And I'm Joyce Kinney

Wanting to fit in, Lois reveals her participation in a pornographic film when she was in college, with Joyce promising to keep her revelation a secret.

The next day, Kinney unveils the story on the local news, much to the anger of Lois, who is quickly shunned by the entire town.

"And I'm Joyce Kinney" was one of five episodes submitted for consideration for an Emmy Award in the "Outstanding Comedy Series" category in 2011.

As the family gathers around the television to watch the local news, Lois states her fondness of the new co-anchor, Joyce Kinney.

Reluctant at first to tell Joyce her darkest secret, she soon reveals that she was in an adult film when she was in college in the early 1980s, before she met Peter.

Expecting Joyce will keep it a secret, as she promised, she is shocked when the local news reveals her participation in the making of the pornography.

The porno causes the church to reaccept her and admit the Griffin family back into their congregation due to a positive opinion of the film, much to Joyce's anger.

Stewie in the meantime develops suspicions of having been conceived through the creation of the porno, heightened when he sees that one of the actors has a football-shaped head like his.

Alex Carter, Andrew Goldberg, Elaine Ko, Spencer Porter and Aaron Blitzstein served as staff writers for the episode.

Admitting her enjoyment of their friendship, Lois continually praises Joyce for her celebrity status, calling her as much of a bigshot as The Muppets character Miss Piggy.

It was followed by Family Guy creator and executive producer Seth MacFarlane's spin-off, The Cleveland Show.

Family Guy was watched by 7.08 million viewers, according to Nielsen ratings, despite airing simultaneously with Desperate Housewives on ABC, Undercover Boss on CBS and the Golden Globe Awards on NBC.

"And I'm Joyce Kinney" was submitted, along with "Halloween on Spooner Street", "Road to the North Pole", "New Kidney in Town" and "Trading Places".

Mark Hentemann, executive producer and showrunner of Family Guy said of the nominating process, "We had internal discussions in the writers' room, and it seemed like we were much more akin to the other primetime comedies than we were to children's shows in animation.

Christine Lakin provided the voice of Joyce Kinney.
Actress and comedian Ellen DeGeneres was parodied in the episode.
