But that wasnt the last time Rachael MacFarlane would lend her voice to Meg Griffin.
So, I got fired.
I have to say, in their defence, I wasnt very good.
Thats the difference I think between [voice acting and] on-camera.
Ive been replaced several times and you still go to work and its okay.
According to Seth MacFarlane, speakingto IGN in 2003:
It was just purely a contractual thing.
I dont even remember.
To be honest, I dont really, to this day, know what it was.
It was nothing there was no tension or anything.
She wanted to go, and she was very cool about it.
We obviously dont want to keep anyone there who doesnt want to be there.
I actually left the show of my own accord.
And only because I was in school and doingParty of Fiveat the time.
But I think the show is hilarious, and dont have a grudge against her at all.
I think shes a great actress.
Chabert-as-Meg has since become an in-joke on the show.
Shut up, Meg.
