8 Unusual Demands Made By Guest Stars On American Dad
5. The Weeknd Wanted To Write And Star In His Own Episode
If The Weeknd likes your show, you should really let him write and star in his own episode. That's exactly what Seth MacFarlane did when the singer reached out and expressed how big a fan he was and how much he would love to write and be in an episode.
The episode A Starboy is Born follows the story of how Stan thought kidnapping The Weeknd would teach his son Steve a lesson. The result of this ingenious yet questionable scheme is a hilarious interaction between the star and the Smith family. Not only is the writing excellent, The Weeknd actually came up with some original song material just for the episode. The songs featured in the episode were all written by the star, making his performance that much more valuable.
This opportunity was too good to say no to, and as a result, The Weeknd is credited as co-writer for the episode. A definite must-watch if you’re looking for some light-hearted entertainment or feel like bopping out to some satirical songs with a bunch of cartoons in your living room.
