Riding on the success of his first feature film/sleeper hit Ted, Seth MacFarlane will take the stage as the host of Saturday Night Live's season premiere on September 15. He will be accompanied by musical guest Frank Ocean. I think Seth MacFarlane is a delight, and in the midst of this insane political season, I have a good feeling that he will be right at home with the cast. If he doesn't sing, then I will consider that a ripoff. Also announced are the next two hosts: Joseph Gordon-Levitt, with musical guest Mumford & Sons, and Daniel Craig, with musical guest Muse. That will bring us into October, at which point we will need funny business more than ever as we enter the home stretch before the election. (via Deadline)

    Going to go out on a limb and guess that MacFarlane does a song/dance number. Just a crazy hunch!

    Gosh, I wonder if we’ll continue to see Armisen’s cringeworthy blackface Obama, and Kenan in drag, or will Lorne have discovered that LO AND BEHOLD, several funny black people exist on the planet.
