Oscars Host Says He’s Wrong Guy To Host Oscars

Oscars 2013 host Seth MacFarlane: ‘I’m the Wrong Guy’ for the Job (L.A. Times)

Academy Awards host Seth MacFarlane has a message for the Oscars: Be careful what you wish for ’cause you just might get it.

The raunchy-minded creative genius behind TV’s “Family Guy” and “American Dad” and the summer box office hit “Ted” says the 85th annual Academy Awards on Sunday will be “a very thin-skinned room” for his ribald sense of humor.

“It’s a really bad match,” MacFarlane told CNN. “I’m the wrong guy to do this.”

What do you think? Is MacFarlane a good match for the Oscars? Will the Academy Awards regret turning over the reins to him? Will he push the envelope?

MacFarlane was joking, of course, in his comments to CNN. Or was he?

Let’s not forget MacFarlane’s surprising appearance at the announcement of the Academy Awards nominees last month. (MacFarlane is the only Oscar host to read the nominations since Charlton Heston in 1972.)
