Seth Macfarlane Announces His New Big Band Album On NBC’s ‘THE TONIGHT SHOW WITH JAY LENO’ Tonight

The Family Guy creator is branching out, and tonight he'll be talking with Jay Leno about his Big Band album release.

“I’m working on an album actually for Universal Republic Records,” said MacFarlane.

“I had an offer to do an actual big band album and I took it. I said yes.”

When Leno asked what fans could expect, MacFarlane teased: “Swing arrangements of classic tunes. We kind of deliberately touched stuff that the Deans (Martin) and the Franks (Sinatra) and the Sammys (Davis Jr.) didn’t do yet.”

After the announcement MacFarlane took up the microphone and sang “Cream in My Coffee,” backed by “The Tonight Show” band.
