The episode originally aired on Fox in the United States on February 12, 2012. In this episode, Peter decides to help Tom Tucker realize his dream to become a famous actor, so he becomes his agent as they go to Hollywood. But while there, they cross paths with a resurrected James Woods. Back in Quahog, Chris dates a girl who looks disturbingly like Lois. The name mimicks the name of a 1988 film Tucker: The Man and His Dream.
This episode was written by Alex Carter and directed by Greg Colton. It received mostly positive reviews from critics for its storyline and cultural gags. It featured guest performances from Mark Harmon, David Herman, Christine Lakin, Sanaa Lathan, Ellen Page, and James Woods, along with several recurring guest voice actors for the series.
The episode was dedicated to Ricky Garduno, a storyboard artist for the show.
While watching Tom Tucker on Channel 5 News, Peter learns that Tucker used to be an actor under the stage name George P. Wilbur, the actor who portrayed Michael Myers in Peter's favorite movie, Halloween 4. Later, Peter offers to become Tucker's agent to get him famous, but Tom refuses until an inane news story makes him reconsider. Tucker stars as a minor character in an episode of NCIS playing a mechanic that Leroy Jethro Gibbs questions.
