“Family Guy” to Pay Tribute to Carrie Fisher in Her Final Episodes

Via Floor8.com:

The world lost an incredible talent and person when Carrie Fisher passed away. In addition to her role as Leia in the ‘Star Wars’ movies, she was also part of the voice cast of “Family Guy” for years, playing Peter Griffin’s boss, Angela.  “Family Guy” and its network, Fox, paid tribute to her in a recently released video. 

In an ​interview with EW, producer Steve Callaghan discusses the impact Fisher had on the show and the legacy she leaves behind. 

“Anytime we would bring her into the show — and especially if it as an unusual or unexpected context, she loved it,” he said of working with Fisher. 

“It was a blast. She was always full of energy, really excited to be there,” he continued. 

He also discusses a future episode dealing with Fisher’s death and her character’s departure from the show. 

“We do have an upcoming episode [airing next fall] where we deal with Angela’s departure. The way we’ve written it, and the way that our characters on the show are talking about Angela, it’s very much intended and a respectful goodbye to both the character of Angela and also Carrie Fisher.
