Great choice, was extremely impressed by him on SNL. It wouldn't surprise me if he hosts multiple times if he does well.

A shock at first, but yeah, he's a pretty good choice. Hopefully he'll be given wiggle room to be edgy. And he's into Sinatra-type music, which should make for a good musical montage in the opening.

A better idea to attract younger audiences than Hathaway/Franco. Approve.

I'm not a fan myself, but it's an inspired choice after the enormous popularity of Ted.

He's a great showman. I think he's a perfect choice. Very Billy Crystal.

Definitely a great choice as he seems to be a pretty good improviser. Should be a fun show.

I mean if they're looking for a prominent entertainer who isn't necessarily a full-time actor, why not get Jon Stewart again? I would welcome that with much more open arms.

MacFarlane is, it seems to me, more accessible than Stewart. The impressions and such. Less political and less sarcastic.

Plus, let's face it: MacFarlane just directed and headlined a HUGE, huge comedy hit, so he's hot.

Also, he's more of an entertainer.

I don't get the backlash... MacFarlane is a FANTASTIC choice.
