Eugene Luther Gore Vidal (October 3, 1925 - July 31, 2012) was an American author, playwright, essayist, screenwriter and political activist.

He appeared as himself in the "Mother Tucker" as a guest on Brian Griffin's radio show on WQHG-FM 97.1 FM, who is quite shocked to see that Brian's literate call-in show, The Lunch Hour has become the outrageously lewd Dingo and the Baby show. A hot dog shot during the promotional stunt he walks in on lands in his mouth, winning him $100.
