In The Orville episode “If the Stars Should Appear,” the crew tries to stop an old gigantic spaceship from colliding with a star. But that’s not all! While some of the crew tries to help the inhabitants of the vessel, others stay behind to help another Union ship from a Krill attack. One of those who stays behind is the slimy creature Yaphit, who is voiced by former SNL star Norm MacDonald. Yaphit has the hots for the Orville’s physician Dr. Claire Finn (Penny Johnston Jerald).
MacDonald says Seth MacFarlane, the creator and star of The Orville is “resurrecting TV” and claims he would love the show “even if I wasn’t in it.” MacDonald totally crushes in the role, bringing the slimy horny blob to life. The Orville airs Thursdays at 9pm on FOX, right after Gotham.

Thanks to the genius, @SethMacFarlane for @TheOrville, a show I would love even if I wasn’t in it.
