Fred Armisen Shows Off His Hidden Talent (Peeking Around Corners) and Musical Impressions (Extended)

[@devirachman5442]

Fred Armisen is a pretty underrated talent. This guy is awesome, he can do anything. He's a comedian, actor, a writer, a director, producer, he can play guitar, drum, he can mimic different accents, etc. He's a very talented and well rounded artist.

[@hihowareyouthen]

His musical numbers on SNL always killed and were so diverse - Blue Jeans Committee, the hardcore band at a wedding (with Dave Grohl), the Bossa Nova (with Alec Baldwin). I could go on...All gold, and so different!

[@wildechild5]

Why do you say he's underrated? Why do people always say that when he is totally not underrated.

[@ilovepie314]

I rate Fred Armisen so high in my heart. Jimmy too.

[@grimblues]

He can also peak around corners!

[@Eric_In_SF]

@@wildechild5 It’s usually idiots like this they call people underrated because all their friends aren’t talking about them this week.

[@jillv4006]

I could totally go for a whole evening of Fred and Jimmy both playing guitar, harmonizing and improvising silly stuff!

[@marah3298]

Me too.

[@lesliehughes1030]

I completely agree!

[@LorenzoDoesntExist]

So basically Fred Armisen's show that already exists but with Jimmy adding nothing to it.

[@lesliehughes1030]

@@LorenzoDoesntExist what show does Fred have that's like this?

[@itmeurdad]

Me too but with Jimmy completely silent

[@TheLexxMarie]

I love seeing SNL alum interacting with each other because they just totally fall into a groove of "yes, and", and it's so fun to watch ❤

[@ximmychan]

BOR-RING!!!

[@whiskersb5296]

Ok, improv nerd.

[@yommish]

what the heck do you guys think you’re watching…

[@Pete_Finch]

The D-chord bit made me laugh pretty hard, because yes I do always have to do that

[@joe123456789953]

Dude this made me laugh pretty hard 🤣

[@neutron5000]

could you please explain the joke with the D-chord

[@foljs5858]

@@neutron5000 just something many guitar players do, that's not essential in playing the d-chord. They basically alter the chord (which is easy to do, just change one finger) to a sus chord. It's funny (not as in a joke, but as in "funny observation") because you don't have to do that, you can just play a D chord. But because it's so easy, many automatically will go for that "trick"

[@endreszatmari2302]

Yes, it just feels wrong NOT to do it, I just can't resist...

[@Tokai134]

I learned it from "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" and never went back to normal D chord

[@mraaronhd]

I love the ska part at the end. Jimmy getting up and skanking with the Roots (it is the the Roots still, right?) joining in and adding a full band. Absolutely beautiful.

[@silentgnome]

I think he was refering to venezuelan ska band DESORDEN PUBLICO. You should check their music!

[@mohar1513]

Love, love, love this! Fred is extremely UNDERrated and skilled in music as well as comedy! What a pleasure!

[@lesliehughes1030]

I absolutely love when Fred comes on and does these! They're so on point. I crack up!

[@lawrencecollins7398]

I love Fred Armisen's observational comedy about stuff I've never actually observed.

[@sharonmchugh7730]

Fred is a comedic genius, I adore him

[@rikkiechambers4959]

Seriously could watch them for way longer what fun!! What a talent Fred has!

[@jjthek]

Fred Armisen is another one of my favorite people. I love snl cast (former and current) people! 💙

[@jordanashford7521]

Fred Armisen is so incredible. The chemistry between him and Jimmy is the best.

[@mariusv.8965]

Being Norwegian. That song wasn’t far from the real deal! Very well done! Lyric goes: "Fløy en liten blåfugl, gjennom vindu gjennom vindu, gjennom vindu Fløy en liten blåfugl, gjennom vindu - en dag i mai"

[@CallengeXcepted]

Fred is such a humble and honest funny guy that makes you laugh with just an expression

[@rdklarnet55]

I love how Jimmy Fallon is a talk show host who interviews people, and he comes up with this great bit: "I'll ask my guest different questions...." revolutionary!

[@nbarnes6225]

Even more revolutionary than the Colbert Questionnaire!

[@dianapevtsov]

I'd expect nothing less from the restless, groundbreaking creative pioneer who uses television to play Pictionary, sing pre-existing theme songs as Neil Young, and giggle through movie scene re-enactments. No one brings more to the table that was already at the table before he brought it.

[@rdklarnet55]

@Clay Chiarelott I am here because i thought i might find something funny and lol ...that's why i go on youtube....ever ;)

[@rdklarnet55]

@Clay Chiarelott I don't know how you got that idea...based on your comments...you seem to be a very negative person.

[@rdklarnet55]

@Clay Chiarelott the reason i watch any clip of comedy, is... i think i might laugh...I don't understand you...why are you trolling me...I just think it's funny...simple...it's funny...I don't care about Jimmy...He was hilarious when i was ten...sometimes he's still funny...I'm open minded, and i give people a chance to be funny...I hope Jimmy has a lovely day, and i really don't care...I love the premise of his show..a talk show...the bit i think is funny because it has the same premise as the show itself....please reply...I love wasting my time talking to trolls...it makes me laugh...You miss, I hope are laughing too...it's what it's all about. peace sister.

[@Washougalite1]

The peek was hilarious and the guitar was impressive

[@TubaTones]

Questlove didn’t seem to think so!

[@latentsea]

Questlove Thinking keep this donkey away from my drums

[@tmseh]

Fred always tries his best. Am I right? He's an effective corner peeker. Mad skills.

[@abraxas1]

Fred rocks in everything. He could lean on the lyrics in that bit more. His insight is true comedy.

[@maryblakefletcher3595]

Got to see Fred’s show tonight in Oxford, it was very similar! Afterwards he allowed my dad and I to meet him before he got on the bus and he was just so kind. What an all-around great guy 😊

[@zackd519]

Hey I was at that show too! Awesome that you got to meet him.

[@blazeesq2000]

That line about the D chord. OMG. So true.

[@MrStrobey]

I never did that thing with the D chord ……until now. I’m screwed

[@jacobstuddard6940]

The way he’s able to switch from his pick to finger picking without loosing his pick is very impressive.

[@yarenirmis8277]

Tbh when Fred sings I wanna listen and I wish there was more of it but he always makes you laugh in the middle of it somehow😂 Amazing man

[@Biotoze]

Fred Armisen is such an amazingly talented person.

[@RyanPennington87]

Fred has been in character for 25 years

[@Fsuholley]

Now this is funny.

[@thomascovenant665]

Fred's delivery of "Aye, Dios mio" is on par with peeking around a corner.. He's just funny..

[@Camila-im9ws]

I cant get enough of him. he's amazing. and i love how jimmy laughs like he's in pain.

[@beautywinsfails8867]

Oh my goodness! Guitar playing styles around the world! That was so awesome!!! 🙌

[@theronious]

Definitely more Fred please. So great! Thank you Jimmy and The Roots!!!

[@MikePhoenix007]

Fred has the most unique sense of humour. Love the guy!

[@plaguetree6920]

Fred has such a unique comedy genius! Under rated IMOl.

[@bafflezbiz]

Cheeeeeee!

[@MauiMauiMe]

He forgot to do slack key!

[@jrojala]

Fred is a legend. Fred is godlike with his comedic timing. Only an appearance of a talent like Fred could make me watch and engage with the ever-breaking Jimmy Fallon…

[@kevinsmith5318]

Fred is brilliant! Love him to bits!

[@itmeurdad]

I'd 100 percent buy all the tickets to a Fred clone band show

[@natnisa2yeahya626]

He already have it on Netflix

[@itmeurdad]

@Mot Goaiu exactly.

[@meuaria5357]

The Blue Jean committee

[@EvelynRobinson22]

As an Australian, that was spot on for Aussie rockers 🤣

[@heynicolettox]

I'm from Argentina and what he said about South America is so true of today's rock music it's sick!

[@haraldjensen3513]

The norwegian guitar style is so accurate... And i'm not ashamed.

[@torgnyaanderaa2334]

HAHAHA! LOVE the fact that his "Norwegian" song REALLY is a Norwegian children's song :D

[@G2mxrZ]

Fred is a legend! Mooooooooooore Fred please! TY.

[@Rifan3773]

I think no one could pull off those kind of jokes better than fred

[@nacholens3228]

Fred is just naturally funny !! The synergy between the two of them is awesome

The Roots playing SKA and Jimmy skanking at the end just made my week! Pick it up!

[@angelaschlaud4795]

Love Fred doing that musical comedy!!❤️

[@polsap9985]

I related so hard with that d-chord thing 😀

[@ChrisCypher]

As soon as I saw "corner peak" I remembered him doing it in broad city...and he did it just the same here. Undefeated corner peaker!

[@TheKittyGirl]

Just a true gem

[@CClearly0]

Fred’s the bomb 🎉🎉❤❤❤

[@amazingsupergirl7125]

I thought the peek would be cringy but he’s right. A lot of talent there! ❤️🤟🏻

[@NinaBina_87]

5:36 As an Australian, I can confirm this is bloody spot on 😆

[@jonadams2783]

Very midnight oil

[@KidAstronaut]

“Alright - he’s just gonna go around a corner” 🤣🤣🤣

[@PiazzaGurl]

😂🤣😂🤣 giving back the guitar. Straight SNL but 👏👏👏👏. I like how Fred literally makes you think on music styles from around the world. He’s actually very on point.

[@elwoodalbert4677]

Jimmy is so happy love it! Fred is a treasure

[@heatherstewart4524]

Love Fred!❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@buddymack]

Fred is probably one of the most under-rated sketch comedians. He's a savant! Extremely talented in all aspects of the Performance Arts.

[@craig.tanner]

Fred is a national treasure

[@Slownlazy]

That ska jam at the end was SICK

[@brycewalburn3926]

You could fill a book with things that make perfect sense to Fred Armisen and almost no sense to everyone else.

[@AngelaSealana]

Fred with an instrument is another level of fun.

[@robinoneill2150]

I loved his comedy set with him playing drums. He's really talented.

[@edgardoadriano4267]

Fred is right spot on with ska in Chile, just check out Los Miserables or La Floripondio, but I think even more in argentina with even more fusioned styles like Los Cadillacs, Los Pericos or even 2 minutos. What a talent!

[@GrandAbbot]

Great selections

[@adrianmarceloaguilerarodri2755]

Fred is gold anywhere he goes

[@alrightthen]

Holy shit the beat the roots laid down at the end was insane!

[@CLD170]

Only Fred could pull off that peeking bit. He's one of my favorite entertainers. I would love to see Portlandia come back.

[@Liv-or5ci]

I can’t remember the last time I laughed so hard on KZbin as I did watching Fred peak around the corner

[@jmyren100]

I love this! Plus everything with Fallon!

[@katelanxner278]

I remember when he and Carrie peeked around a corner on Portlandia! Waiting for breakfast, wanting to check out the table early; they loved breakfast so much.

[@apoorvaubhare8457]

One of the most enjoyable episodes!

[@DerekHoscorner]

Jimmy Fallon fred armisen show hidden talents awesomeness job interview

[@tmotom]

That was some good skanking, I have new respect for Jimmy Fallon

Norwegian was spot on. I know because I am a Norwegian guitar.

His Norwegian song is an actual song as well, with the actual lyrics. Genius.

[@karinlb416]

His comedy for musicians tour is so good! Just saw in boston

[@JessicaGuerra8]

As an Aussie, his impression of us is always gold

Damn, the "norwegian song" is actually a norwegian song. In norwegian. Fred Armisen is a real one.

[@musicwithoutanyboundaries]

Dude is a Rockstar in his own right!

[@lukehutchens4778]

He is not wrong about any of that!! Nothing like an IN TUNE acoustic ✌️

[@brianboru8858]

This is awesome. Who knew Mlepnos was so talented!

[@valentinekamei]

The way Jimmy ended the interview without verbally telling Fred to stop and started dancing , shows how good he is in his job

[@jovannapersson-aviles1249]

Loved this!
