Seth MacFarlane is the creator of Family Guy, American Dad and now the Cleveland Show spin-off, does the voices for many characters and is pretty much the definition of a multi-media mogul.

In this exclusive clip from The Other Network Writers Room (sorry for the crappy camera work - it was intended for audio and is essential listening for anyone who wants to be a comedy writer), Seth tells how he got to make the pilot for Family Guy and what he looks for when he reads a spec script.

Enter the Other Network Comedy Contest and get your work seen by top showrunners, agents and execs. The deadline is December 15, so get writing!
