The first time I saw this I quickly dismissed it as crazy Family Guy fan speculation. But now there's a Reuters article that lends it some cred. Apparently there will be web-only episodes of a talk show with Stewie as the host.

Stewie's show will be based on familyguy.com (http://www.familyguy.com) and other News Corp.-owned Web properties catering to the young demographics that have embraced the Fox series.

"We think that the property is perfectly suited for that audience," Fox Interactive Media president Ross Levinsohn said Tuesday.

He added that the idea for the show has been embraced on Madison Avenue by potential advertisers. He does not expect the program to cannibalize viewing for the Fox series or other "Family" brand extensions like DVD.

Stewie wouldn't be the first animated character to get his own talk show; that distinction belongs to "Space Ghost Coast to Coast," which aired on Cartoon Network.

Hopefully this turns into something really funny and not some crap. But since it's web-only, it may also be uncensored like the movie.
