Saturday Night Live kicked off its 38th season with a hearty helping of political humor, a touch of Ryan Lochte, a pinch of musical guest Frank Ocean and a dash of Gangnam Style. Seth MacFarlane's Opening Monologue Hosting the season premiere was Seth MacFarlane, the brains behind Family Guy, who also directed, produced and co-wrote this year's feature film Ted.

But the medley of instantly-recognizable voices from Family Guy's most popular characters, all flowing from MacFarlane's mouth, was a definite crowd-pleaser. He continued to showcase his voice-acting chops throughout his monologue - throwing in audio-impersonations of everyone from Kermit the Frog to George Takei - and in sketches throughout the episode.

He nailed Lochte's signature brand of goofy, aloof ditziness, musing about the fall television shows he's most excited about: "Monkey Hospital" (also known as "Animal Practice") and "Goon" (also known as "Go On"). We'll use Lochte's rating scale and give MacFarlane's foray into celebrity impressions "4 swims." Next: Psy Himself Brings a Bit of "Gangnam Style"
