Everything You Need to Know About Comedic-Genius Fred Armisen | Ep 11

[@bartsimpsonsimpson3367]

I used to work at Disney HQ cafeteria in Burbank, and Fred came in one time. He was so excited to be at Disney, and he was so lovely and inquisitive about my job, and my experiences. Made me feel nice. 10/10 celeb encounter.

[@radricdavis8508]

He would always wear that dang Mickey Mouse costume whe he went on the rides lol. We had so much fun didn’t we? Loved seeing you!

[@bekahcoursey1768]

I love how sweet, positive and sincere Fred always sounds.

[@amitabhsharma3916]

Fred is the Tom Hanks of SNL

I was really hoping for this comment

upvote for a real one!

You don't want to listen to them talk about skin care for a 10 min or so?

[@dntgvafuk89]

They talk for 48 minutes before they bring Fred on even? Wtf why

[@blaineisthecoolest]

The real hero

[@jgundz]

The opening of this episode was exactly what I needed!! Benton’s advice to read all messages as happy and kind was the best thing I’ve heard in a while! Thank you for everything you put into this!!

[@jdaughty1090]

LOVE LOVE LOVE YOUR PODCAST!! ITS SOMETHING WE'VE NEEDED!! I REALLY LOVE HOW YOU HAVE GUEST THAT NO ONE ELSE ON PODS REALLY DO, AND ITS ACTUALLY A BIT EDUCATIONAL! - FRED IS MY FAVORITE!!! THANK YOU

[@caroline2978]

My dad tells me all the time, "If you want high self esteem, do estimable things". Great advice!

[@jm68541]

The intros are my favorite! love whitney & benton together

[@empowermph]

subjective..i wish benton didnt speak at all, his voice is repulsive, it's all an act, just talk like a normal human being..even girls don't do that weird lisp, what are they doing

[@empowermph]

2 of my favorites..high IQ, legit, sincere humor..Fred's prince impersonation..Portlandia..legendary. can't believe he pulled Natasha, big crush on her since 'American Pie'..it's so impressive, inspiring.

[@lnc-to4ku]

Fred Armison seems like the most relaxed, enjoyable person to be around! I'm obsessed with him! ♡

[@Maui8828]

Can you do a podcast with bo burnham

[@jimmygoff5022]

Please god

[@carlospreciso9118]

Many pearls of wisdom in this episode: don’t take permanent decisions, based on temporary feelings

[@sweetpotatogreens7491]

I like how Michael Rapaport permanently shook up Whitney’s views on headphones

[@vjadis101]

I listen to the podcast and enjoy it every time, then I found them on KZbin and I’m even more hooked,plus it helps when you know what they look like, keep being awesome , I’m binge watching now lol

omg can we have natasha lyonne now??????? ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Love your banter with Benton. .. annnnnnd super excited for this interview with Fred :) Thanks Whitney!

How disappointed are you after? She could not talking about herself.

i LOVE this episode, its like a compliment competition

[@brandonkimball]

Definitely in my top ten episodes

[@nathanyoung8284]

I met Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein at a filming of Portlandia at Reed College here in Portland. Fred seemed so soft and nice and I wish I could have gotten to talk to him more, but alas, he was filming. He wore a hospital gown, if anybody knows what episode of Portlandia it was that he was filmed in!

[@Midgearooni]

I am Sooooo grateful you do the show on KZbin. I've heard of so many podcasts that I wanted to get into but I have a hard time catching everything being said. Being able to have the captions on and see your faces has really helped. Thank you!! 😍😍😍

[@LittleMark]

I wish Fred got to say more.

[@michaelssali9353]

It's her show

[@73brook]

if he wanted to say more he would have. she didn't duct tape his mouth shut.

[@empowermph]

what a dork thing to say

[@coldsilence2]

wow, you really are little, Mark.

[@weC2far]

This popped up on autoplay while I was napping. I seriously laughed out loud a few times! When Fred mentioned the comedy mosh pit I SPIT my water! And for some reason when Whitney mentioned the people clapping instead of laughing, I DIED😂🤣

[@lynnlazenby-faulkner3033]

I listen in my car and people must think I'm crazy because I am laughing so hard on my own. Being isolated at home due to Covid-19, I am so happy to be able to watch you.

[@lnc-to4ku]

Omg, loved the nod at the very end to Fred Armisen and Kristien Wig's "Garth and Kat" skit on Saturday Night Live! 😆😂

[@AngelasAnythingShow]

i love watching it on youtube -- you guys put in great images to explain what you're talking about. loving the pod!!! killin it!

[@AtypicalPaul]

This was a wonderful episode. It made me appreciate Fred even more

[@LisaLee__]

How? You don't hear anything about him.

[@mattarseneault]

Fred Armisen is a wonderful human being. That is all.

[@flovita]

"it blew my mind that anyone would work differently than me" that's the most Virgo thing Whitney has ever said lol, love her.

[@Vega2099x]

Whitney is on a pretty chill wavelength when talking with Fred

[@charz8764]

Benton is cracking me the foiiiiick up

For the love of all things good, stop interrupting people and cutting them off!!! There were so many times I was listening to what Fred had to say and you cut him off before he can even get his own thought out, its maddening! I was really excited for this one too. It's like you always have to beat people to the punch as to what they are going to say...just let them say it!!!

[@psygarg]

I wish Fred had spoken a little more.. He's a great guest, I think he was a little underused here!

[@shroomshady27]

I see "Fred Armisen", I immediately click on the video because I love Fred, I love Whitney, and then I ended up listening to Whitney and what's his face talk for forty-eight minutes and twenty seconds. If you clicked on this video to watch and/or listen to Whitney and Fred do a podcast together, skip to 48:22 -

[@christinan9989]

When those “fall in love” questions refer to “partner” I think they mean the person you are asking/answering the questions with. So it would mean: what would Fred need you to know if you were going to become close friends?

[@Jumpy2423]

Whitney and benton, that's all I need.

[@debris8844]

"I'm going to make the most noise while hiding." I will never look at drummers the same way again. 🤣

One of the favorite dreams I've ever had was one where Fred Armisen and Kristen Wiig were hanging out with me in my living room and we were just buddies talking, laughing... Ahh good times.

She should just make the segments with Benton a separate podcast

[@TGJoeyT]

Have you tried skipping ahead?

[@RandalSimone]

Most podcasts have solo episodes, and episodes with guests. The stuff with Benton would be great if we weren’t expecting to see a specific guest and then not seeing them until 30+ minutes in, skipping around in the interview to see when the guest actually comes on. That’s all
