Seth Macfarlane

Seth Macfarlane: Alex Seth & Almost Live Comedy Show was a nice little half odd hours in between episodes of Family Guy Seth MacFarlane’s. Working with Alex Borstein, who voices Lois Griffin MacFarlane out in a nightclub, which included an orchestra and an audience.

MacFarlane has a good singing voice and is very skillful in how they can switch in and out of character voices such as Peter and Stewie Griffin. This had the effect of softening some of his trademark eccentricities. He sang a bit of “Edelweiss” from The Sound of Music, and while Borstein acted as if she, being Jewish, was offended by the choice, I was impressed by how well they sang MacFarlane.

A joke too long in which mocked Borstein voice speaking Marlee Matlin was also paid much less than a scandal that Matlin was allowed to leave the stage and rip into the hosts.

Another segment featured unequal “discarded screen tests”, as Bea Arthur imagined hearing for Kathy Griffin Showgirls and testing for the piano. Borstein weakly tried both imitations. MacFarlane, moreover, did a great Ed Wynn-Cowardly Lion from The Wizard of Oz.

Hedge their bets against viewers who can not stay for 30 minutes of live action making bad jokes or just beeped, MacFarlane including some Family Guy clips and cartoons, such as Stewie have to advertise for Sherlock Holmes and the Ninja Assassin . (Warner Bros. Pictures as the advertiser only intervened after Microsoft weaselled of their commitment.)

Marlee Matlin

Marlee Matlin: Deaf actress Marlee Matlin was on Family Guy Seth & Alex Almost Live Comedy Show.

Alex Borstein who mocks voice speaking Marlee Martin (a gag on Family Guy) sang Lady Gaga Poker Face’s (now my head). In the middle of it, Matlin went into action all pissed off, which obviously script. In any event, took the stage, shouted, and went on his way to the foot of the stage, pulled a cloth off the table where someone was sitting.

Chill Soda, Chill Soda

As the ninth episode of ABC’s Shark Tank unspooled, we met Dan Mackey. When he saw that California was dumping sugary sodas from the schools, he realized there was an opening for something organic and low-glycemic, with no high fructose corn syrup: his Chill Soda.
“A lot of people have great ideas. It’s just a matter of doing something about it,” he told us. And he’s right about that. He only wanted $50,000, but for just 10% equity. Using agave nectar, it has about half the calories of the regular sodas on the market. Right away, the pitch started to go flat, when Kevin O’Leary asked what was the one thing that marked the ability to sell in the market, and Mackey was apparently too nervous to answer. “Distribution!” O’Leary said. “Sorry, I thought that was a given,” Mackey said, and then said he already had a distributor working away, although he had only sold 250 cans. “You’re getting in on the ground floor of this.” You could hear a cricket in the Tank until Daymond John pressed a little more, and Mackey clarified: That was 250 thousand cans, worth $175,000 in sales. “I’m a marketing guy. I’m not in the beverage industry,” he said, and the Sharks knew it was time to go for blood. “You should never have ever told me that you do not know that business. I’m out,” said Daymond John.

WalletPop’s Jason Cochran caught up with Dan Mackey for our popular AfterShark series:

Kevin Harrington bailed next, saying it would take more money than he was willing to give, and Robert Herjavec followed. O’Leary admitted he was too scared of the cutthroat beverage industry, and he quit next. That left only Barbara Corcoran as a potential partner. Fortunately, Mackey was the type of guy she loves: earnest, hard-working, and eager. The others excused themselves because Mackey wasn’t slick, but she was tempted because of it. “You must be out of your mind!” O’Leary shouted.

Am I the only one who thinks that with each episode, this venal, bald billionaire behaves more and more like Mr. Burns from The Simpsons?

O’Leary begged her not to give him money, but that only egged her into solidifying her offer: $50,000, but for 20%. Mackey took it. John put his face in his hand. Cue the O’Leary histrionics: “The guy is going to get vaporized! You are guilty of murdering money, and you’re going to go to jail!” Corcoran, as always, was level-headed: “I can’t wait to show you my profits,” she sang. She capped the deal with Mackey with an Eskimo-style nose rub. “Enough! I’m happy with the deal.”

* Next, we met Dr. Geffrey Broderick and his daughter Kristina (with Casey the Pomeranian), selling Cornucopia Express natural pet foods. He has been selling his probiotic pet food out of his veterinary practice, and now he wanted the cash to take it wide. A lot of cash, it should be said: $300,000 for just a 15% stake, so right off the bat, we knew there was going to be a fight for control of his business. Broderick has a huge claim, though: His food can extend the life of a pet by 50%. Gotta hand it to Dr. Broderick, because he knew whom he was pitching to: “You put this in your food,” he said, “and you’ll be around to play with all the money you’re making.” He himself makes a smoothie with his dog food each morning, and he looked pretty good. O’Leary couldn’t be left out of that. He had a taste, too. Yes, we knew Kevin O’Leary would do anything for the cameras, but last night, the man ate dog food on national television.

Broderick hasn’t patented it yet because that would involve disclosing the secret recipe, but he hasn’t seen a case of cancer in his practice for as long as he could remember. Kevin Harrington, thinking like a TV salesman, said that the FTC would make him prove that. Herjavec took it a step further, saying he was mildly “offended” if it was true, because it was being applied to pets and not the human race, and that’s when he started raising his voice a little: “If that’s true, why the hell are we selling pet food? Why aren’t you in a real hospital getting funding from people and saving humankind?” He went out. Harrington went out, too, considering the absence of documentation defending the health claims. Corcoran agreed, and she went out. John said he had lost both of his dogs last year, but he, too, went out, leaving only O’Leary. He went out for the same reason as Harrington, leaving the Brodericks with an armful of unsold miracle pet food. He didn’t sell to the Sharks, but then again, Sharks eat meat.

* Catch-up time: We rendezvoused with nanny Tiffany Krumins, who scored at $50,000 investment for her Ava the Elephant, a non-threatening medicine applicator for kids. (We interviewed her on AfterShark: Click here for our time with her.) Barbara Corcoran was the first Shark to appear in the follow-up segment for one of her investment, and she and Krumins showed off the finished version of the applicator. We sat in on a meeting with the duo as they shopped it to giant pharmacy supplier Flavor X. We broke the story on AfterShark that Krumins had battled cancer, and Krumins, gesturing to her surgery scar on her neck, reported she’s now cancer-free. Corcoran took the opportunity to praise Krumins for working tirelessly, even from her hospital bed, and crowed “we’re on track to make millions with this product, and it just goes to show you that if you have the right product with the right person, anyone can succeed.” Barbara Corcoran’s philosophy of personality-based business, which she herself elucidated in an interview with WalletPop on AfterShark, is proven yet again.

* $1.5 million for a mere 10% equity. If you can get past that staggering figure, then you can brave the wild idea behind Virtusphere, the idea of Ray Latypov and Jim Dimascio. It was like Wii on steroids: a 10-foot sphere that you get inside, wearing a set of wireless goggles, so you can feel like you’re literally part of a simulation. The cameras being on, O’Leary wanted a crack at this, too (“seal me into the Pleasuredome!”). He also called them his trademark “crazy chickens,” but the pair was smart. They knew where the big bucks lie: military contracts, and they thought it would work best for combat training. Part of the reason: It costs $25,000 per unit, although the price could drop to $10,000. At those prices, they need to sell 30 a year to break even, which proved in a stroke that their valuation was based on potential, not reality. Putting a ball that big into your house is also out of the question on a wide scale, leaving this to arcades, theme parks, and the military (unlikely bedfellows, sure, but all of which recruit thrill-seekers), and on that basis, O’Leary and Harrington left the game. “It’s such a boy thing. I can’t even relate to it,” Corcoran said, bowing out. John also felt out of place with a concept like this, leaving only Herjavec. “I’ve never had an idea in the Shark Tank that I’ve loved this much,” he said. “It’s so early. And there’s no data. It’s so far away from the $1.5 million you’re asking for.” There was a tense moment, until he said, “Too many questions. I’m out.”

* Gayla Bentley, the plus-size fashion designer with a bigger-than-life personality, was last on the show. She was so effusive, and her pitch for high-end clothes for big gals was so promising, that WalletPop interviewed her for our special AfterShark series.

Family Guy Lois Griffin Sexy, Marge Simpson

People who watch “Family Guy” are used to a strong case of the random and bizarre. This week is no different, as we’re treated to a seemingly appropro of nothing Superfriends intro credits and two seemingly unrelated storylines (Quagmire discovers internet porn, finally; and Peter falls in love with a Kathy Ireland cutout from the 90s). But after Lois has a health scare, we get to the kosher meat at the heart of the show: Lois is Jewish, which of course has predictably zany effects on her bizarre family.
After viewing the episode, titled “Family Goy,” it occurs to me that the seemingly out of place intro is actually a perfect callback to the role that Jewish comic book writers had on the industry. Many comic book heroes – Superman and Spiderman among them — were created by Red Sea pedestrians, as an outgrowth of outsider status. And in today’s TV cartoon families, Jewish identity is a theme that’s played for both semi-serious inquiry as well as laughs. Both the Simpsons and South Park devoted episodes to finding out what it means to be Jewish: now it’s time for Judaism to get the Griffin treatment,

For people who think that the concept of “spoilers” applies to Family Guy, you’ll want to end your reading of this piece here and go directly to Hulu to view the episode. Everyone else, continue after the jump.
Predictably, there are broad stroke trappings of Jewishness that the Griffins embrace and lampoon – Peter’s Star of David plus chest hair, plus his insistence that people call him by his Hebrew name (“chcchchchchch”); Lois puts on a Passover seder; Stewie chants a brachah (blessing) over holiday candles; and Ben Stein plays a monotonous rabbi. Plus, the characters make their regular quota of Star Wars and Indiana Jones jokes. But there are deeper moments

Their friend Max notes that “becoming Jewish doesn’t happen overnight. It’s a process that involves spiritual education and good works.” This is of course lost on the intellectually stunted Peter, who exasperated, echoes generations of kids forced to go to Hebrew school: “Leave it to a Jew to take all the fun out of being a Jew.” Later, Peter, newly convinced that his family needs to remain Catholic, explains that “we believe in the Easter Bunny – he died for our sins in that helicopter crash,” which comments on the chasm between a holiday’s actual meaning and the commercialized, materialistic versions that pervades people’s cultural and religious literacy.

At the end of the day (or in this case, the episode), Jesus saves, explaining to Peter that Judaism and Catholicism are “two sides of the same coin.” When Brian tries to include Islam is also in that same spiritual family, as part, Jesus cuts him off: “Let’s not muddy things up here.” By the episode’s end, Peter is confused. Which religion should he be? he asks Jesus. Well, at least that moment I won’t spoil.

Rio De Janeiro Olympics 2016 Vote

COPENHAGEN — Like sweet, sultry samba music, Rio hit all the right notes. Chicago had Barack Obama. Tokyo had $4 billion in the bank. Madrid had powerful friends. But none of that mattered. Rio de Janeiro had the enchanting story – of about 400 million sports-mad people on a giant untapped and vibrant continent yearning, hoping, that the Olympics finally might come to them. And the International Olympic Committee was hooked.
Olympians, we’ll see you on Copacabana beach in 2016. Let Carnival begin.

On a chilly Danish evening of high drama, the IOC on Friday sent the games of the 31st Olympiad to Brazil’s bustling, fun-loving but crime-ridden city of beaches and mountains, romance and slums.

The IOC closed its eyes to the risks – the huge projected costs of the Rio Games, the concerns about how athletes will get around and where people will sleep – to focus on the reward of lighting the Olympic cauldron in one of the last corners of the globe yet to be bathed by its light.

“It is Brazil’s time,” said the country’s charismatic president, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.

Chicago was knocked out in the first round – in one of the most shocking defeats ever handed down by the committee of former Olympians, sports administrators, royals and other VIPs.

While blues legend Buddy Guy twanged “Sweet Home Chicago” in a promotional video the city played to the IOC, bad blood between the committee and its U.S. branch – they’ve had flare-ups over revenue sharing and lucrative broadcasting rights – proved to be a note of discord. IOC members said the slap to Chicago was more directed at the U.S. Olympic Committee than to the Windy City itself.

The win was decisive: Rio beat Madrid by 66 votes to 32.

Chicago got just 18 votes in the first round, with Tokyo squeezing into the second round with 22. Madrid was leading after the first round with 28 votes, while Rio had 26.

In the second round, Tokyo was eliminated with just 20 votes. Madrid got 29, qualifying it for the final round face-off with Rio, which by then already had a strong lead with 46 votes.

The indignity suffered by Chicago – long considered a front-runner – was such that some IOC members squirmed. Obama flew overnight from Washington to sell his adoptive hometown and its plans for Olympic competition on Lake Michigan’s windy shores to the IOC. First lady Michelle Obama, with talk show host Oprah Winfrey and sports stars in tow, jetted in first and spent two days buttering up IOC members, an essential part of the secretive and unpredictable selection process.

IOC members seemed wowed, posing for photos with her and taking souvenir shots of the president with their cell phones. But, in the vote, Chicago was shunned.

Obama called Silva to congratulate him, but the nature of the loss still rang as a stinging anti-American rebuke. Close to half of the IOC’s 106 members are Europeans.

“To have the president of the United States and his wife personally appear, then this should happen in the first round is awful and totally undeserving,” senior Australian IOC member Kevan Gosper said.

French IOC member Guy Drut said “an excess of security” for the Obamas unsettled some of his colleagues. He complained that he’d been barred from crossing the lobby of his hotel for security reasons, and he grumbled that “nothing has been done” to resolve the financial disputes between the IOC and the USOC.

Of Obama’s performance, Drut said: “He didn’t do too much. Michelle Obama was exceptional.”

“This morning the city was closed because of Barack Obama,” he added.

In Chicago, there was bewildered silence when IOC president Jacques Rogge announced: “The city of Chicago, having obtained the least number of votes, will not participate in the next round.”

On Rio’s Copacabana beach, where nearly 50,000 people roared when the winning city was announced, the party headed into the night.

Rio spoke to IOC members’ consciences: the city argued that it was simply unfair that South America has never hosted the games, while Europe, Asia and North America have done so repeatedly.

“It is a time to address this imbalance,” Silva told the IOC before it delivered its verdict. “It is time to light the Olympic cauldron in a tropical country.”

Madrid’s surprising success in reaching the final round came after former IOC president Juan Antonio Samaranch made a morbid appeal for the Spanish capital, reminding IOC members as he asked for their vote that, at age 89, “I am very near the end of my time.”

Samaranch ran the IOC for 21 years before Rogge took over in 2001.

Beating three rich, more developed nations that had all previously held the games represented a giant, morale-boosting coup for Brazil. The emerging nation is bounding up the ranks of the world’s biggest economies but still has millions of people living in poverty.

Like a football team before a big final, Rio’s bid leaders and Silva held hands in silent prayer before walking out to deliver a flawless and impassioned presentation. A bid official said Silva’s last words of encouragement were “let’s stay calm, and stick with our plan.”

Brazil’s central bank governor reeled off impressive statistics about an economy predicted to be the world’s fifth-largest by 2016. The state governor pledged that taxes would not be raised for the games and played down safety concerns. Computer-generated bird’s-eye images of how venues will spread across the city, with sailing in the shadow of Sugar Loaf mountain and volleyball on Copacabana, provided the wow factor.

Then Silva delivered the knockout.

“Among the top 10 economies of the world, Brazil is the only country that has not hosted the Olympic and Paralympic Games,” he said. “For the Olympic movement, it will be an opportunity to feel the warmth of our people, the exuberance of our culture, the sun of our joy and it will also be a chance to send a powerful message to the whole world: The Olympic Games belong to all peoples, to all continents and to all humanity.”

Silva, a bearded former union leader, disappeared into a huge group hug with the joyous Rio team after Rogge announced that the city had won. Football great Pele had tears in his eyes. Brazil will now hold the world’s two biggest sporting events in the space of just two years: in 2014, it is hosting the World Cup.

“There was absolutely no flaw in the bid,” Rogge said.

Now, Africa and Antarctica are the only continents never to have been awarded an Olympics.

“We have sent out a message that we want to go global,” IOC member Gerhard Heiberg said.

Obama held out the enticing prospect of a Chicago games helping to reconnect the United States with the world after the presidency of George W. Bush. He told the IOC that the “full force of the White House” would be applied so “visitors from all around the world feel welcome and will come away with a sense of the incredible diversity of the American people.”

An uncomfortable moment came during Chicago’s presentation when an IOC member from Pakistan, Syed Shahid Ali, noted that going through U.S. customs can be harrowing for foreigners. Obama responded that he wanted a Chicago games to offer “a reminder that America at its best is open to the world.”

But the IOC’s last two experiences in the United States were bad: the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics were sullied by a bribery scandal and logistical problems and a bombing hit the 1996 Games in Atlanta.

Former IOC member Kai Holm said the brevity of Obama’s appearance – he was in and out in five hours – may have hurt Chicago.

“Too businesslike,” Holm said. “It can be that some IOC members see it as a lack of respect.”

IOC members said Asian voters may have banded together, at Chicago’s expense, in the first round in favor of Tokyo, which offered reassurances of financial security, with $4 billion already banked for the games.

“The whole thing doesn’t make sense other than there has been a stupid bloc vote,” Gosper said. The last U.S. city to bid for the Summer Games, New York, did scarcely better. It was ousted in the second round in the 2005 vote that gave the 2012 Games to London.

Meg Griffin

Megan “Meg” Griffin is a fictional character from the animated television series Family Guy. She is the oldest child of Lois and Peter Griffin at 17 years old, sister of Chris and Stewie. Meg attends James Woods High School as a senior, where she unsuccessfully struggles for acceptance and popularity.
Personality

Meg is a disturbed and self-conscious teenage girl. Her self-consciousness causes her to desperately try to be part of the cool crowd, but this only results in her getting coldly rebuffed by Connie D’Amico, a selfish, egocentric and irresponsible teenage girl. She is also usually at the bottom of the family’s pecking order and the butt of Peter’s jokes due to her homeliness, tendency toward social awkwardness and lack of popularity. However, another student named Neil Goldman is attracted to her. She has been so self-conscious about herself that she engaged in dangerous sexual behavior just for attention.

Voice actors

On the season 1 DVD commentary for the Drawn Together episode “Hot Tub”, Cree Summer claims she was offered the role to play Meg but was dismissed by the producers due to being of the wrong ethnicity for the character. Meg was voiced by an uncredited Lacey Chabert for the first season, and by Mila Kunis in subsequent seasons, though some of Chabert’s work became second-season episodes due to production order. Tara Strong provided her singing voice in “Don’t Make Me Over” and Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story.

* Rachael MacFarlane (pilot)
* Lacey Chabert (1999–2000)
* Mila Kunis (2000–present)
* Tara Strong (singing voice)

Appearance

Meg typically wears a beanie-like hat and glasses. She also commonly wears a pink and white shirt, blue jeans and white faux Birkenstock clogs. She is slightly shorter than her younger brother Chris. Meg is self-conscious about her appearance (“I’m so fat and gross.”) She possesses a belly bulge, which is only noticeable when she is seen in profile. Although portrayed as an ordinary looking girl, most people apparently consider her extremely unattractive in; with the exceptions of Glenn Quagmire, Neil Goldman, Mayor Adam West, Kevin Swanson, and the on-off characters: Ron, Jeff the nudist, and Michael, a medical intern. Her supposedly plain appearance and weight problems are often used for frequent comedy ploys for example in Don’t Make Me Over a few people light themselves on fire after just looking at her. Another running gag involves characters mistaking Meg for a boy.
