Carrie BrownsteinGUEST
And, uh, so I did that for a long time.
Carrie BrownsteinGUEST
Fred Armisen, also a musician-
Jake JohnsonHOST
Right
Carrie BrownsteinGUEST
... came up in punk bands as a drummer before, you know, joining SNL, and he was a fan of Sleater Kinney.
Beck BennettHOST
Kristen Wiig, like Bill-
Kyle MooneyHOST
Samichias, Armisen.
Beck BennettHOST
Armisen.
Kyle MooneyHOST
Yeah.
Beck BennettHOST
Yeah.
Beck BennettHOST
And never an idea.
Beck BennettHOST
But-
Casey WilsonGUEST
I liked the table reads 'cause I love joking around with everyone and, like, being around, and I always sat next to Fred Armisen, and it, it was-
DJ FuseHOST
And you're like, oh man, a phone call would have been nice, you know? Yeah.
Drew PierceHOST
There's a great SNL skit with Fred Armisen and I think Dave Grohl, I guess on it, but they're a wedding band and they're old school punkers.
Drew PierceHOST
And so they do like this, this like crazy hardcore, like eighties punk.
Drew PierceHOST
And they just start mopping in the, it's so good.
John SchneiderHOST
This is the season 29, episode 18, where Lindsay Lohan hosted for the first time.
John SchneiderHOST
And we got to see Jimmy Fallon, Amy Poehler, Fred Armisen, and Horatio Sand sit around the table with her and Rachel Dratch as Debbie Downer, who constantly brought down the mood.
John SchneiderHOST
And we saw the sound effects and the lines and the laughing.
John SchneiderHOST
And it was something that was talked about like no other sketch in a long time back in 2004.
Bill KenneyPANELIST
I don't think this is something we talk about if the breaking doesn't happen, but it did, so we're here and we're talking about this.
Bill KenneyPANELIST
And I got to give it to your boy Fallon because as much as he's known for breaking, as much, as many sketches as he ruined, he's trying here.
Bill KenneyPANELIST
Like you can see it, especially when they pan in to that moment that you mentioned where, "It's, it's official I can't have kids." He's trying to hold it together, and he's not quite getting it, but who could other than Fred Armisen? So, uh, I love that part of it.
Bill KenneyPANELIST
I love the fact that, you know, this is one of those characters.
DanHOST
Bloody hell.
DanHOST
Number 10 was from 2015 called Documentary Now! Did you guys see any of that? Fred Armisen, Bill Hader, Seth Meyers? No, I haven't seen
WhiteyHOST
it.
DanHOST
Neither.
Nicole LaurenneGUEST
We're very lucky, yes, yes.
Nicole LaurenneGUEST
Fred Armisen, who I love, is, I guess you could call him a fan of the darts.
Nicole LaurenneGUEST
Our very first famous fan was Stephen King, the author who, uh, when our very first EP came out, well, I guess it's a double edged sword on this.
Nicole LaurenneGUEST
Uh, the other famous person put it on the radio was Drew Carey, um, who played it on the underground garage on his show.
Chelsea FreiGUEST
Yeah.
Chelsea FreiGUEST
Yeah, I interned late night with Seth Meyers in the music department when Fred Armisen was in charge of the band.
Chelsea FreiGUEST
And he was, first of all, the best person to work for ever.
Chelsea FreiGUEST
Almost annoying because he wouldn't let me ever get him coffee or anything.
DianaHOST
Who cares? Get over it.
JackHOST
What is it? I was just thinking of the Joy Behar, Fred Armisen impression.
JackHOST
Who cares? Who cares? Who cares? But I was thinking, like, we didn't have the computer room thing.
JackHOST
It was me and my sister sharing a computer.
DianaHOST
Who cares? Get over it.
JackHOST
What is it? Uh, I was just thinking of the Joy Behar Fred Armisen impression.
DianaHOST
Who cares?
JackHOST
Who cares?
Casey WillisHOST
We do see a tiger, though, later in Vice when we go to the South American country.
Christian DanleyHOST
Yeah, we were just watching that episode or an episode of Parks and Rec that had Fred Armisen as a general from a communist country.
Christian DanleyHOST
And it really made me wonder if when you guys were casting that, but this is not the episode to talk about it.
Christian DanleyHOST
It's a very similar character.
