Is it possible that this might backfire in the same way that some consider Jimmy Kimmel's recent Emmy's gig did? That is, various forces, or his own judgment, may have MacFarlane taking it down a couple of notches and reducing the chance of something different happening during the event?
Though now that I type that, with MacFarlane's singing chops, taking it down a couple of notches may just look like a Martin Short job of hosting. I might actually tune in next year. Sure, that might be using the DVR and rushing through the commercials and other filler. But I'm curious enough to take a look.

His performing skills blend perfectly with our ideas for making the show entertaining and fresh. He will be the consummate host, and we are so happy to be working with him." > >-- BOB -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
