# Carny Knowledge

Episode 9 of Family Guy season 21 (S21E09), the 398th Family Guy episode overall. Written by Steve Callaghan and directed by Brian Iles. First broadcast on 4 December 2022.

## Story

A quiz at the Quahog Fall Festival shows how little Peter and Chris know about each other, so Lois orders them to spend time together. They bond by mocking her, then outvote her at home. Lois forges essays and voicemail messages to set them against each other; the two find out and threaten her piano. She admits her feelings were hurt. Brian takes up with a fairground worker, Amber, expecting three days of nothing but sex, and is dumped. The story turns out to be a screenplay by Seamus.

## Production and reception

- Nicole Sullivan voiced Amber, the fairground worker Brian takes up with. ([Wikipedia: Family Guy season 21](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_Guy_season_21))
