Seth MacFarlane is a guy who likes to break taboos in public, and last night’s Family Guy Presents Seth & Alex’s Almost Live Comedy Show was no exception. (Apparently this came as a surprise to Microsoft, which withdrew its sponsorship of the live-action special after viewing the taping.) One of the line-crossiest moments came when
Academy Award-winning actress Marlee Matlin, who some of you may know from the movie “Children of a Lesser God” and for roles in TV series such as “The L Word,” has decided to tell all in her new book “I’ll Scream Later.” The book tells us a bit about her relationship with 59-year old Hollywood actor [...]
I am a big fan of ER, Desperate Housewives, Blues Clues, Wizard of Oz and CSI: NY and even on the 40th Birthday of Sesame Streets , and used to watch MARLEE MATLIN in those movies and TV series yet only just recently that I have known she is Deaf after reading blog articles that she was one of the panels on the Federal Communications Commissions last Friday.

No doubt will many of you remember the hilarious Alex Borstein, who played Drella, the harp player at the Independence Inn and later on, re-merged as “Miss Celine” on a season 5 episode of Gilmore Girls.

You might find this in bad taste, and perhaps it is, but it won't stop you from laughing. During their special, Seth & Alex's Almost Live Comedy Show, Seth MacFarlane and Family Guy co-star Alex Borstein felt like poking fun at a rather easy target - Marlee Matlin. The HIGHlight of the evening was Alex's impression of [...]
Filed under: Other Comedy Shows , Video , Watercooler Talk , Celebrities , Reality-Free Last night FOX aired Seth & Alex's Almost Live Comedy Show , and they're getting a little heat about it today. They re-enacted a scene from a Family Guy episode that made fun of deaf actress Marlee Matlin. Then they took it a step further and had Alex Borstein imitate Matlin singing a pop song.

Rob, it's not just deaf/hh kids but adults as well. Many are late-deafened adults who finally after many years get a free hearing aid and hear the precious gift of sound once again. Many were so grateful and had tears of joy when they were given the opportunity. Yet, some Deaf people would rather attack the mission than to applaud what they are trying to do. Marlee Matlin sees this very clearly bu...
