Seth MacFarlane on Barbara Walters' 10 Most Fascinating People of 2012

ABC's Barbara Walters interviews "Family Guy" creator Seth MacFarlane.

[@Vanister]

He is without a doubt one of my favorite people in the planet, he deserves all the money he has made and should make even more, there is not an episode of family guy that doesn't make me laugh. I fucking love you Seth

[@pegyhill9333]

couldnt agree more

[@RB2331]

I agree 100 % ...the show has brought me so many laughs and he is simply brilliant !

[@jesusfollowerswomenministries]

God designed our world so that everything would exist in perfect harmony. He made humankind in His image, so that we had the capacity to worship Him and walk with Him. Because God created you, He loves you. You exist to glorify Him in a real relationship.Mankind has rebelled against God, choosing to live for ourselves instead of for Him. This rebellion, called sin, has come between us and God. This sin brings about brokenness in our personal lives, our relationships, and also our world. Not only has it separated us from Him and His perfect design, it also brings judgment and death.Because God loves us, He sent His only son Jesus to rescue us from our sins. The Bible says that “God shows his love for us in that while we were sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8). Jesus lived a perfect life, died on the cross as payment for our sins, was buried, and rose again from the dead. His resurrection proves that God has accepted Jesus’ sacrifice for our sins. Believe in Him and go to Jesus in faith and trust in Him and trust in Him for salvation and repent of your sins and He will hear from Heaven and forgive you of your sins and save you from all sin and from death and from the enemy and from the wrath of God that's against sin. (Romans 5,6,7,8, John 3:16, 1 John 1:9). I'll be praying for you to come to know the true God of all and experience His true love and Holy Spirit and salvation and i pray you'll go to Him and get saved Amen in Jesus name

I met Seth few years back at a comic convention in LA, I got talk to him and have a conversation with him about what he does and what he has achieved and I still think to this day that he is one the most interesting people that I have met in my life. And I never thought that he will answer my questions but he did. Even with those millions he is a very humble and funny person thanks Seth!! for all the laughs and hope to talk to you again in the future

[@mizzypinckney6321]

Seth Macfarlane is a freaking genius. The most talented person on earth!

[@mt1221]

He got every idea for The Family Guy straight from The Simpsons but doesn't credit Matt Groening. MacFarlane is a con artist...an idiot.

[@evaangus3596]

mt1221 If you don't like him why did you click on this video?

[@NoobFish23]

mt1221 A cheat is not an idiot. It takes a considerable amount of skill to be a con artist, and you should think about that next time. Also, it's not who does it first, but who does it best. Saying that I hate both shows, I'm here because I like the guy's style.

[@1ColdFuture]

Seth Macfarlane is definitely a genius and a national treasure.

[@ChaosInNythil]

I think he really deserve all the money he ever earned.. in us it seems like you cant say to much in tv.. witch is wierd becouse in europe you can say what ever you want.. we are not so sensitive as americans... seth dare to say things that will make us laugh, thats why Family Guy, American Dad and cleavland show is just orginal

[@yojohan4564]

South park :)

[@ChaosInNythil]

Ja South Park är oxå en teknad serie.. whats your point?

[@yojohan4564]

Det är svårt att säga att family guy och seths andra serier är originella när det är nästan är en exakt kopia på simpsons i sitt upplägg förutom att det är grövre humor och när south park var före family guy och är betydligt grövre i sitt språk.

[@JakeGraceAndGlory]

I don't care what people think, he may not be a perfect person, and he often has so-called "poor taste", but he is one of the most talented people I can think of. And I know he is an atheist, but God bless him, he is truly gifted.

[@nyckid10]

Seth, Larry David, and Louis C.K. are 3 of the most original, greatest comedic minds out there. And given that Seth does so much more than comedy just shows how fascinating he really is. I would say most fascinating dude in showbiz.

I wish he could've done the Golden Globes instead of the Oscars. That's the best audience for him. More carefree atmosphere. Casual tables and champagne and REAL (drunk) people. The Oscars are a bit "stodgy". Which is fine. "Old Hollywood". Glamour. Theater seating and tuxedos. There's a place for that. Just not a place for Seth.

[@malcolmmorin]

There is a video online, with an interview with Seth on one episode focusing on 9/11 some of the time. At the end of the video, Seth said that he was supposed to board Flight 11 back to L.A., but since he was drinking the night before, as well as his travel agent messing up the time by 10 minutes, Seth got to the airport about 10 minutes late. Just an hour later, he watched as his plane hit the North Tower.
