Planet Family Guy

Seth MacFarlane has been talking to Details magazine about his R-rated live action film Ted, being controversial on Family Guy and Proposition 8.

EW.com's 'Hollywood Insider' reports that Seth MacFarlane made an appearance on 'The Tonight Show with Jay Leno' on Thursday and revealed that his next project is to record a big band album for Universal Republic Records that will feature "swing arrangements of classic tunes." 

MacFarlane sang “Cream in My Coffee” with backup from The Tonight Show band.

Other guests on the show were Mickey Rourke and Plain White T's. 

Seth MacFarlane was the Roast Master of "Comedy Central's Roast of David Hasselhoff," taped at Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City, California on August 1, 2010.

According to Marc Malkin of E! Online: It was only about a minute into the show, when Roast Master, Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane brought up the vid (of a drunken Hasselhoff trying to eat a cheeseburger while on the floor): "He's multi-lingual," MacFarlane said. "He can speak English, Spanish, German and...whatever the f--k that language was in the cheeseburger video.

In honor of his popularity in Germany, Hasselhoff entered the roast surrounded by dancing German beer girls while performing "Hooked On a Feeling.""Marlee Matlin called," McFarlane cracked, "and said, 'Please, David, no more singing."

Among the guest roasters were George Hamilton, Pamela Anderson, Jeffrey Ross, Jerry Springer, Hulk Hogan, Lisa Lampanelli, Greg Giraldo, and Gilbert Gottfried.

The show is set to air on Comedy Central on Sunday, August 15, 2010 at 10PM ET/PT.

Talking to The Hollywood Reporter, Seth MacFarlane has revealed that he really wants Hollywood legend Woody Allen to guest on Family Guy. "Woody Allen would be kind of cool," said Seth, "but I don't think he'd ever do the show."

He's also confessed that they have tried to get Captain Kirk actor William Shatner on board but "not had a whole lot of luck". "We've probably poked a little too much fun at him!"

However, Seth's pleased with the long list of high calibre guests they have managed to do the show.

Would you like to see Allen or Shatner do Family Guy? Or is there someone else you'd really like on the show?
