in the 1960s series of Batman. MacFarlane found West's character and performance in Johnny Bravo so funny that he created a similar character for Family Guy. Following the real Adam West's death on June 9, 2017, Mayor West died offscreen in Family Guy as revealed in the episode "Adam West High". Following his death, MacFarlane said, "Family Guy has lost its mayor. He is irreplaceable". Producer Steve Callaghan told Entertainment Weekly that there were still five unaired episodes featuring West that would air in the upcoming season. Callaghan revealed that they had not decided how they were going to address the departure of West's character from the series, while also revealing that it is something they have been dealing with concerning the loss of Carrie Fisher in December 2016. Callaghan went on to say that both the departures of Fisher and West from the show will certainly reflect the importance that each of their characters and actors had within the series. Starting in the episode "Wild Wild West", West's position as Mayor of Quahog was assumed by the character's western rural cousin, Wild West, who is voiced by Sam Elliott.
