He wasn't attached to the outcome. He was grateful for every moment. Master of manifestation.
How I wish I was like him in this regard!
@@psychekaleidoscope7665 Yeaaah... keeping my heart light is probably the crux of the matter. I'm a natural worrier. :-D But thanks anyway.
Armisen is one, chill dude.
Thanks for the synopsis, Captain Landmark
Thought so too
I like that he wasn't nervous for his audition, his mindset was like "I got nothing to lose so why be nervous, just have fun.'
Must be nice to just choose not to be nervous
Fred is so authentically himself and a comedy genius.
Gutter Punks for life! Love Portlandia
Facts
The way he’s talking makes him sound like he’s still extremely thankful to this day
And his feet didn't even touch the ground.
I love that Fred's kind of the whole "not nervous" thing happened to Bill Hader too. Both these guys at some point in their SNL Audition were like ... yeah man I got nothing to lose so might as well -- cause snl was a different career path. Idk its kinda sweet.
Fred Armisen just seems like a really cool and like genuinely good person. He's so funny but so down-to-earth I wish he was my friend lol
Talk to the women that have been in his life and you will get a different perspective.
yes, seems to be. he has quite a reputation of being sociopathic.
@@rdecredico Source?
@@Leatherfacet Google it.
There are many credible sources.
@@Leatherfacet…. 2nd and 8th hand accounts
'best call ever' thats awesome
"Let's sit down in this Sequoia seating arrangement."
I just laughed so hard at this; just HOW he said it.
There are many very talented, deserving people out there. Good to see that some get their shot and they succeed.
Fred is one of those guys that made every sketch he was in that much better. It takes a truly special person to be able to pull that off.
I could listen to Fred Armisen all day.
he saved the number as best call ever im crying
Best call ever. How very simple and genuine
Something about this interview makes me feel so hopeful. What a beautiful person.
I was on a subway platform once and was about to pass him and my reaction for some reason was to touch his shoulder as he passed bc I was thinking “is that Fred Armisen?!”. He turned around as we passed and smiled at me. It was such a cool moment
Fred is such a sweet guy. Happy for his success
“I saved the number…I saved it as ‘best call ever’”. 🔥
Marci Klein...thank you for bringing Fred Armisen into our lives!
He has so many good characters, the amount of characters on Portland is alone is amazing, and all of the are so different
So glad they took a chance on him. His humor is so non-traditional and off-beat he might not have made it otherwise.
Fred Armisen is the Philosopher King of Comedians.
He is my number 1 favourite male cast of snl...i admire him so so much, he has so interesting personality and the talent..no words
What a gorgeous slice of Fred's memory! Love this story!
I love Fred... even his characters seem genuine.
Love that his big take away was being in the same space as George Harrison & meeting Lorne, who knew him! That was a great episode too!
These interview, and ones similar to it about how casting can work, give such perspective into how preparation, attitude and confidence can make all the difference. Thank you for posting this.
My favorite moments of SNL are Fred and Bill Hader together, cracking up about each other and breaking character and sketch.
His face in 3:44 is just pure disbelief. Like he never really expected the call. What a guy.
Such a humble and sincere man!
The very first time I saw Fred on SNL I knew he was very talented and would eventually do something great. Portlandia.
RaisedByCats Portlandia is the best!!
@@vicknikkole I know, right! Credit to both Fred and Carrie.
I still re-watch all the episodes to this day because they're so good! Happy others share my enthusiasm.
Armisen is one of the most underrated comedians of our era.
His monolgue on the episode he hosted is my favorite of all time..
It's so great. That, and the Tommy Palmese one man show sketch are all time bests.
I have no idea about how he is in a professional standing, but all I know is that I met him at a festival in California in 2019 when I had a head full of LSD and he was extremely gracious and kind. Here's hoping I make it into a stand-up bit of his.
I love Fred so much. He deserved it because he’s brilliant
He fully immerses me in every character he plays.
Changing Things same here 🙂
How can not not have a good day after hearing this?
I'm more impressed he could finish dinner with everyone and not say anything. I'd have to quickly lie and make up a reason to leave so that I could tell someone.
Thanks for posting! Fred seems like a very cool guy.
I can’t ever take ANYTHING he says seriously. He’s the best deadpan tall-tale storyteller ever.
I'm so happy! I've been waiting so long for an Off Camera episode with Fred!
Such a great story. Amazing to hear this after years of loving everything he did on snl. One of my favs
Great storytelling facilitated by a fantastic interviewer 🙂
Fred seems awesome
LOVE Fred Armisen ... his impression of swinging a bat is priceless
Fred is my favorite forever. Favorite what you ask? He’s just my favorite and that’s it.
LOVE this story. Fred is an inspiration.
Very humble and gracious.
One of those faces that just makes me laugh. He doesn't need to say or do anything.
So sweet & humble.
so grateful for him on SNL, brought me so many laughters
“It’s your problem if...” 😂👍
Love this story! Fred is a gem.
Ooh Mlep ( Clay ) nos🥰
Such a favorite on SNL and so much more!!! Portlandia fan, loved Netflix special and loved him in The Promotion.....
I absolutely love him! He's talented and caring
Gosh, I love him
Gotta love the fred.
The light shines
That was just Amazing!.Good for you and fine work.
What a fantastic story. I would love to have his attitude about life.
Fred we love you.
Love love love Fred. ☺💋
God, I love Fred.
Imagine that rush of excitement when she asked him about his possible deal with Comedy Central.
Legit made me cry
What an amazing story.
THAT is AWESOME!!
love your talks 🧡
Best. Call. Ever....so sweet ;)
Oh Sam you are a true gem, thank you so much for doing interviews like this, Im working on a documentary (very early planning stages) but I know I want to base alot of it on interviews, and watching how you interact and ease your guests into a comfort zone that enables you to connect and bring out inspiring and sincere reflections is like cerebral cheesecake for my mind.
.. best call ever
Love this!
Fred I love how you played the blind senator......
Honestly, if I could ever be interviewed on this show, that would be my moment
Fascinating. great story. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Wow what a great story!
Him and Darrell Hamond were Incredible Impressionist .
Amazing that the character around which he built his successful audition is the one that never really clicked on the show.
punk rock drummer? Awesome
Yeah he’s actually a really talented drummer
He played with Devo a year or so ago. I have to admit I'd probably love to have lived Fred's life, except I'd avoid Portland entirely, knowing what it became after that TV show made it look like the homeland for snotty adult children. Now guess what it's full of!
Check out his old band Trenchmouth from Chicago. They made a few records in the 90s. They never got huge, but were somewhat known in the DIY punk scene.
I love this
Wonderful.
How can u not like this guy?
His audition is the closest thing to an Andy Kaufman piece yet.
Fred and Tim Heidecker are my favorite human beings
His ‘Regine’ character is so wacky. Lmao 😂
In an alternative universe the Smashing Pumpkins did replace Jimmy Chamberlain with Fred and he was the drummer on Adore.
"Venezuela has the best patients, because of gun."
"Viva venezuela!"
Its hard to believe Fred. Always.
Cute story. Good for him
The man can tell a hell of a story, doomed to succeed.
Bummer the jacket messed up the audio here. Great interview.
Fred Armisen rules
pROPS tO tH3 hUMaN t0ilET!!! Fred'sdaMANN
Right.
This was in 2001 and its before texting? What kind of phone did he have?
Fred Armisen is probably the nicest human being.
Unless you are dating him.
rdecredico Why is that?
@@arsakellariadis I am not sure.
Maybe because he is a misogynist?
@@rdecredico That's a pretty serious accusation. Where do you base it? Also I was under the impression that he was gay. Maybe I'm wrong.
@@arsakellariadis I am not the one making the accusation. Use your google machine. Google his history with women.
I didn't see Flash Gordon.
Where the hell is Sam Jones?
Yeah! Right?
i guess the real one is off saving the universe wearing a lightning bolt tank-top.
@@squeegeedee
DEATH
TO MING!!!
Sometimes it works out....
there's a long list of people who did fine after being rejected or marginally doing well on snl.
Love hearing success stories...eewwww Stuart... now take the 405 to sunset. West on sunset to pch. North to Malibu
I always felt that he was a misfit on snl.
