Cherry Chevapravatdumrong

Cherry T. Chevapravatdumrong (; born 1977), also known as Cherry Cheva, is an American author, screenwriter, comedian, and producer. She serves as an executive producer of ''Family Guy'' and a co-executive producer of ''The Orville'' and '' Resident Alien''.

Early life

Chevapravatdumrong, a Thai American, was born in Columbus, Ohio, and raised in Ann Arbor, Michigan, graduating from Huron High School in 1995. She majored in psychology at Yale University, where she wrote for ''The Yale Record'', Yale's humor magazine. She later earned a Juris Doctor degree from New York University Law School, where she wrote for the comedic Law Revue. During law school, she spent her summers working at law firms and her winter breaks waiting tables at her parents' restaurant.

Career

She then moved to Los Angeles to pursue writing. Before working on ''Family Guy'', she was a writer's assistant on '' Listen Up!'' She released two young adult novels, ''She's So Money'' and ''DupliKate'', under the name Cherry Cheva.

''Family Guy''

She is now the only female writer on ''Family Guy'' (a fact mentioned in the episode "Roasted Guy"), and also a co-executive producer. Her last name was used in its entirety in the episode " And I'm Joyce Kinney" as the real last name of Joyce Kinney.

In the episode "Jesus, Mary and Joseph!", Peter breaks the fourth wall by rearranging the letters of her name in the opening credits to say "Chemotherapy vanguard vCr" (with one "r" left over, which he throws at Lois in a childlike tantrum when she points this out).

In the episode " Dead Dog Walking", Peter again breaks the fourth wall by saying that her address is 11700 Hollywood Way, North Hollywood, CA 91065, and that she is also a lawyer; this address does not exist.

In the episode " No Giggity, No Doubt", Peter lists her name among examples of people (mainly other ''Family Guy'' characters, increasing in obscurity) who should go on an excursion with Meg: "Cherry Chevapravatdumrong, that's how that name is pronounced."
