Love Fred. One of the greatest to be on SNL

my mom *loved* The Californians! omg Clem is the best!!!

Fred's was hilarious on SNL. Love Fred. All three of you dudes are hilarious!

Fred is a quiet genius. Documentary Now is pure gold, he’s a great musician, and his comedy range is endless. Dana is a legend and David sounds like he needs to gargle salt water.

If you are a Fred addict and haven't seen Portlandia,go for a deep dive! He is a true genius! Thanks for this channel!

I was hoping they would do an episode with Fred. Love it!

Thank you for reading my question!!!! I love this podcast. I would love to see Dana & David in a movie together.

They were talking about Ram and I was instantly thinking “I’m definitely going to play Arrow Through Me” when this is done - and then they brought it up! Such a nerdy moment on my behalf of feeling a special connection with these three great guys and one of my favorite songs. ❤

I love Fred so much. I could listen to him talk drums so day, but also hearing the guys talk about navigating the post-SNL years is fascinating. I can so perfectly picture young David Spade riding a wheelie on his BMX, with a huge badass grin on his face. A 9 year old baller. That bit about Bill Hader's voice is so true. When he said "SPICY!” as Stefan, my little voice teacher brain exploded.

It’s awesome of Fred Armisen to have Dana on his show.

Fred’s amazing! Just ask him anything about art.

I love the love for Arrow Through Me!

*Eastside Low Bottoms sh*t !* _Tappin' in from South Central LA_ I think Fred is one of my favorites on the show. Ferrecito, Nick Fehn on Update - a bit I always revisit from time to time. One of Fred's funniest 'breaking" sketches was he and Bill Hader playing doormen w/Jamie Foxx and Fred telling the kid the story of Christmas - Fred wiping away tears but trying to stay in character. Freakin' hilarious !!

LOVE all 3 of these guys! 💘👍

I love the Californians. I didn’t grow up in CA but have live there for 37 years and that sing song pattern of talking is real. I was in Beverly Hills having lunch one day at this little deli and this young man and woman came in and sat next to me and I heard them talking and it was so hard not to laugh cuz everything they said and how they talked was like an episode of the Californians. I hope they weren’t offended. But it was just like a comic sketch.

fred is such a brilliant guy. my fave snl sketch of his is the doorman with bill hader with jamie foxx. they knew it was doomed from the start, but kept going. the moment he started laughing, it had me in tears. i mustve rewatched that one like 100 times by now.

There's few moments in TV where I wonder who is going to be playing Uncle Fester in Wednesday - one of my favourite characters that remind me of my family (R.I.P. Uncle Leonard). I know google exists but sometimes you just trust the brains putting a show together to deliver. Then Fred shows up and I couldn't have been more pleased. Also he nails the character. Bravo!

I’m so happy I found (was postentially led to through the algorithm) your guys’s podcast. The detail of the behind the scenes is very addicting. I never even watched snl besides some of the popular skits (like the Californians).

Fred played at least one show with Devo.. saw some of the songs here on YT and, he killed it.. amazing band that always has exceptional drummers

That coat skit was so funny! Cecily's hood was so great!

My all time favorite Fred Armisen moment comes around 16 minutes into the Donald Fagen interview on the third story podcast.

Fred . So funny . The Californians . And everything else . I saw a lot of cool bands but like 89 I think , I took this girl to the violent femmes and the drummer was unbelievable , he was set up like the high school band and he was kinda chubby and on his feet the whole set . When I wasn’t even in school yet I had a little Disney record player . Like the fisher price one . Target had 45’s . They were like a buck . My first two 45’s I bought was oh Mickey You’re so Fine , and Abracadabra Steve Miller LOL

Spade and Carvey staked their careers on being funny. Armisen could always just say - “hey, I’m a musician playing at being funny.” great out to keep the pressure at bay

Fred as Liberace with Bill Hader’s Vincent Price was hilarious

This was the best!

Loved Fred and the Back to the Egg reference! Arrow Through Me is a great example of Paul's versatility. You guys are fucking hilarious!

I really enjoy this fun podcast! Liked all the the drum talk, even though I'm not a drummer. David and Dana have such good chemistry. Fred is an interesting and unique soul!

I’d seen SNL , when I was a kid horror movies came on sat nights so if I was home , but as a teen the music guests drew me , and in middle school every Monday morning you could hear the churchladies throughout the halls of my school . One week the sugarcubes were the guest and that episode was so epic , I taped it . I don’t remember what the churchlady said but the penis song . That whole sketch was amazing . I was hooked . It was so much fun . That was the time I was watching from Dana , thru david , and into Fred , most weeks not every every week but most weeks . Thank you . Also massive head wound Harry .

His prince always made me laugh

Concerning the later part of the Pcast when Fred mentions McCartneys Ram album as his all time fav. Great album. They state he hardly plays any songs from Ram live. Ram has Too Many People, Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey, and Monkberry Moon Delight, which were in heavy live rotation for most of Wings. If you love Ram as well, check out deluxe Ed bonus track Hey Diddle, if you haven’t heard it gold awaits. How it didn’t make the cut is probably strictly time on vinyl limitations. Ⓜ️

John Bonham's Secrets: 1. He was born with Perfect Pitch (nobody else has picked up on this). This means he knew how to tune his drums perfectly so they resonated with each other in a perfectly intonated chord. 2. His drums were the biggest kit he could find -- I don't mean MORE DRUMS, I mean each drum was bigger than what most people played. 3. Jimmy Page... people didn't record drums the way he did. He used more mics and placed them all over the room to get a fuller sound. 4. He sometimes recorded in a "Crow's Nest" perched above the band. 5. He hit really hard without trying due to having been a carpenter, so it looks like he's not hitting that hard.

My favorite SNL sketch with Fred was Brutus The Talking Ape. His acting was brilliant.

. _RAM ON !!_ Used to think I was the only one who liked Paul's *Ram* album more than his acknowledged masterpiece, _Band On The Run_ (1:07:57) !! Never realized what an INCREDIBLY cool guy Fred Armisen is......THANK YOU Dana and David !! .

Long Hair in Three is my favorite album

I just LOVE the whole generous and appreciative vibe from David, Dana and every and any guest thats been on this podcast. Its like DANG, why cant people who aren't funny be this effin nice??? I mean, its gotta suck to not be funny so, i guess I can understand the shit vibe 🤔 Anyway, i love comedians and i love the energy on this podcast. You guys kick ass and David I think youre hot, cause YOU'RE FUNNYYY!!!

WOW ! I You guys sound like you’re shell shocked , PTSD . I love this podcast , you guys are awesome for doing this stuff . Addicted . Love you . David ! Give yourself a break man you are one of the all stars . HOF first ballot . BuhBye

Loved art student song on Seth Myers. Brilliant, the lyrics are so true. Does Me. Hader really play the bass? I took drum lessons on a kit. Planning on getting back to it. Been going to Chicago’s shows since 1984. My brother n law, Pat Samson was the drummer for U.S. Maple. They had a great run in the ‘90’s. I’ve known those guys since we were punk kids. They went on to have representation by Drag City. Toured Europe. Had a big following in Germany. Todd Ritman had the privilege playing with Rhys Chapman when he played at the Empty Bottle. That lot are funny as fuck. Real eccentric and jokers. I love them

Ringo, Keith Moon, Pat Samson- his touch in the cymbals reminds me of Keith Moon. Quest Love.

Great interview Was Spade in this interview at all

His rock comedy jam tour was funny as faaaaak! Thanks you's two s bookoo

I wish they filmed their podcast.

Dam it. Was gonna go take my nap but I guess I gotta listen to this instead.

So interesting and funny

It was great to hear Dana and Fred talk about their favorite drummers, but for a minute I thought they weren't going to mention Keith Moon!

Put you head on my shoulder. Brian Wilson has the voice of an angel.

I had the bionic man action figure. That was a good one. But I loved my Planet of the Apes playset and the robot from Lost in Space.

What a sweet man

I cannot believe Phil Hartman wrote for “Peewee’s Big Adventure”. And just now I see that it was Tim Burton’s directorial debut! 🤯. I absolutely loved that movie when I was growing up.

I had a bird named Fred. Great name.

Fred💖

I grew up with the Smother Bros at the Purple Onion, , the band who did Hang Down your head Tom Duly…the Tirana Brass….

I was born 2 years earlier than Fred, and I, too, loved the planet of the apes at a young teen

Fred is the funniest man alive that doesn't have a public sense of humor

Spade is so awesome at off-the-cuff phrases: "No wonder you got fed! Six birds in the nest?"

someone should write a sketch about SNL read-through meetings

I had to stop the tape and laugh for a while about Dana's little, "Fred Armisen, get out of town".!! I also liked David's, low, guttural "not a helmet in sight"!!

Finally ❤👍

I zoned out on the drum talk

I want to know who wrote his one man show monologue. It was one of my favorite Fred Armisen performances.

Fred was hilarious and his characters on SNL lol. His Lawrence Welk and the talk show sex host 😂😂😂😂

Portlandia is just amazing, and he's a good half of why lol

You can always get married late spudley look at Tony Randall😂

There's something about someone making a comedian I respect really laugh.

my favorite toy was a revolver that had bullets to load in the chambers with caps in each cartridge. the bike was a Raleigh 3speed English Racer. the movie was THEM. giant ants that were caused by radioactivity. my favorite record was Rumble by LinkWray.

🖤🖤🖤

We should start a go-fund-me to get these guys a camera.

David is a veritable Snark-o-Matic. And it's a snark that refreshes. Well...for me anyway, because sometimes snark IS appropriate.

He actually speaks some Italian in those clips with Hader

Ai! Dios MIO

Who remembers Major Matt Mason astronaut or Whirlybird helicopter toy?

"lingo alert" 😂

Fred was funny in every sketch. Dana as Lyle, the effeminate heterosexual was my all time favorite.

Wow Fred & Dane Get a room already..!

Kingston trio

You gotta get yourself some Mahble Columns

Fred is a goddamn genius. Billy Smith is one of my favorite comics

for me bill hader and fred where the best male cast members ever.....

"what do you think goes on in bills skull" 💀

Fred is fab! Future SNL guest requests: Leslie Jones, Jay Mohr, Jay Pharaoh, Chris Kattan …

1:01:49

Arrow through me

Dana kept talking about drums at the last half...

We get it Dana you did church lady jeez

Camera went dark??? Why no video then?

Ride the pocket guy

I was a laser in school. Chasing being the best. And I got a payed off. But I found I work best in a pressure cooker situation. After school, it was up to me and I wAs unmotivated. I need the back and forth, on my own I’m useless. How do you economize your energy level?

My favorite era was the '80s and early 90s with Dana carvey and really stopped watching Saturday night live a little bit after Adam Sandler era. I enjoy clips from every era of course to include Will Ferrell. But I wish I would have watched full seasons of the era with Fred Armisen and Bill hader and the other army of comedians that were in that cast. It's easy to say everything sucks after your favorite cast era ends, and certainly some episodes and seasons are lame but there's always something funny going on every season.

if they interview zach galifianakis, they should dress up like ferns and he can sit between them

FRED🤣😂

Yazz flute.

That episode of documentary now! where Fred plays a pretentious abstract artist opposite Cate Blanchet was so funny 🤣. I know close to nothing about those types of artists but I still got every joke. He was such a douchebag 😂

Dana often sounds like Dennis Miller so I keep wondering why I'm listening to this.

Will forte

I remember at the end of Conquest Of The Planet Of The Apes we were all for the apes because they were being mistreated. Then suddenly I remembered The Planet Of The Apes and realized I had just sold out my race.

watch gwar - phallus in wonderland

I thought the guitar was ‘80’s retro. Ripping funny with a good beat. Oh No, it’s Devo. & I try & I try I try try try try try

People throw around 'comedy genius' and it's often misdirected. Mike Myers or Jimmy Fallon were very strong students of comedy, wanted it and made it. Carvey has a funny high-energy revelation power, Spade has a quick wit and finds tangy snark nuggets like no other and Twitter is everyone who tried to copy him. ALL these things are excellent but the odd so often there is a kind of comedy genius but really probably 'autistic' is a better word. Andy Kauffman had it and Fred Armisen has it. Its a peculiar wildcard IQ streak and it shouldn't be thrown around so much. Sometimes I think Bill Hader is a 'daywalker'. He is a 'Mike Myers' comedy fan, student, he does the work to find and make the funny but he may have a 'streak' of that genius. Fred Armisen is, really, most properly a Comedy Genius.
