Watch: Oscar host Seth MacFarlane skewer James Bond in new promo
"Family Guy" creator Seth MacFarlane is hosting the upcoming Oscars, and he took some time out of his busy schedule to gently rib James Bond in a new promo (above).
When Bond vet Pierce Brosnan orders his usual poison -- "vodka martini. Shaken, not stirred" -- a sassy bartender (MacFarlane) mocks him for the unnecessary qualification. "Is this your first martini?," he asks.
Watch it on the left.
In related news, the stars of MacFarlane's comedy hit "Ted" -- Mark Wahlberg and, um, Ted -- are confirmed to be among the presenters at the Academy Awards.
In a press release announcing the news, "Ted" himself said, "I’m excited to present an Oscar with Mark Wahlberg. I’m spending the next month learning to pronounce ‘Quvenzhané.’"
To complete MacFarlane's domination of the Academy Awards, Norah Jones has been recruited to croon "Ted's" Oscar-nominated song “Everybody Needs a Best Friend.”
The Oscars will air February 24 on ABC.
