# The Story on Page One

Episode 19 of Family Guy season 2 (S02E19), the 26th Family Guy episode overall. Written by Craig Hoffman and directed by Gavin Dell. First broadcast on 18 July 2000.

## Story

Meg joins the school newspaper club to meet an entry requirement for Brown University. She lands a story about corruption involving Mayor Adam West. Peter thinks the piece is dull and swaps it for an article claiming that the actor Luke Perry is gay. The published story puts Meg at risk of legal action from Perry. To get her out of trouble, Peter sets out to prove the claim is true.
