Diane Simmons
Family Guy Wiki, your fan-created Family Guy resource.
Diane Simmons (formerly Sieldman) is Tom Tucker's co-anchor on Quahog 5 News. Although when the series started she and Tom seemed to have a healthy and at times possibly sexual relationship, that quickly changed to where they instead bicker a lot on the air, and she soon became the butt of his jokes. She also hosts a talk show called Diane.
It is unknown whether she is married now, but she did have a husband, before he "blew his brains out", as commented once by Tom on the air, causing her to break down crying. She admits to being a bit of a bigot, such as once openly saying on the air that she is racist against black people. During the Special People's games, she and Tom commented together how watching the game would give them all a sick sort of laugh, and how all of them were most likely going to hell for it ("I'll see you there Diane", was Tom's retort).
It was revealed that Diane's real last name is in fact "Seidalman", hinting that she may be Jewish.
Simmons is also a dedicated actress having done some pretentious student films in college. At one point she was set to play the role of Anna in "The King and I" (having stolen the role from Loretta Brown), during Lois Griffin's first theatrical production. Unfortunately, Peter who stole control of the show from Lois as Producer, later changed the script so massively much that even Diane couldn't stand the direction the show was taking and quit. Peter took over the role-personally, turning Anna from a british female school teacher, into a male, cybernetic assassin from the future.
