It contains comedy sketches, original animation, and live performances of Family Guy’s best musical numbers, as well as some surprise celebrity guests.
- The evening begins with a live performance of the theme song.
- Seth then introduces Walter Murphy and His Orchestra, who play one of the transition cues.
- The transition cue is used for an original animation, where Peter asks his family what celebrity they would have sex with.
- Seth then begins to sing Edelweiss, but is constantly interrupted by Alex, who is uncomfortable about it.
- Seth and Alex introduce some screen tests of Hollywood actors auditioning for movies they would never be cast in, including:
- Bea Arthur in Showgirls
- Gregory Peck in Transformers
- Kathy Griffin in The Piano
- The Cowardly Lion in United 93
- Renée Zellweger in Independence Day
- Kermit the Frog in Philadelphia
- Stewie introduces a sneak peek at Sherlock Holmes.
- Seth and Alex reenact the scene in "I Dream of Jesus" where Marlee Matlin calls Moviefone.
- Alex sings "Poker Face" as Matlin, but the real Marlee Matlin comes on stage and has never been so insulted in her life.
- Alex then tells a joke that only a rapist could hear, and the pianist laughs.
- Stewie introduces a sneak peek at Ninja Assassin.
- Alex and Seth introduce an animated clip from the failed Fox pilot Hill Street Jews.
- Seth sings the contradictory theme song to the failed Fox western Cal Johnson (played by Patrick Warburton).
- Seth and Alex play a little game in order to promote The Cleveland Show, where every time they would cuss, instead of being bleeped, the cusses would be replaced by a soundbite of Cleveland saying his name.
- Seth concludes by singing a medley of some popular Family Guy songs: Shipoopi, Rocket Man and Surfin' Bird.
