Over the weekend Gossip Cop reported that Seth MacFarlane mocked Ryan Lochte on “Saturday Night Live,” and now the gold medalist is calling the “Family Guy” creator’s impression of him “harsh.”
In the bit, MacFarlane impersonated the Olympic swimmer while giving “Weekend Update” anchor Seth Myers a ridiculous preview of NBC’s new fall shows.

When Myers asked the swimmer about his “busy summer,” Lochte replied, “I was America in Olympics.”
But that was hardly the end of MacFarlane poking fun at the gold medalist.
MacFarlane’s Lochte constantly referred to the new NBC show “Animal Practice” as “Monkey Hospital,” and said he was “excited about the show ‘Goon,’” which Myers explained is actually called “Go On.”
Other gems from Lochte included him saying how “it feels so weird to be dry.”
But what did the real Ryan Lochte think of it?
“Well I gotta admit that was a pretty harsh one, but it’s cool to have Seth parody me,” he told Celebuzz, adding, “I think he pegged me wrong.”
Still, Lochte harbors no grudge.
“It’s all in fun and, of course, if I’m talked about on ‘SNL,’ I know they are gonna get me ‘Go-od,’” he said, referring to the show’s “Go On” joke.

Well that stinks… Too bad Lochte isn’t a good sport about a little skit. Honestly it was one of the funniest ones in the show with Seth MacFarlane. Whether or not a famous person gets hurt by a skit, I still love the show. I’ve set up my Hopper to record the entire season automatically to the two terabyte DVR, since I work late at DISH and can’t see them live. It’ll be nice to see the show when I want without worrying about space. I’m definitely excited about seeing Joseph Gordon-Levitt this weekend!
