    Fred Armisen... One of the most under recognized geniuses in media today.

      @@ryanf2029 Agree he's pretty well recognized, but still astonishes me how many people I've met who have never watched Portlandia. They've heard of it, seen a clip or two, but that's it. Show was by FAR the best satirical treatment of the present day than anything else on TV. By contrast, SNL is STILL satirizing "local ads," a cultural form that was practically extinct back in the 1990s.
