Hosting the season premiere was Seth MacFarlane, the brains behind Family Guy, who also directed, produced and co-wrote this year’s feature film Ted. Sure, Family Guy might be a bit passé by now — when the audience cheered at the first mention of the show, MacFarlane himself said, “Still? Really?” But the medley of instantly-recognizable voices from Family Guy‘s most popular characters, all flowing from MacFarlane’s mouth, was a definite crowd-pleaser. He continued to showcase his voice-acting chops throughout his monologue — throwing in audio-impersonations of everyone from Kermit the Frog to George Takei — and in sketches throughout the episode.
