Marlee Matlin has given the brains behind irreverent cartoon series Family Guy the OK to make fun of her hearing disability because it’s humorous. The deaf star has been the brunt of cruel gags on the comedy series and now she’s come forward insisting she has no problems with writer/creator Seth MacFarlane ’s politically incorrect barbs - and she urges others to find humour in the jokes. Matlin even appeared on MacFarlane’s recent TV variety show, “Seth & Alex’s Almost Live Comedy Show,” to prove she has no problems with the TV mogul’s off-color humor.

Deaf Actress Marlee Matlin,Marlee Matlin :Family Guy Presents Seth & Alex’s Almost Live Comedy Show was a pleasantly odd little half-hour sandwiched between episodes of Seth MacFarlane’s Family Guy . Working with Alex Borstein , who voices Lois Griffin, MacFarlane performed in a nightclub set that included an orchestra and an audience. MacFarlane has a good singing voice and is remarkably dexterous in the way he can switch in and out of character voices such as Peter and Stewie Griffin. This had the effect of softening some of his trademark outrageousness. He sang a bit of “Edelweiss” from The Sound of Music, and while ... Read Full Story
