Adam West is getting the Family Guy tribute he deserves.
The Batman actor passed of leukemia in 2017. Before his death, Adam West voiced the Mayor version of himself on Family Guy for a total running of 14 seasons. Showrunners Rich Appel and Alec Sulkin have now revealed to Entertainment Weekly that they will air one of West’s previously recorded episodes and pay tribute to the late actor.
The episode will begin with Brian announcing that he wants to honor the Mayor by renaming the high school ‘Adam West High’. He then decides that he is going to run for Mayor himself which is working out well until Quagmire decides to put himself forward to.
“When Brian asks him why he’s running, Quagmire says, ‘Spite. I’m running out of spite for you’,” Sulkin said.
“And Brian says, ‘Well, that’s no reason to get into politics,’ and Quagmire says, ‘That’s the only reason to get into politics.’ There’s a great debate and the third act takes place on Quagmire’s tour bus for his campaign, and they have it out there.”
Appel then added: “Mayor West makes an appearance at the end of the episode, so the whole episode is bookended by our tribute to him, and there’s a sense certainly in the episode that he’s not replaceable.”
