Seth MacFarlane, the "creative force" behind Fox's Family Guy and this summer's holy-shit-it-made-how-much-money? film Ted, was announced today as the next host of the Academy Awards, which should come as pleasing news to people who plan out their TV-watching schedule four months ahead of time.
"It's truly an overwhelming privilege to be asked to host the Oscars," said MacFarlane. "My thoughts upon hearing the news were, one, I will do my utmost to live up to the high standards set forth by my predecessors; and two, I hope they don't find out I hosted the Charlie Sheen Roast." You can read the full announcement here.
MacFarlane's recent stint as host of Saturday Night Live may have won him the job, as he turned in a pretty decent performance, which these days basically consists of not setting the stage curtains on fire and knocking over the studio cameras like a series of dominoes.
The internet is abuzz with excitement over the announcement, although the general critical consensus already seems to be that most people liked the Oscars better when Matt Groening hosted them the first time.
