After turning down the episode, James Woods took to Twitter to inform his followers about his decision. On April 29, 2018, Woods tweeted, "I was recently offered another #FamilyGuy episode and reluctantly turned it down for similar reasons. It was so mean-spirited, so totally political, and (worst crime of all) simply not funny. The rabid hatred of conservative values has ruined comedy. #Sad."
Woods also attached a link to a Fox News article discussing a White House correspondents dinner comedy sketch backfiring, but the article isn't available anymore. When clicked, the link just takes the viewer to the website of Fox News, which has been known through the years for its oftentimes pro-conservative sentiment.
Since Woods turned down the 2018 episode of "Family Guy" offered to him, he hasn't made any more appearances on the show himself. His last episode was a 2015 Season 15 episode titled "Inside Family Guy." Apparently, Woods' sentiment about the direction the animated series has gone hasn't changed since he hasn't returned to the series.
