- Harold Lloyd Jenkins, nacido el 1 de septiembre de 1933 - fallecido el 5 de junio de 1993, es conocido artísticamente como Conway Twitty fue uno de los artistas más laureados de la música country en Estados Unidos durante el siglo XX. La mayor parte de su trayectoria profesional la desarrolló como cantante country aunque también llegó a tener éxito con temáticas rock and roll, rythm & blues y música pop. Hasta el año 2000, tuvo el récord de más números uno en las listas de sencillos de country en 45 ocasiones.
- In "Bill and Peter's Bogus Journey", Twitty appears on two occasions. First, after Bill Clinton and Peter Griffin, both high on marijuana, steal a live pig to satisfy their hunger cravings, the pig farmer introduces footage of Twitty singing "Did You Know Your Love Had Taken Me That High" [1] as a distraction, after a joke in poor taste. Again as a distraction, Alexander Graham Bell introduces another of his performances with "You've Never Been This Far Before". [2] God tells Peter that Conway Twitty asks to knock off with the recurring gags involving him in "3 Acts of God".
- Peel was a fan of Conway's early records, which he mentioned on his 05 June 1993 (BFBS) show (coincidentally the day Conway died, although the show was pre-recorded on the date) and suggested to Josh, his friend, who was going to America, to visit Twitty City, a country music entertainment complex created by the singer. In 1999, Peel nominated Conway Twitty's 'For Your Precious Love' as his Peelenium 1958.

In 1999, Peel nominated Conway Twitty's 'For Your Precious Love' as his Peelenium 1958. Peel's last show for BBC Radio One in 2004 featured a Pig's Big 78 of the singer's It's Only Make Believe track, which Sheila, his wife, recalled singing with Peel in his last programme, that was mentioned on Margrave Of The Marshes (Bantam Press, hardback edition, p.389-90).
- In "Bill and Peter's Bogus Journey", Twitty appears on two occasions. First, after Bill Clinton and Peter Griffin, both high on marijuana, steal a live pig to satisfy their hunger cravings, the pig farmer introduces footage of Twitty singing "Did You Know Your Love Had Taken Me That High" [1] as a distraction, after a joke in poor taste. Again as a distraction, Alexander Graham Bell introduces another of his performances with "You've Never Been This Far Before". [2] He receives subtle references in "Baby Not On Board" when the Griffins sing "The Rose", one of Twitty's number one hits and again in "New Kidney in Town" when President Barack Obama dresses as Conrad Birdie from Bye Bye Birdie. Birdie was intended as a parody of Conway Twitty. In "Peter's Daughter", at the very conclusion of the show, a distraction is required when Meg is abandoned at the altar by her prospective groom, Michael Milano. Realizing that the church congregation, and the television audience, are there to see a wedding, Peter uses Twitty singing "Hello Darling" [3] to entertain them. In "The Juice Is Loose", after Lois arrives home to find Stewie on the roof, she yells at Peter, who then feels that he needs a distraction, and introduces Twitty. Twitty performs "I See The Want To In Your Eyes" [4] lengthily. The plan fails however, as Lois is still mad at Peter the next morning. An "encore" performance was shown in the advertisements for Family Guy Presents: Seth & Alex's Almost Live Comedy Show, but was not shown in the special. In "Family Goy", in a cutaway where Quagmire believes he got the spin-off, he starts to mention Conway Twitty as one of the things he'll look forward to not seeing anymore before cutting off his speech when he notices moving trucks at Cleveland's house. In It's A Trap!, Twitty appears as "Darth Twitty", performing a verse of "Games that Daddies Play". [5] An Imperial helmet is superimposed on his head. In "Lois Comes Out of Her Shell", Twitty appears as "Conway Bieber" singing "Only Make Believe" [6], wearing a CGI Bieber wig on his head; filling in for Justin Bieber after being beat up by Peter. God tells Peter that Conway Twitty asks to knock off with the recurring gags involving him in "3 Acts of God". A teenage Peter Griffin starts to play "Only Make Believe" for his adult self in a video in "Peter, Chris, & Brian", until adult Peter cuts it off, calling it annoying.
