When the band began to rise to fame especially stateside, the members appeared as themselves on Nickelodeon's iCarly. Now it looks like the lads are going back to television for another small stint.
One Direction will appear in an episode of the adult animated comedy Family Guy, according to a report from Entertainment Weekly.

The episode is called "Run, Chris, Run" and is centered on Chris (Seth Green) running for homecoming king. How does One Direction tie into this? Well, the foursome will appear in a scene with Stewie (Seth MacFarlane), in which they'll sit around a campfire with Stewie telling them a scary story involving non-skinny jeans.
There is a small catch though. Only half of the band recorded lines of dialogue. It was Tomlinson and Payne!
The band's boss and founder, Simon Cowell, is also involved in the scene, but it is unclear if he will voice himself or someone else will.
"There are not a lot of shows that, in the same season, feature guest-star appearances by both Frank Sinatra, Jr. and One Direction," Family Guy executive producers Richard Appel and Steve Callaghan said in a statement to Entertainment Weekly, adding, "And we really enjoyed their time with us, until we realized we were both old enough to be their fathers."
