Keith Olbermann gets animated with ‘Family Guy’ creator Seth MacFarlane

MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann invited “Family Guy” creator Seth MacFarlane onto “Countdown” on Friday to recap the showdown between Fox News conservative Bill O’Reilly and Comedy Central faux-conservative Stephen Colbert.
O’Reilly and Colbert had appeared on each other’s shows, leaving MacFarlane and Olbermann  a frequent O’Reilly critic and target  quite content with Colbert’s quips.
MacFarlane’s connection to the O’Reilly-Colbert event was a stretch at best; he said O’Reilly once turned down an invitation to parody himself on “Family Guy.” Olbermann, a former Hastings resident, at first justified MacFarlane’s appearance by saying that the showdown was funny, giving “Countdown” an “excellent excuse” to have on the guy who voices Peter, Brian and Stewie. But later in the interview, we found out that Keith is a big fan of “Family Guy,” and that he would be appearing on an April 15 episode of the show as an oil tycoon.
Apparently, appearing on each other’s shows is the “in” thing to do this spring. Here’s hoping that, for just one day, Steve Carell leads an episode of “Extras” while Ricky Gervais takes over the American “Office.” Comedy platinum.
