SNL’s Will Forte: ‘SNL50,’ ‘The Four Seasons,’ and ‘Haunted Hotel’

Will Forte is one of the only comedians to ever turn down an initial offer from Lorne Michaels to join ‘Saturday Night Live.’ But after three years in the cast, he found himself at a crossroads on the show. In his return to the podcast, Forte discusses the second lease on life that Michaels gave him after coming closer than anyone knew to cutting him loose. The star of two Netflix series this year—‘Haunted Hotel’ and ‘The Four Seasons’—also talks about his love of animation and playing the husband of his former ‘SNL’ boss Tina Fey. And Forte shares updates on the unlikely fate of his canceled and then resurrected ‘Coyote vs. Acme’ movie, reveals the potential for a ‘MacGruber’ sequel, and shares behind-the-scenes stories from his wild night at the ‘SNL50’ anniversary special.
