The regular hosts of the 3rd Hour of TODAYon NBC reacted to a recent episode of Family Guy that referred to them as "nonsense people." Seth MacFarlane's widely-acclaimed animated series is currently airing season 20. Throughout the 300+ episodes of Family Guy, the show hasn't shied away from making jokes that reference (and often poke fun at) hot topics, from politics to pop culture.
