Marlee Matlin who competed during season six of "Dancing with the Stars," last night appeared on "Family Guy Presents Seth & Alex's Almost Live Comedy Show" in a sketch that was mocking her speaking voice. Was it appropriate? Was she being mocked or being a part of the joke?

She told "Entertainment Weekly" that she was happy to be in a great restaurant scene with Jason Alexander and Jerry Seinfeld on "Seinfeld" and once told America to "Read my hips!" when she was on "Dancing with the Stars." She wanted to be on the "Seth & Alex" program to demonstrate she can dish it out and take it.

In the skit, Matlin is calling up Movieline. When she appears on the show, she also makes some politically incorrect statements directed at Alex. See the video below.

Matlin was on the sixth season of "Dancing with the Stars." She was paired with Fabian Sanchez and was the sixth person eliminated.  Kristi Yamaguchi and Mark Ballas would win that season. Matlin and Sanchez earned 24 on the quickstep (to "Mack the Knife") and the Viennese waltz (to "Do Right Woman, Do Right Man"). That would be their highest score.

Matlin lives in the Greater Los Angeles area with her family.
