[@domimburgia935]

I always enjoy Seth doing his voices in talk shows and interviews

[@XRNC]

Me too so entertaining!

[@tassymccormick]

I do too, but I know he gets sick of it

[@javier77street]

Look up the clips of him on the Graham Norton show. He’s awesome. I think Tom Cruise is there too.

[@domimburgia935]

@@javier77street I remember that video I saw it couple years ago

[@mcfcguvnors]

He is impressive no doubt & has some great voice Range , Rogers a great one

[@nicholasgarrick8855]

I said it once ,and I'll say it again... seth MacFarlane is a national treasure he is one of the most talented human being of our time.

[@richn.1860]

Where did you say it once? I don't think you did.

[@Thee_Hamza]

I dont believe that you said it the first time

[@sunny5ma]

No

[@austin6727]

STOP SAYING IT PLEASE! WE CAN NOT TAKE YOU SAYING THIS AGAIN!!!!!

[@hotpotat0es]

God not again

[@YungJuazOfficial]

He acts, draws, produces, sings, plays piano and directs. A true goat and a real player.

[@louiseapplewhaite8496]

I could just literally listen to Seth talk all day. The man is my absolute favourite voice actor.

[@prdz311]

I especially like the part he called the left nazis for follwing hamas and lil jimmy had to interrupt hahahah

[@KD-xp2eo]

THIS!!!!

[@beatsbyanx]

facts he's so good lmfaoooo

[@cristina4436]

If anyone is referred as a Nazi is say is more the right party....

[@heyitsavaz]

@@beatsbyanxAnd hot

[@NerdoSuperbo]

Seth is the paragon of golden-age American comedy, all surgically performed through a masterclass of voice acting and singing. He represents what America used to look and *feel* like, for those of us old enough to remember such a cosmic shift in our "culture". Fearless, bold, brilliant. A true American icon.

[@boredtolife7879]

Bro about to nut

[@doomhead2332]

Indeed and it sure was a fast shift.

[@marknutt4398]

Yeah I was born in 1998 and Seth always was a comfort character, something of yesteryear and today - he’s still in touch because he is America .

[@AlexM-ye8qc]

Jesus Christ dude, I’m next. Clean off your knees. He has a golden voice and his comedies are fast and funny, poop and gag comedy galore. Hilarious in their own rights, ok, but spare us the nostalgic flashback of the good old days you are referring to - what the 90’s? 80’s? 70’s? 60’s? Every period had their “Golden Days,” and had their run. The consensus also had their run which was ‘yeah, it was hot and/or was funny for some, but it’s not what it used to be.’ What Seth IS is a product of the Frank Sinatra era, big band sing-songy era plus quick, witty, fart poop comedy writer with a great voice. It worked and took the culture by whirlwind as it should because it was effective and funny. But that’s not to say he is timeless and penultimate. Anyway. And don’t take it personal, I am in stitches with a lot of the work, just also plain-faced with as much of it. And don’t get me STARTED with Jimmy Fallon. What is this guys problem? Lol. Seriously. No flow obviously, and Mr. McFarlane just runs with it - because he as to obviously. He’s plays some lines and flaunts like a good old boy. Worth a third of a Billion. Iconoclast for sure. Credit. Seth that is. But relax a little… Jesus. Before I think you are AI.

[@BJSDAZ1983]

Seth doing the voices for his characters New Year’s resolution was the best part of my year so far! That man is a genius

[@colinjanssen7147]

Seeing Seth do the voices on camera is always a delight

[@LittleGhostyOfficialTM]

Lol the panic in Jimmy when Seth mentioned Nazi's. He rushed past that story quick haha

[@mrrobot8973]

I noticed that. One of the reasons I can’t stand the guy. I mean come on. It’s true.

[@BabyLambCreations]

Seth MacFarlane is a living legend. Talented in writing, voice acting, singing, and being so damn funny. Seems like a chill guy to hang out with.

[@thomasdemoor874]

He stole most of it from The Simpsons. He's a good at copying, not creating.

[@firstname__lastname]

This dude is one of the hardest working guys in Hollywood. He always has like 4 of 5 shows going on at the same time! Plus, all I see is Brian when Seth talks 😆😆

[@willienelsongonzalez4609]

Seth MacFarlane is such a gracious guest.

[@DaniMacYo]

I love how accurate he is with his characters. He can pull them off on the spot. 👏 I’ve seen others struggle to replicate it compared to their shows sometimes. Notice he kept drinking water, lubricating his vocals I reckon. He knew this was coming or he was just thirsty. 😅

[@jjkm17]

It's truly remarkable that he began with the two characters that he claimed were difficult to do. His ability to do so demonstrates his exceptional skills and talent.

[@tomwilson9542]

It's Jack Daniel's

[@maxalvira7823]

"at the time, we all agreed nazis were bad" 💀

[@stephenhendrickson812]

And then corporate schill Jimmy not wanting to potentially alienate any of his audience. “Heh heh umm we all still do”.

[@Smoshi]

He's a national treasure who should be protected at all cost

[@thomasdemoor874]

Please, for the love of God, stop using this phrase. It's lost all of its meaning. Martin Luther King Jr. was a national treasure, Ray Charles was a national treasure. Seth made a cartoon which he ripped off of The Simpsons.

[@RobustMustache]

Roger from American Dad is maybe the greatest comedy character ever created.

[@leonardoramirez4678]

I like whine!

[@RobustMustache]

Lol. I hear it in the voice. @@tenpenthouse

[@DefeatLust]

I have Cartman over him, but Roger is cool

[@ddstinger8480]

Roger seems inspired by Paul Lynde.

[@LetsGetACrisisGoing]

I always totally got the Andy Dick vibes from him....then they totally did it...classic...

[@Chr1st8l]

When he smiles, I smile. Infectious

[@kylespevak6781]

Seth is the one guy who needs a podcast. I love his voice

[@DavesAdventures933]

Seth had a plane ticket on one of the doomed 9/11 flights and he missed his flight by just one hour. He said he never missed a flight before. I think he was meant to miss that flight to bring us all laughter. Laughter is the best medicine. A laugh a day keeps the devil away. I’m glad you’re still here Seth. The world wouldn’t have been as funny not having him here.

[@GamingFanactic911]

He actually made a joke in the first Ted movie about him missing the flight. "Like s*** 9/11 I gotta get high." which is a reference to him drinking too much causing him to oversleep and miss the flight. Seriously though, it is crazy we could have lost him just like that. :(

[@justjokinntokin5474]

I read about that it wasn’t his time yet apparently

[@jacobdehaan4114]

Quagmire is definitely my favorite character on Family Guy. Seth is so great at voices

[@Grym0626]

Close your eyes and it feels like Brian is on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon 😂

[@Somtric]

No, not really. I can hear it every now and then, but no.. his normal voice is not entirely Brian.

[@OverEighteen-yk8lo]

He does sound like Brian

[@neko6]

The pitch probably went like - "So I do the squeaky voice for the dad, and the nasal one for the horny neighbor, and the posh british accent for the baby, and then there's the dog" - "oh, you'll do barks and stuff?" - "no, that's just my regular voice" - "Wat"

[@Somtric]

You people are deaf. @@OverEighteen-yk8lo

[@verakoo6187]

I certainly sounds close, but he's said in a few interviews that it's his most taxing voice to do. That's why he wanted to kill him off

[@jim39474]

More Orville, Seth! its so gooooood!

[@patrickthomas8890]

It’s the best, but I think it’s done. The ratings were never good enough to justify the time and money it cost to make. Might be for the best. Quality usually suffers the longer a show goes. The last episode felt like a nice finale anyway.

[@PiglipsMaximus]

If money isnt the problem they should make more, they could cut at least 3 minutes of space imagery saving millions alone ​@@patrickthomas8890

[@sameaston9587]

​@@patrickthomas8890 the wedding was a nice end but there's plenty of unfinished storylines for books, audio dramas, or comics to cover. At least give us a book series.

[@patrickthomas8890]

@@sameaston9587 Don’t get me wrong, I’d love more but I highly doubt it’s happening (at least anytime soon)…so I’m trying to be positive. The actress who played Cmdr Grayson pointed out how hard it is to film as an actor. Only 36 episodes over 6 years, which isn’t enough work to pay the bills. Hopefully a movie at some point

[@Ohitsuji12]

Love this guy. I love voice actors in general and it’s awesome that one of them has reached celebrity status. He was also amazing on Saturday Night Live.

[@darkflamestudios]

Orville was amazing! Even if we don't see any more, it was so good!!

[@mrnailman1]

Seth would be great as a talk show host

[@tahliahiggins8564]

Seth is literally the embodiment of how gracefully you age when you don't take life too seriously

[@Sarah1212mm]

i absolutely loved the Orville! i just wish it would come back. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💓!

[@Sarah1212mm]

Seth. i love you!!! 🙏🏻💓

[@edeeytheeagle4363]

6:30 I like how he did the Quagmire head move while he was doing the voice 😂😅

[@Heart2016Sim]

Just watched the first episode of Ted and it's definitely a Seth MacFarlane masterpiece

[@TheDylls]

The Orville does something that shouldn't be possible: A perfect blend of old-school Star Trek and Family Guy jokes 😂❤

[@PatMahomesBurner15]

Seth McFarland Is a Legend!

[@ccmi2081]

Miss Orville so much. 😭😭

[@DGoldy303]

This man is an absolute legend.

[@ZakWinnick]

Seth rarely does any voices from American Dad (Roger doesn't count, really, because he does Paul Lynde a lot) when he's on camera. That was pretty cool.

[@bettycunicelli8552]

And....this guy can sing!!!!! What a voice!

[@KD-xp2eo]

He has a beautiful voice!!
