FRED ARMISEN: SNL Reflections, Becoming Uncle Fester & Hilarious Prince Stories

Fred Armisen (Saturday Night Live, Portlandia, Wednesday) joins us this week for a wide ranging and surprisingly personal conversation about horror movies, drumming, Prince, and the unlikely turn that brought him to comedy. Fred opens up about the moment in his early thirties when his band fell apart and he had no idea what was next, the SNL audition call he still saves in his phone as Best Call Ever, and what it really felt like to step into Uncle Fester for Tim Burton on Wednesday. We also get into his Beatles fandom, learning to love acting later in life, and why introvert Fred still cannot resist a great horror movie or a good Ringo party.
