The “Family Guy” creator also hosted Comedy Central’s roast of Trump in 2011, an event that also boasted rapper Snoop Dogg and television host Larry King.

Earlier Wednesday, Trump tore into the media during his first press conference in more than six months. He pointedly refused to take a question from CNN, calling the outlet "fake news" for publishing a story about intelligence reports on his entanglements with Russia.

Trump also blasted the intelligence community for the report, further inflaming an already tense relationship with U.S. agencies.

He also announced plans to hand over his business to his sons while he serves as president. But his plans did not include divesting his interests or a blind trust, as many critics have called for, citing concerns about potential conflicts of interest.
