Fred Armisen

It seems like the second time buyers are the ones who are up in arms.

Yeah. Oh, speaking of Fred and speaking of the party we talked about with Polar, Shoemaker's the last party, which was he came up to the 17th floor and we'd set up a bar and everybody was there and people gave speeches. And a couple of speeches, I remember, Forte and Sudeikis did as John Bovee came out and gave a speech. And they did not call him Shoemaker. They called him Lace Destroyer.

America, Sawyer, John Mulaney, and Simon Rich had just started on the show. And so their toast was about how they only knew him as the guy who made them write promos when, you know, the guests and people stay on the stage and like, hey, I'm the, I'm hosting SNL this week. And so their farewell to him is they each read a promo they had written. His favorite thing.

And then Fred, Fred did two things. One, at the time, because again, this was... This was post the 2008 election. Ratings for SNL were really high. And Fred was like, I'd like to read you some numbers. Last week, SNL did a 5-2. When Mike Shoemaker started, the show did a 4-1. This is all he ever cared about. And it was just a lot of him doing Nielsen numbers. Yeah.

And then he said that one thing he has in common with Shoemaker is they're both fans of a couple of mates from Liverpool. And then he sat at the piano and Fred does this really great bit where he plays Blackbird in the wrong course. Wrong key, I guess. And it was just a really just like it. It's so unsettling to the ears to hear.

We'll get Fred to play his version of Blackbird. It was also the first appearance of this show, which was Amy's last update, as we discussed with her. It was also the first appearance of Fred as Governor David Patterson, which is one of the funniest things that has ever been on SNL.

It did end with the actual governor showing up and doing the sketch with Fred, which I think speaks to the fact that it was all in good fun. But it is very interesting to me even now that it got away with it. And one of the reasons it gets away with it is Fred is just so charming as Governor David Patterson, who was and is legally blind.
