"Hannah Banana" is the fifth episode in the eighth season of the American animated television series Family Guy. It originally aired on Fox in the United States on November 8, 2009. The episode follows baby Stewie after he sneaks backstage at a Miley Cyrus concert in Quahog, eventually discovering that she is actually an android and causing her to wreak havoc on the town. Meanwhile, Chris proves to his family that the Evil Monkey who lives in his closet is actually real, and eventually comes to realize that the monkey is actually friendly, well-spoken and intelligent, when he begins spending more time with him than his own father.
First announced at the 2009 San Diego Comic-Con International, the episode was written by Cherry Chevapravatdumrong and directed by John Holmquist. It received mixed reviews from critics for its storyline and cultural references. According to Nielsen ratings, it was viewed in 7.73 million homes in its original airing. The episode aired during an "all-Seth MacFarlane" line-up, along with the live-action special Seth and Alex's Almost Live Comedy Show, and featured a guest performance by Candace Marie, along with several recurring guest voice actors for the series. "Hannah Banana" was released on DVD along with seven other episodes from the season on June 15, 2010.
Chris does poorly on a test at school and blames the Evil Monkey living in his closet, which he says prevented him from being able to study. His parents, Peter and Lois, are fed up with Chris talking about the Evil Monkey, saying it does not exist. Later, Stewie, a self-proclaimed Hannah Montana fan, learns that Miley Cyrus is having a concert in Quahog. Tickets to the show are sold out mere seconds after being made available for purchase, leaving him unable to attend the show. Brian makes fun of Stewie for watching Hannah Montana, at one point, calling him "gay". But seeing him cry about not being able to attend the show persuades him to help get tickets.
