This isn't particularly watchable, but the Marlee Matlin cover of Poker Face had me and Marlee's impression of Alex was funny as well.

"We did call you, but the phone just rang and rang."

This entire special is setup to promote Ninja Assassin and Sherlock and nothing else. Variety shows died for a reason.

This is pretty lousy, but the Poker Face cover was great. (And it only would've been better if that was a legitimate surprise bringing MM out.)

The promos showed Adam West, but he was not on it. Guess his segment got cut.

So Fox has pretty much surrendered their entire Sunday night line up to Seth McFarlane now?

In an interview earlier this week with Alex Borstein she said that all of Adam Wests material involved former sponsor Microsoft Windows.

Yeah, I was disappointed, but I think Alex Borstein was the highlight...

I didn't realize that Seth was flexible enough to suck his own dick.

Pointless show, and not funny.

Seth's Gregory Peck cracked me up, but it also sounded like James Coburn.

I know what you mean. Oprah, Judge Judy, and the Newscasters here in Denver do the same to me.

Alex Borstein is one of the most annoying people on the planet.

didn't think there was anything funny about making fun of MM and was skipping ahead when I saw her so I watched from when she comes on. wonder how much of her "fuck you" at the end was real
hopefully all of it

Doesn't matter, just seeing Marlie Matlin was a treat. She's getting hotter with age.

The rest of the show sucked donkey balls. I can see why they felt the need to put such an awful laugh-track on it. Clearly Seth MacFarlane is not as funny as he thinks he is.
