In the season’s first “Weekend Update” segment, Seth MacFarlane shined as Olympic swimming sensation Ryan Lochte, who’s become known as much for his stellar swimming talent as his terrible interview skills. “Yeah, I was America in Olympics” MacFarlane mumbles, later adding, “Aw man, it feels so weird to be dry.” He nailed Lochte’s signature brand of goofy, aloof ditziness, musing about the fall television shows he’s most excited about: “Monkey Hospital” (also known as “Animal Practice”) and “Goon” (also known as “Go On”). We’ll use Lochte’s rating scale and give MacFarlane’s foray into celebrity impressions “4 swims.”
