"I think they got me all wrong on there," Lochte told Extra at the ALMA Awards. "The whole skit that was from when I first started doing interviews like 6 or 7 years ago. I didn't know what to really say doing interviews but now I'm more relaxed."

"Family Guy" creator MacFarlane played Lochte on "SNL's" "Weekend Update" reviewing various TV shows depicting Lochte as a meathead.

"Hey Seth, do you wanna know a secret?" asked MacFarlane as Lochte. "If you hold your ear up to my ear, you can hear the ocean."

But Lochte hopes to have the last laugh telling Extra, "Hopefully, I'll get the chance to go on 'SNL' and redeem myself."

The worse thing you can do is to try and defend yourself on how you're portrayed on SNL. Just laugh and let it go.

I guess Ryan doesn't understand that the whole point of parody is to take a couple of traits and then magnify them to a ridiculous level.
