      Favorite Fred Armisen scene: In "Easy A" Armisen plays evangelical pastor and father of Amanda Bynes, high school Jesus freak who condemns "Olive" played by Emma Stone for pretending to hook up with sexless classmates. When Emma seeks council at a handy random church for the trouble she's unleashed, smug Pastor Fred admits "There is a hell, right below our feet. It's a fact."

    Anybody else thinks Seth is the legitimate 'heir' of SNL after Lorne Michaels?
    Maybe him sharing the role with Kenan would be an even better idea.
    He was head writer for a long time, span a few great generations of different cast members, was on Weekend Update, and seem to be beloved and respect by the whole community that works in and around SNL.

    • @iphar
      @iphar Рік тому +1

      @@aaronsinger I think that unless Lorne is making these decisions/preparations himself, the producer route is more likely, yes, you are right. Maybe the show even dies with Lorne, who knows with excecutives these days? I think the fact that Seth has had a pretty good grasp of what is it like to have a whole show (with crew, cast, budget, personnel changes) in his hands for a few years now also bode very well for him.

    • @S.Pociecha
      @S.Pociecha Рік тому

      I reckon it's more like "beloved and respected by the SNL denizens that we see him with a lot" - which is excellent, but there are miles of SNL people who don't seem to hang out or collaborate with Seth on a regular basis, despite working in the same building. No harm, no foul of course; the man's not required to be beloved by everybody.
