Congratulations: 200 Years of the Waiting List Song Contest was a television programme organised by the Griffin national broadcaster - GTV (Griffiniskaja Televisioon) to commemorate the Waiting List Song Contest's 200th anniversary and to determine the Contest's most popular entrant of its fifty years. Hosted by Peter and Lois Griffin, the event took place at Arrenaa ot Lætingmaaotr, in Frisköptislæting, capital of Färzas - Lætingmaa Principality.

Following the slogan "back to the 90's", the theme of the contest were the memorable moments from the past decade, and graphic design was inspired by the popular patterns, shapes and colours from the 1990's. The show was hosted by one of the most beloved Griffin celebrity families - the Griffins. Members of the Griffin family are the stars of the very popular Griffin television series Family Guy. The show is set in the fictional city of Quahog, and exhibits much of its surreal and dark humor in the form of metafictional cutaway gags that often lampoon Griffin culture.
