[@nannerz1994]

There's so many songs with the name Cecilia in it because she's the patron saint of music.

[@daniellamcgee4251]

Yes. 😊

[@Jenny_Oblivion]

Oh! Neat!

[@MarcKloos]

The Sea Captain is back!

[@lovetrioni]

I saw Bodkin few days ago. It was great! But the whole time I expected Will Forte to do something weird 😂. But he plays very good dramatic roles too!

[@unitoolzee]

Will Forte is so great. The SNL sketch where they perform an insane Tennessee Williams play about a stolen potato chip is never far from my mind.

[@mnchls]

CORRECTION: "Cecilia" may have been WRITTEN by Simon, but I will not abide by this blatant Art Garfunkel erasure. Sethilia, you're breaking my heart...

[@anthonydaniel9534]

A Magruber musical would be too awesome to actually exist.

[@toastedjoe1013]

He performs the whole time doing the celery trick.

[@omg-vert]

I feel that there could be a place for McGruber in Cicada, Cicada.

[@NITE_SHIFTING]

Woke up this morning and with tired eyes glanced at my phone and thought Seth was interviewing Mike Lindell! 🤣

[@krisfinley6706]

😳 lol

[@concinnus]

Mike Lindell, but grass-fed instead of corn-fed.

[@dbagette]

If only Forte walked out during A Closer Look, then we'd think he did his hair for the bit

[@colleenfinnerty2103]

Somebody hasn't gone to impression camp. 👀

[@AnnieThyme]

Correction before you even get to 15 seconds? Us here we primarily know Will as the Sea Captain😂

[@olorin4317]

You do not want to catch a whiff of barbecue shrimp in a non BBQ setting.

[@alive_in_tucson]

Yes on the musical but also finish The Last Man on Earth!

[@KLondike5]

Kiln Em Softly is such a great name for a pottery place.

[@nicolecopland461]

Usually a kiln will HARDEN, though

[@ronch182]

My favourite SNL cast member!

[@NewMessage]

A musical? Heck, make it a CGI mega blockbuster multiverse franchise.

[@gat0rl1vebeatz]

Did Seth get his high five?!?!? why the suspenseful cut?!

[@WOLFwithTEETH83]

Magruber on ice!!!

[@patrickmike2524]

A MacGrubical

[@Jenny_Oblivion]

🤣

[@gking08]

The MacGruber nod in Bobkin had me roooolling

[@NancyLauten]

i am happily named Nancy after the Sinatra hit song, "Nancy with the Laughing Face" which is nice to have Dad sing to me! and I am the funny one in the family. I love it! and there's also "My Funny Little Valentine", a good song to pass along to the kids.

[@christianadavis5789]

Will Forte is such a kind human. I went up to him at dinner to tell him how much I love him (that was rude of me and shouldn’t have, should’ve waited.) But, he was so lovely and sweet.

[@robbiemcdonnell8482]

His Michael D impression is spot on😂

[@tombowen9861]

I just watched several interviews with the President! He sounds Lovely :D

[@shawnuel]

The sentence that got Will confused WAS very awkwardly stated.

[@bunnyfernwood]

Love me some vocal stylings from the one and only Will Forte

[@lashendawest7509]

We love will forte and seth meyers

[@jabbid111]

I'm Australian, and that accent was spot on. Kate Winslet couldn't have done it better herself.

[@domb8448]

The tonal quality of Fortes togs is noteworthy.. A subtle symphony of plum.

[@silverXnoise]

Wait, when did he whip it out?

[@Alfareon]

i think Olivia just wants to watch Ryan Phillipe sing in person. i mean, me too, but

[@diegooliveirabenjamin]

Just the best voice 😅

[@jlandejr]

As someone who both loves musicals and loves MacGruber I can also fit in on the worlds smallest Venn diagram

[@ainemcdonnelll]

I’m actually Irish and to be fair to will forte our president does sound like that 😅

[@wyskass861]

I was expecting him to bust into a rendition of Fly High Duluth

[@regmcg4171]

Mel Brooks’ wife Anne Bancroft suggested a musical version of “The Producers” , so …

[@ashtree7213]

Oh no!!! Will's Irish accent is straight up the leprechaun from Darby O'Gill and the Little People 😂😂 poor Michael D getting compared to a leprechaun again 🙈

[@itsonlysound]

Love the bones of Miggledy but he is a little leprechaun man, right down to the voice.

[@jenni8982]

Will Forte looks like a High school math teacher from the 80's.

[@Frank.E.Valley]

He also runs the AV club and the D&D club

[@EST84x]

'please welcome back to the show..' and then it becomes incomprehensible because Seth was just so excited.

[@kenster8270]

"Deeaaarrr friend alerrrt!"

[@daniellamcgee4251]

Torville and Dean"s interpretation of Simon and Garfunkel's 'Cecilia' is a lot of fun. 😊

[@PersonalPariah]

Bodkin was a really enjoyable show, I'd recommend it.

[@ArielDuffyable]

...McGrub-ical? 😏(😔)

[@Gwimbleyooo]

Bodkin was really great. Highly recommend it!

[@jeffbraaton4096]

A MacGruber animated series or comic book 🤔would be pretty cool make it happen Seth and Hader help Forte out😎💯

[@Jenny_Oblivion]

Next- Magruber on ice 😂

[@annettebeesting6470]

Could those be DivvyUp socks that Will is wearing?? Love DivvyUp socks!!

[@cannibalbananas]

My middle name is Denise, but forever I spelt it as "Denice" cuz I never saw "Denise" in writing, but I did know Denice the Menace comics in the newspaper.

[@flamingmonkeyxii]

I can't believe he came out as straight! That's fantastic! I was totally caught off guard. Finally some representation in Hollywood!

[@doredormir6357]

Captain my sea captain!

[@ainemcdonnelll]

Bodkin is amazing!!!

[@backelie]

Correction: Denise is also a great song by Fountains of Wayne.

[@wynonasbigbrowndragon6121]

I see Will Forte but I hear Abe Lincoln

[@zachary9009]

I'm pushing for it too

[@wendydarling5790]

A MacGruber musical would fit right in on broadway now. 🙃

[@TheChupacabra]

Hey I know that guy! He’s the guy that celery wears sometimes.

[@catha.j.stuart2200]

Denis Denis by Blondie is about a guy...a French guy

[@mulaneyfangirl]

More Olivia please! ❤

[@lynnstlaurent6789]

My friend and I won a lip sync contest to Cecilia in grade 7. Kinda funny now that I think about it.

[@petecoogan]

Bodkin is fantastic

[@animalmoninc.]

Wow.

[@brigitperry4991]

Fountains of Wayne have a Denise song. Also a bit creepy to sing to a MIL.

[@DNTXPCTMCH]

Damn I want to be in the magruber musical 😂 get some Judy garland inspired songs. If Lin Manuel Miranda does the music = Gold

[@denisem8356]

My name is Denise, I used to work at a donut shop when I was 18, and all the old men would sing that Denise Denise song to me. Yes, it was a little creepy, but also really funny! Will forte, you could sing that song to me any day!

[@regmcg4171]

Worst Irish accent since the waitress in Caddyshack

[@bubblesezblonde]

fun

[@BrendanBurkartSF]

Is Will Forte dressed up as Mike Lindell?

[@lb5368]

Can't believe I'm the first jackal to comment this, but Seth and Will could easily have discussed Ireland's Taoiseach while they were talking about the president's accent! Missed opportunity for jackal representation in the body of the show😂🐾 Also, I love Will Forte❤

[@JosephAguado]

Enough with the MacGruber

[@zerodark13]

“Enough with the Joseph!” - everyone who encounters Joseph

[@mfsoab]

MacGruber is such an underrated movie!

[@anahata2009]

Are those . . . babies on Will's socks?

[@Lonelystonemusic]

McGrubical

[@AntQuick1102]

They really struggled to find a clip that could kind of imply this show is funny. Hiw unfortunate that i watched about up to that episode

[@hotrodandrube9119]

Last man on earth was an utter disappointment. Forte did a terrible job doing his job. He should only ever be a writer, performing is not his forté.

[@Charlie-rw8yj]

sounds like something a no good skunk would say
