Stewie fans rejoice: the vocal tyke will be getting his own talk show. The show would be based on familyguy.com and other News Corp properties. While it would not be the first time an animated character has hosted some kind of talk show -- Space Ghost was first on Cartoon Network -- it has already gotten the attention of several Madison Avenue advertisers.

News Corp plans to target younger demographics with the program, the same that have become loyal weekly viewers of the television show both on Fox and in syndication. "We think that the property is perfectly suited for that audience," Fox Interactive Media president Ross Levinsohn said in a statement. The show is planned to launch as an Internet-only feature later this year.
