My name is Will Forte and I will answer ANYTHING you ask me. Part 2.

What can we do to make a MacGruber 2 happen?

I don't know! Jorma, John and I have been crazy busy, but we're absolutely gonna write the shit out of that thing as soon as we have time. And we will start to have time in a few weeks. Thanks for your patience. Already have a great outline in the works.

Hi Will, I'm a huge fan. Could you name your favorite SNL sketch that you are not in?

Thanks.

Hi! Cowbell is one of my favorites. Chris Farley's Chippendales dancer. Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer. Debbie Downer.

Will, no one remembers you in my favorite SNL sketch with Jon Hamm where you're a registered sex offender trick or treating. My favorite sketch. Great job. Who wrote that sketch?

potato link for the lazy

Thanks to /u/potatopop for sourcing

I love that one too -- one of my favorites. Colin Jost wrote that one. He is an amazing writer and I'm happy that he's at the update desk now

If I ran out of celery, what do I use in replacement?

Your finger

What was your favourite line as Paul on 30 Rock? :)

It's not a line, but I loved singing the song "O Holy Night" with Jenna dressed as the two black swans. So many amazing lines. That writing staff was amazing.

Hello Will! Thanks for the AMA. My wife and I loved 'Nebraska' -- being from the Canadian Prairies, we found that the movie captured the look, feel and pace of life we grew up with. What was your favorite experience when filming on location in the Midwest?

Thanks! Everything about that experience was special. A totally new environment, a bunch of strangers that very quickly became family, a chance to do something I never in a million years thought I'd get a chance to do. Dream come true in every sense of the word. I will always cherish that experience!

Are you going to do more "fortin' with will" episodes? NOT ON MY BELT

One of my favorite things I've ever gotten to do. I love that one so much. Would love to do another one. I will do anything Tim and Eric ever ask me to do

Why is The Falconer my favorite recurring character in SNL?

Because you are a crazy person like me! It takes a special person to appreciate that one. One of my biggest regrets is a falconer that we didn't get to do during the rainn wilson show. It was a meta version of the falconer in which Donald goes backstage and sees that his whole existence is that of a puppet in an SNL sketch. Maybe one day it'll see the light of day!

What's your favourite colour?

Don't have a favorite colour. But my favorite color is green. (burn)

Now I feel bad. You didn't deserve that. My favorite colour is green too

Hello Will. The Brother's Solomon is literally in my top 10 favorite movies of all time. "Don't think about past defeats" is one of my favorite lines ever. Do you have a favorite line or piece of writing from your writing work? What makes it special to you?

That's so nice of you to say! Don't make me pick between all of my dick jokes! I get too attached to dialogue -- it gets really tough when we go to edit stuff. It doesn't mean the line is necessarily good, but I just get attached. I'm a weird dude. Thanks for your support!

Fartface?

You mean the widely acknowledged best sketch ever written? I still stand behind every fart and every face in that piece of polished gold

If you were stuck with only one other person as the last people on Earth, who would you most want it to be and why is that person Jeff Goldblum?

Goldblum just has that indescribable thing. And of course, there's the obvious repopulation angle

What was your last stool consistency?

I would say it was a 4 or 5 with 1 being concrete and 10 being Coke Zero

Hey Will! Big fan of yours, you never cease to crack me up. I have two questions for you: 1) Do you have any new projects coming soon? 2) What is your favorite thing about koala bears?

I've been working my balls off on Last Man on Earth so I haven't had time to do anything else really. But gonna go do a part in Sandler's movie Ridiculous 6 on Tuesday and then starting writing MacG2! And thanks for the kind words -- hope you like the show! (I love it but I'm biased)

Do you like or love, Orange Tic Tacs?

LOVE! It is the very first thing I ever stole from a drug store. I was a kid and my stealing phase was short. But my start was with tic-tacs, ORANGE tic tacs

Will,

How long did it take you to grow that glorious mane and beard? Also I'm looking forward to Last Man.. Thanks!

Thanks! Excited for you to see it! Took about six months to get the full heft and you didn't even see the worst of it. We trimmed it a little bit before we shot the show. thanks for your support!

What SNL sketch do you wish you had written?

Everything Will Ferrell ever wrote -- that guy is the best of the best. And a true gentleman as well

Hello Will! I have to say that MacGruber is one of the greatest comedic gems I have ever stumbled across and has become an all-time classic in my mind. How much fun was it to film that movie? I look forward to checking out your upcoming show “The Last Man on Earth”! Thanks for doing this AMA!

Thanks very much! We're gonna start trying to write MacG2. It was such a blast to make that movie with all of our friends and would love to have a chance to get the gang back together. It's looking more and more like we're gonna get that chance! And thanks for your support! Spread the word -- it's a good show!

Is there pressure at SNL to leave the show after having been on it for a while or is it entirely the cast members choice?

There's no pressure. You usually know when it's time to leave. I guess it's a case by case basis. Sorry, this was not my best answer!

Favorite cereal?

It doesn't exist -- I want a breakfast burrito cereal

Hey Will! How are ya? Wanted to say you are one of my favorite comedians of all time. Jenjamin Franklin, which was so funny, proves how weird you're willing to let it go and that's awesome to me. When's the next time you'll do a Comedy Bang Bang podcast apperance?

You know what? I feel awful, you're just reminding me that Aukerman emailed me about it a while back and I never wrote him back! I've been working so hard that my emailing and texting has gone to shit. Thanks for the reminder. I love Scott -- such a funny guy -- and can't wait to do the show again.

Hi, Will! What's your favorite place that you've traveled to? Also, what's your favorite movie and/or book, and what's your favorite snack? Thanks!

In America, New Orleans. Outside of America, Positano, Italy. Favorite movies: The Jerk, Jaws, Godfather, Sound of Music, Graduate. Do not read books and do not want others to either. Snack -- breakfast burrito

Hi Will!

Were you or others concerned about physical effects from going full Zell Miller on SNL? We used to worry you were about to burst something.

My mom and the wonderful SNL nurse Teresa were scared I was gonna have an aneurysm -- holy shit, I spelled that right! -- so I took aspirin before just in case. Yeah, it was pretty scary!

You wake up to find a genie is hovering over you. He informs you that you really have become the last man on earth, but he will bring back three historical figure for you to have company. Who are the people you decide to come back?

Terence Trent D'arby, Dabney Coleman, Eleanor Roosevelt

Did you ever think about using another vegetable to stick in your butt instead of celery?

I will never cheat on my celery. I am a one vegetable man

I don't really have a question for you but when I was in High School, there was a kid in my grade who was related to you in some way and got you to come and talk to my movie production class. I just wanted to thank you for being so inspiring on that day, and thank you for making me laugh countless times when watching SNL.

Since the mods require me to have a question, who was your favorite cast member you worked with during your time at SNL? Thanks!

That was my cousin's kid Kyle Stivers? Glad you liked the talk. I meant everything I said. Just work your butt off and good things will happen. Favorite cast member? Pretty much everyone -- we're like a family so it's hard to pick a favorite. I feel a special bond with Kristen and Jason but love and respect all others too.

Mr. Forte, first, thank you for doing this AMA. I've really enjoyed your work so far, and I'm super excited for The Last Man on Earth. My question: Who, in your opinion, is the most brilliant person you've worked with so far?

So many people. Bruce Dern, Kristen Wiig, Jorma Taccone, John Solomon, Will Ferrell, Patti Forte -- I'm sure I'm forgetting a million but these were the people that jumped out

And thanks for asking!

I'm looking forward to the new show, but I have to ask... How on Earth can a show about the last man on Earth last more than a few episodes? Seems like you are starting out writing yourself into a corner.

Watch and see. I wrote myself into the most open territory that's ever existed. So excited about this show. Hope you like it!

So is the Boner Ghost real? Has he ever visited you...or does he just visit those that live with you?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wb0zkoTTwMg

I've never seen him but have come in contact with so many friends who have seen him. I have come sooooooo close to seeing him. So many times, I'll leave a room and he'll show up immediately after. One day, I'll see him and maybe I can lift that sheet and see if the curtains match the drapes and there is the same color sheet surrounding his ghost dick

Hello! I'm extremely excited for the show tomorrow night, but I wanted to ask about Tim and Eric's Bedtime Stories. Season 1 had a severe lack of Will Forte. Is there any possibility of you being on it if they do a Season 2 (or beyond)? I really can't think of anything I want to see more, but with the potential success of this new show, I'm terrified that the opportunity will never arise (not to suggest that you should sacrifice deserved success to make my dreams come true by screaming in horror for 11 minutes on a new Tim and Eric show...)

Also, have you ever been asked to be on Marc Maron's podcast? I'll rank that one as #2 most wanted.

I got to do Marc's podcast. It was a great experience and he gave me this awesome coffee mug as I left. Can't wait to go back and do it again. It was like the best therapy session you could ask for.

As for Tim and Eric, I can't wait to work with them again. Some of my favorite things I've done in my career are things I've done with them. Fortin' with Will is probably my all time favorite. And I hope to jam my way into Bedtime Stories.

Do you like rice?

Rice the food or Rice University?

If rice the food, brown or white?

Yes yes and yes

How is your day today?

It's good. I've been working my nuts off for so long and am finally in a place where I can decompress a little so it's really nice. And I really like doing the AMA. Thanks for being a part of my nice day!

I watched the fartface sketch for the first time yesterday just to see if it was the bomb that some people say it is Honestly i found it really funny and crazy. You and Bill were do great and really committed. Did you think at the time that it was bombing or are you too in it to register how it's going down?

Oh, for sure people were not enjoying it. But I love that sketch. Loved hearing Bill tell the story on Letterman. It really was scary going out there. Like we were going into battle. But I watched it the other day and I gotta say, I think it's really funny. maybe that's why I've never really been in anything that anyone's ever seen. By the way, I think it was New York Magazine that came out with a list of the top ten SNL sketches of that year and somehow Fartface was on their list.

Who should be the next host of the Daily Show?

Golfer Jon Daly

Do you belong to any fraternal organization? (e.g. Greek, Mason, Rosicrucian, etc...)

I was in a fraternity at UCLA. Had such a fun time and am still very close to the guys in the frat. Lambda Chi Alpha

What is the most difficult part of your job?

It just takes up so much time. And I'm a control freak so it's hard to give up any responsibilities. But it's worth all the work because the show turned out just how we wanted it to. Hope you check it out!

What character have you enjoyed playing the most in your career?

Loved being MacGruber in the movie. Loved getting the chance to be David in the movie Nebraska. Love doing Hamilton. Oh, and love doing Twinkle and Stink with Suds. And Jon Bovi with Suds. By the way, this never came out in the sketches, but it's worth noting that the names of our characters in Jon Bovi were Girth Evans and Dick Thickness.

What do you get if you insert human DNA into a goat?

Sounds like a baaaaaaaaaad idea to me. Boom? I still got it? No?

100 duck-sized horses, or one horse-sized duck?

Easy. 100 duck sized horses. Way more super tight horse vaginas.

What's your SSN? ;)

It's a number the government gives you to identify you

Hey Will! Your new show looks great - can't wait to watch it. I have to ask, is it difficult being the only character on a sitcom?

It's been pretty tricky but with Chris Miller and Phil Lord, you feel like you're in really good hands. They're my partners in this and they're the guys who did the Lego movie and 21 and 22 Jump Street

What kind of trouser hawg you packin, fella?

It's a trouser piglet to be sure

In your opinion, what was the best band or live music act that played SNL while you were on the show? Why?

So many choices. My favorite experience there was probably seeing U2 when they played three songs during the show and then stuck around and played many songs after the show was over. My first year there, I think I remember Lorne was trying to get Led Zeppelin to come play the final show of the season. That would have made my head explode

Was The Falconer your character and will we ever see him again?

Yes it was. Wrote that with two awesome guys Leo Allen and Eric Slovin -- initial idea was Slovin's. Have no idea if I will ever get a chance to do it again but I really hope so! I love the last one we did with the time machine. Good one to go out on!

Hi Will,

What has been your oddest fan encounter?

Naked guy in the shower asking if I was the guy from SNL and making a point of pointing his penis in my direction as he asked. He really jutted it out there

Was A Good Old Fashioned Orgy as fun to make as it is to watch? What was the funniest thing that happened on set that you can remember?

That was such a great experience. We made it down in Wilmington NC and had such a blast. The whole cast really bonded and we left with an experience none of us will ever forget. Can't remember the funniest thing that happened. I remember the wonderful ice cream place - Kilwin's -- and just sitting around shooting the shit with a bunch of great funny people. I wish all people got to have such a fun job
