Tom Tucker

"That's right, Joyce, apparently, there were over one hundred kilos of cocaine right here in Quahog. And yet my guy can't get dick."

- Tom Tucker to Joyce Kinney

Tom Tucker is the anchorman of Quahog 5 News and one of the main heroes of TV series "Family Guy".

Tom ran the news with his former collague Diane Simmons, but after his death by Stewie, she was replaced by Joyce Kinney.

Tom is also a friend of Peter Griffin, as we saw in "Mother Tucker" and "Tom Tucker: The Man And His Dream", in this last episode Tom Tucker was the main protagonist.

After the events that occured during the tenth season, he appears to be improved, is no longer the selfish man that was seen in the early seasons, in recent seasons has pratically become a sympathetic and most good guy, almost without ever losing control, unlike what was seen in the past.

He appears also in "The Simpsons Guy" in the crowd sitting to Kent Brockman.

He is voiced by Seth MacFarlane.
