In 2002, he was awarded the Hollywood Walk of Fame star. In 2017, he was named an Officer of the Order of Canada for "his extensive and acclaimed body of comedic work as an actor, writer, and producer." Following a series of appearances on several Canadian television programs, Mike Myers attained recognition during his six seasons as a cast member on the NBC sketch comedy series Saturday Night Live from 1989 to 1995, which won him the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing for a Variety Series. He subsequently earned praise and numerous accolades for playing the title roles in the Wayne's World (1992–1993), Austin Powers (1997–2002), and Shrek (2001–present) franchises, the latter of which is the second highest-grossing animated film franchise. Myers also played the titular character in the 2003 live-action adaptation of the Dr. Seussbook The Cat in the Hat. Myers acted sporadically in the 2010s, having supporting roles in Terminal and Bohemian Rhapsody (both 2018). He made his directorial debut with the documentary Supermensch: The Legend of Shep Gordon (2013), which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival. He created and starred in the 2022 Netflix original series, The Pentaverate, and appeared in David O. Russell's comedy thriller Amsterdam.
Family Guy follows the Griffin family—bumbling patriarch Peter, his wife Lois, their three children Chris, Meg, and baby Stewie, and their anthropomorphic dog Brian—as they navigate absurd situations in the fictional town of Quahog, Rhode Island. Peter works as a safety inspector at a nuclear power plant while constantly pursuing get-rich-quick schemes and indulging in childish antics that inevitably backfire. Stewie, the precocious infant, schemes to kill his mother and take over the world from his crib, while Brian serves as the family's sardonic voice of reason despite his own neuroses. The show thrives on rapid-fire cutaway gags, pop culture references, and irreverent humor that ranges from slapstick to dark satire. Each episode finds the family embroiled in increasingly ridiculous predicaments—from Peter's feuds with the giant chicken to elaborate musical numbers—that test their dysfunctional bonds. The series balances crude humor with surprising heart, occasionally exploring genuine family dynamics beneath the chaos. Supporting characters like the Chicken, Ernie the Giant Chicken, and various townspeople add layers of absurdity. Family Guy became a cultural phenomenon for its willingness to push boundaries and satirize everything from politics to pop culture, establishing itself as one of television's most quotable and endlessly meme-able comedies.
