Although the choice of Seth MacFarlance may be a surprise to some, the song-and-dance Family Guy creator will certainly keep things light and people on their toes come Oscar time. MacFarlane follows fellow TV personalities Ellen Degeneres and Jon Stewart as recent Oscar hosts.

After the success of Seth MacFarlane’s summer movie, Ted, MacFarlane proved that he’s able to hold his own on film.
