It’s walking that line between old-fashioned showmanship and allowing it to be contemporary with a little bit of bite. Johnny Carson and Billy Crystal are two hosts who walked that line. There’s a moment on Family Guy that’s just Gene Kelly dancing with Stewie – that’s what we have to achieve, a dance between the traditional and the new.”
