Host Seth MacFarlane speaks onstage during the Oscars held at the Dolby Theatre on February 24, 2013 in Hollywood, California.

Writer Patrick Meighan was hanging out backstage at the Oscars last night. Normally he works as a writer for Seth MacFarlanes hit show "Family Guy," so when MacFarlane was chosen to host the awards show, Patrick was enlisted to help write material.

After the show and the infamous Governor's Ball, he was kind enough to wake up early to talk with us.
