The ninth season of the American TV series American Dad! originally aired on Fox on September 30, 2012, at 9:30/8:30c, and concluded on May 12, 2013, and consisted of 19 episodes. It was the last season to air while 20th Century Fox Television was still part of News Corporation, as on June 28, 2013, various entertainment assets of News Corporation were spun off into a new company called 21st Century Fox, with News Corporation retaining its print assets and Australian media assets.
Guest stars for the season include Wayne Brady, Alison Brie, Sean Hayes, Mariah Carey, Charlie Day, Michelle Dockery, Nathan Fillion, Will Forte, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Rupert Grint, Jon Hamm, and Shaun White.
Episode plots include Jeff discovering Roger is an alien and being stranded on an alien space ship in a two-episode story arc ("Naked to the Limit, One More Time", "Lost in Space"), Klaus finding his human body, then switching with Stan's ("Da Flippity Flop"), Roger becoming Stan's stepfather ("American Stepdad") and Hayley getting a job as a bar singer for Roger ("Love, AD Style").
The episode "Minstrel Krampus" was scheduled to air on December 16, 2012, but was replaced by a repeat of "Wheels & the Legman and the Case of Grandpa's Key" out of sensitivity for the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. To compensate for this, they aired the episode "National Treasure 4: Baby Franny: She's Doing Well: The Hole Story" early. "Minstrel Krampus" aired in the tenth season.
