Seth MacFarlane hosting Oscars. This makes sense. Both aren’t funny! #Trolling

Seth MacFarlane is hosting the Oscars, an event known for inspiring utter apathy in my ass. It’s a bit fitting, since MacFarlane generally does nothing for me as well. Oh lord, I’m trolling, I’m trolling. So maybe Family Guy has devolved into a legion of non sequiturs, but this summer’s Ted was pretty radical.

Boing Boing:

Very groovy news coming through the entertainment pipeline this morning as we find out who will host the Oscars: Seth MacFarlane! TheFamily Guy and American Dad creator, who just opened up Saturday Night Live‘s new season with a bang, has been chosen to host the next Academy Awards telecast early next year. Hopefully, he will show up to rehearsal this time! (video link)

And speaking of Saturday Night Live, they have announced their October lineup of hosts and musical guests: This Saturday, October 6 will be Daniel Craig with musical guest Muse, October 13 will be Christina Applegate — coming back for her second time as host — with musical guest Passion Pit, and October 20 will welcome Bruno Mars, who will do double duty as host and musical guest. (That would have been such a great Digital Short, so can Andy Samberg and Co. please come back to do just one? If anyone knows the correct person to bribe, please let me know.)
