Celebrity Rock: The Sadder But Wiser Girl (2011)

Some YouTube commentators have compared Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane's musical ability with that of someone like, say for example, Michael Buble, or, to go even further back, Frank Sinatra.

In 2011, MacFarlane headlined his first concert special. The only way you'd get to see this would've been if you had the Epix premium channel. MacFarlane and Family Guy co-star Alex Borstein (ex-MadTV) had done a half hour variety special for Fox in 2009 that had been raked over the coals by the same media nannies that had been critical of Family Guy, so MacFarlane must've figured, in order to gain some respect as a musician, he had to ply his wares on another network.

He's released 5 CD's of his own at last count, and was one of several guests, including Jamie Foxx and Hugh Jackman, to appear on a Barbra Streisand album in 2016.

From the 2011 special, Seth MacFarlane: Swingin' in Concert, here's "The Sadder But Wiser Girl".



Now I have to see if he's done any of the late night talk shows here. I know he's sung on Graham Norton's BBC show.
