fluid character Roger.  Highlighting Roger as a drag icon, TBS has joined forces with iconic drag queens, Trixie Mattel and Trinity the Tuck, to create a custom video spot available on TBS’ social media platforms.  For every quote-tweet of the video using the hashtag #AmericanDrag, TBS will donate $1 to The Trevor Project, a leader in suicide prevention and crisis intervention for LGBTQ young people. To view the custom social impact spot, click HERE.  
 
Roger is an alien who has been hiding out with the Smith family for 18 years.  He frequently dresses in drag to disguise himself, and while doing so, exposes the Smiths to outlandish experiences and hilarious adventures. “American Dad!” currently in its 18th season airs Mondays at 10pm ET/PT on TBS, featuring the voices of Seth MacFarlane, Wendy Schaal, Scott Grimes, Rachael MacFarlane, Jeff Fischer, Dee Bradley Baker, and Patrick Stewart, along with special guests, Pete Davidson, Anjelica Huston, Jason Alexander, Jaleel White, Chris Sullivan, Ann Dowd, Amy Sedaris, Alan Tudyk, Alyson Hannigan and Simon Helberg.  
More about “American Dad!”
“American Dad!” centers on super patriotic CIA agent Stan Smith (voiced by Seth MacFarlane) and the misadventures of his unconventional family in Langley Falls, VA. Stan applies the same drastic measures used in his job at the CIA to his home life, where Stan’s blissfully unaware wife, Francine (Wendy Schaal), has an unfaltering loyalty that makes her blind to his unabashed arrogance. His left-wing activist daughter Hayley (Rachael MacFarlane), however, doesn’t let him off so easily and knows just how to push her father’s buttons, unlike her dopey, well-intentioned husband Jeff (Jeff Fischer) who doesn’t know much of anything.  Son Steve (Scott Grimes) is a geeky-yet-confident kid who spends his time playing video games and obsessing about the opposite sex. The Smith cabinet is rounded out by two rather unconventional members: Roger (MacFarlane), a sassy, sarcastic and routinely inappropriate space alien, and Klaus (Dee Bradley Baker), an attention-starved goldfish with the brain of a German Olympic skier
Disclaimer: For every quote tweet of this original post with #AmericanDrag from 5/8/23 - 5/12/23, TBS will donate $1, up to $20,000, to The Trevor Project. Learn more about The Trevor Project at TheTrevorProject.org.

Hulu Original "Drag Me To Dinner" Is served on May 31, 2023.


 Neil Harris, Bianca Del Rio, Haneefah Wood, and David Burtka star, with host Murray Hill, alongside 40 stunning drag queens who are featured across the 10-episode series – dinner is served Wednesday, May 31, only on Hulu

 

SYNOPSIS: Drag Me To Dinner is a riotous, format-busting, fourth-wall-breaking, unapologetic sendup of traditional reality competition shows! In each episode, two teams of successful drag queens go head-to-head to throw the most fabulous, awe-inspiring, drag-tastical dinner parties of all time, and be crowned champion by our three judgers: the multi-talented Neil Patrick Harris, drag superstar Bianca Del Rio, and the funny and fabulous Haneefah Wood.
 
Hosted by the hardest-working middle-aged man in show business: dapper NYC legend Murray Hill, each episode has its own unique theme, as revealed by resident expert, life of the party, and show producer David Burtka. Teams will focus on multiple criteria: Food & Drink, Design & Decor, and Entertainment & Overall Vibe ­– let the comedic culinary costumed chaos commence!
 
At the end of each episode, one team will be proclaimed the winner and walk away with the grandest “prize” in the history of television: The Glorious Golden Grater – because one team may be GREAT … but the other is GRATER!

Drag Me To Dinner is the glamorous, messy, faux competition show that no one takes too seriously. It’s deliciously addictive, so pull up a chair and dig in!
