Some people might say MacGruber is Will Forte’s finest work, others will say it is The Last Man on Earth, while I will say it is The Brothers Solomon. When it comes to Will Forte, he told James Corden on The Late Late Show that it is a part he won at an auction for A Call to Men. What is that role? He is playing Handcuffed Guest at a Wedding on Lethal Weapon. How did he do? He better get another Emmy nomination for it, if not the win!
Until that episode airs, we will just have to watch him on The Last Man on Earth tonight and every Sunday at 9:30p on Fox. If you are not watching, then you are missing a show that has the best death scenes on TV. What more do I have to tell you to watch?
When we last left off with The Last Man on Earth, we caught a quick glimpse of Fred Armisen as he made his debut on the brilliant, touching and funny sitcom. Tonight at 9:30p on Fox, we get to learn a lot more about his character Karl in a standalone episode.
Karl is a guy who lives on his own. The type of guy who goes out on dates with a Leighton Meester type, but goes home all by himself.
Then one day he makes a mistake and he flees to Mexico to start a new life. On the way there, he meets our special guest star of the night and they share an unforgettable moment. When he settles in Mexico, he begins his new life. Just when he decides to change his ways, the virus happens. Now everyone around him is dead and he is living all by himself.
That is until Tandy (Will Forte) and Tood (Mel Rodriguez) find him. What happens next, we will have to wait until next week to find out.
What I am not telling you, is why I will never be able to look at Armisen the same way. Why? You will just have to tune in to find out. Not only for that but all because LMOE is a witty comedy with so much heart, it will leave you starting the work week off with a huge smile on your face. As long as you don’t hone in on the fact that it is post-apocalyptic show about a virus that wiped out almost everyone on Earth and the few survivors are trying to repopulate the world. Survivors who get to live out some of their fantasies because who is going to stop them? See a fell good way to end your Sunday nights.
Before there was Saturday Night Live, there was National Lampoon. Several of the people who worked with the National Lampoon, went on to SNL. A Futile and Stupid Gesture is the story of the people behind the magazine that changed comedy forever with their magazine and their films.
Will Forte leads the wacky group of people who made the ’70s even funnier. Plus, who doesn’t want to see how Joel McHale plays his former co-star Chevy Chase. That has to be an Oscar worthy performance if I ever heard one.
Therefore mark your calendars for January 26th because that is when retro humor will be current again.
January Jones was on Jimmy Kimmel Live yesterday to promote The Last Man on Earth and the ABC late host asked her if it is fun to film the show. She told him yes because “It’s just [Will] Forte like walking around farting.” Then she revealed her nickname for him, “Will Farte.” If that was not bad enough, Kimmel said he has heard a lot people talking about her boss’ flatulence. After he told a story about the actor, Jones said she heard worse and told us to use our imaginations. I am afraid to on this one. How do you think he cut the cheese?
Would Farte be embarrassed by her sharing this information? She says, “He’ll be so pleased.” Is it wrong I want to have a personal farting story about him? Don’t answer that, it is.
What I do not think is wrong, is how much I love The Last Man on Earth. I really hope you share my love for it every Sunday night on Fox at 9:30p. Heck, you might even here him fart and farts always funny when they are done by someone else.

Last week, when The Last Man on Earth ended its episode, we saw Carol (Kristen Schaal), Melissa (January Jones), Todd (Mel Rodriguez), Gail (Mary Steenburgen), Jasper (Keith L. Williams), Erica (Cleopatra Coleman) and her newborn, aimlessly sailing away on the dingy that Pamela (Kristen Wiig) pushed them away in after she knocked out Tandy (Will Forte) in order to hold him hostage.
Tonight at 9:30p on Fox, they are left drifting away at sea hoping to find some land to call their home as they seek refuge from the nuclear dust cloud that is coming their way. Once they finally find an island, they discover they are not alone. There is another man (a mystery guest star who you will know who he is as soon as you see him), that has been there since before the virus happened. Meaning he has no idea it happened. How do you tell him that everyone but them is dead?
But back to Tandy, will he be able to get away from his kidnapper? Does he want to get away with her? Is the last episode we will see the two of them? Are the islanders getting their own show? How long will that Christopher Cross duet of Sailing go on for? You will just have to tune in to find out on the best comedy that not enough people are watching! Therefore, TUNE IN!
