However you felt about the performance of Seth MacFarlane as Oscar host, he certainly got everyone talking.

So will he be back for a second go-round?

The comedian鈥檚 answer was definite.

鈥淣o way,鈥 MacFarlane tweeted in response to a fan who asked if he'd consider it. 鈥淟otta fun to have done it, though.鈥

MacFarlane received mixed to negative reviews for his turn as host, with many offended by jokes that were perceived as racist, sexist or homophobic. There were a few that landed, but many felt his routine was dominated by objectionable humor.

He presided on a night where the film 鈥淎rgo,鈥 which focused on a little-known aspect of the 1979 Iranian hostage crisis and was directed by Ben Affleck, won Best Picture. Actor Daniel Day-Lewis made history when he took home his third Best Actor statuette for the movie 鈥淟incoln,鈥 while first-time winners Anne Hathaway and Jennifer Lawrence won the Best Supporting Actress for 鈥淟es Miserables鈥 and Best Actress prize for 鈥淪ilver Linings Playbook,鈥 respectively. Actor Christoph Waltz won his second Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for the movie 鈥淒jango Unchained.鈥

MacFarlane came to the Oscar hosting gig as his animated sitcom 鈥淔amily Guy鈥 aired its eleventh season. Another of his shows, 鈥淎merican Dad,鈥 is in its eighth season and the 鈥淔amily Guy鈥 spin-off 鈥淭he Cleveland Show鈥 is in its fourth. MacFarlane鈥檚 film 鈥淭ed,鈥 which he wrote, directed, and starred in as the voice of a foulmouthed teddy bear, was a hit this summer, grossing more than $218 million in the US, according to Box Office Mojo. The film starred Mark Wahlberg and Mila Kunis, and Wahlberg and the teddy bear Ted appeared at the Oscars ceremony as presenters.

A sequel to 鈥淭ed鈥 has been rumored, and MacFarlane told Collider that nothing is certain yet but many on the original team are interested.

鈥淚t has not been officially signed off on yet,鈥 MacFarlane said. 鈥淏ut it's very promising.鈥
