“Eric? Will,” he said, shaking his hand, as if the guy didn’t already know his name.
When a fan approached, Forte took a selfie with him, asked him about his hometown (Austin), talked about how great the music scene was there, and made sure to get his name. When I met him, he paid his own parking meter, then turned around and handed the rest of his change to the guy in line behind him. His MacGruber director, the Lonely Island’s Jorma Taccone, takes it further: “He’s the most polite slash generous, almost to a fault, human I’ve ever met.” Taccone tells me Forte took all of his per diem for MacGruber and gave it to the crew as a thank you when they wrapped. Will Forte is the most polite man in Hollywood, according to everyone I interviewed and probably a lot of people I didn’t. More stray observations and stories emerged than could fit in the printed piece, so in honor of Last Man’s finale last night, please enjoy the many things one learns about Will Forte from spending time with him (and talking to a bunch of people he knows), including just how nice he is, what happened when he stuck his hand in Andy Samberg’s urine flow, and what it was like having Val Kilmer as a roommate.ġ.
It was as impressive as Forte’s Walken impression was awful.Did Will Forte create The Last Man on Earth, in which he plays humanity’s worst living representative, because he is in fact the best dude on the planet? Talking to his friends and spending a couple of hours eating breakfast burritos and strolling around Venice Beach with him for a New York Magazine feature certainly gave this reporter that impression. However, on the third attempt, Meyers held so ridiculously strong that he was practically bent backwards over the seat of the booth without making a single reaction. Maybe it was the four shots he just downed, but Meyers couldn’t hold it together while Forte did his awful Walken voice.Īfter some more bantering, Meyers also revealed that Forte was a beast at never breaking character on SNL, which led to a no holds barred challenge where Forte tried to get Meyers to break, which he did almost immediately, twice in a row. It’s not exactly clear what he’s trying to do because it sounds nothing like the actor’s iconic speaking voice, but it did leave Seth Meyers dying of laughter.
To prove Meyers’ point, Forte busted out his Walken impression on the spot around the 6:15 mark of the clip above, and yup, it’s pretty bad. Forte just cannot pull it off, and he was even cut out of a sketch because his Walken voice is so terrible. After mixing up some pretty disgusting cocktails involving, we kid you not, Cheese Whiz and maple syrup, the two sat down at a booth for some more drinking and reminiscing about their time on SNL.Īs Meyers tells it, Forte is a talented sketch writer and performer, but there’s one comedic talent that completely slips his grasp: Doing a passable Christopher Walken impression.

To promote this week’s premiere of the new MacGruber series on Peacock, Will Forte stopped by Late Night with Seth Meyers, where the former Saturday Night Live alum’s indulged in a hilarious “Day Drinking” segment.
