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.
