When Meg misses Tom Tucker's report in "The Kiss Seen Around the World", she gasps that she is missing the news. Mistaken, Peter notes that they all miss Huey Lewis and his band, but that he needs time to create.
In "Brian's a Bad Father", Quagmire demands that Peter give him his Huey Lewis CD back. Peter responds that he wants a new drug, and Quagmire acknowledges that at least he has been listening to the album.
After the guys find a kid that stole Stewie's tricycle in "Encyclopedia Griffin", Peter notes that they go together better than Huey Lewis and the Jews. In a cutaway, Huey starts to sing "The Power of Love" until the Jewish band members promptly announce they are breaking up after Huey sings about not needing money.
He and his band are parodied as Lennox Lewis and the News in "Tales of Former Sports Glory".
In "Vat Man and Rob 'Em", Joe states that his favorite genre is songs that shout names of places, with "Heart of Rock and Roll" by Huey Lewis being a favorite of his.
