Some years ago, Seth MacFarlane was a student at the Rhode Island School of Design, where, for his thesis, he made an animated film about a rather peculiar New England family. That eventually became the TV series Family Guy, which MacFarlane produces, writes and voices many of the characters. He’s also the creator of American Dad! and The Cleveland Show — and even has a new album called Music Is Better Than Words, in which he sings classic American show tunes.

We’ve invited MacFarlane to play a game called “Five hours in the slammer will change a man.” On Sunday, Lindsay Lohan began a 30-day jail sentence that ended just five hours later.

MacFarlane answers three questions about celebrities in the big house. [Copyright 2011 National Public Radio]
