What's the story behind this joke?
Announcer: For this evening's performance, the role of Jean Valjean
will be played by Kirk Cameron.
Stewie: OH! Oh, unbelieveable! Oh my God! How lucky are we, huh? 'HeyStewie, what are you doing tonight?' 'Oh, nothing, just watching KIRK
CAMERON play Jean Valjean!' Oh my God! Curtain up!
I have seen Le Mis and I am familiar with Kirk Cameron, but I still dont get it. I think I'm just missing something.
Can someone help me out?

That he should be be doing a serious role on stage is a long ways from bad comedy and so, yes, Stewie is practicing the ultimate in sarcasm.
Remember, Family Guy doesn't mention anyone famous (obscure or very) unless it's a slam.

Kirk Cameron and Jean Valjean both have similarities like being in news after a hiatus for different reasons and both have Bishop/evangelist influencing them.

So I think Stewie's sarcastic delivery is what's funny, and the fact that they happened to go to Les Mis on the night that Kirk Cameron was a sub...maybe it's more multi-layered than that, but that's how I took it, at least.

Les Miserables hails from an era in which it was felt that setting up a story which would shed light on the Christian view of redemption would necessitate a grand, sweeping narrative, with painstaking character development and moral complexity.
Kirk Cameron, on the other hand, could be called a hack fundie religionist. Some might characterize him as the kind of guy who responds to moral complexity by coming down with a nasty case of hives.
Given this, there's a kind of humor in picturing Cameron playing Valjean.
Heady stuff, to be sure; but there you have it.
