# Jonathan Weed

Owner of the Happy-Go-Lucky Toy Factory and Peter Griffin's boss in the early seasons.

## Core facts

- **Role:** Owner of the Happy-Go-Lucky Toy Factory
- **Voiced by:** Carlos Alazraqui in the series, credited in every listed episode. Butch Hartman voiced him in the pilot pitch.
- **First appearance:** Death Has a Shadow (S01E01, 31 January 1999)
- **Credited appearances:** 10 episodes across 3 seasons. This is a floor, because the source records at most ten voice credits per episode.

## Relationships

- **Employee:** [Peter Griffin](peter-griffin.md). Weed objects to most of what Peter does, often because it costs the company money, and fires or nearly fires him several times.
- **Dinner hosts:** the Griffins, in Mr. Saturday Knight

## Death and the factory

In Mr. Saturday Knight (S03E09), the Griffins have Weed round for dinner. He makes Peter head of toy development, then chokes to death on a dinner roll. Afterwards his video will announces that the factory will become a children's hospital straight away. Demolition machinery starts tearing it down with people still inside.

## Common errors to avoid

- **The voice actor changed after the pilot pitch.** Butch Hartman voiced the pitch. Carlos Alazraqui voiced every series episode.
- **Spelling varies.** This site uses Jonathan. The Wikipedia article is titled Johnathan Weed.
- **He is not a recurring character after Season 3.** He dies in S03E09, and all his credited episodes come from Seasons 1 to 3.

## Key episodes

- S01E01 Death Has a Shadow: first appearance
- S03E09 Mr. Saturday Knight: promotes Peter, then dies
