"I worked so hard for so long to create an environment where people were nice, where people were treated nice, and where people realized how important it was to be nice," former Barney's New York shoe buyer Jeffrey Kalinsky told the Advocate And then there was a skit, and it needed a name, and somehow because we were new in town and doing something different and cool, it got associated with not acknowledging people. Few SNL cast members have had a greater knack for delivering a sublimely stupid line, and Jordan gave it all with signoffs like "Join us next week, when our guests will be a dog, and a baby dog." But few were stranger than Fellow, a dense young man who hosted a show about animals despite seeming to lack even the most basic understanding of the animals or their surroundings ("The rainforest, that sounds wet!"). "A delusional gay guy interviewing animals? What the fuck is that, Tim?" Tracy Jordan's tenure on SNL, sorely underappreciated at the time, spawned a host of running characters who were hysterically strange but never quite took off, from Astronaut Jones to Dominican Lou.
My man Tim Herlihy picked right up on that shit," Morgan said in his autobiography, adding that Herlihy came up with the animal element.
"I said he was this weird gay dude who imagined stuff in his head and thought he knew everything. It was as impressive as Forte’s Walken impression was awful.Animal talk show host Brian Fellow was inspired by someone that Tracy Morgan's ex-wife knew in high school – Morgan built a character around her descriptions. However, on the third attempt, Meyers held so ridiculously strong that he was practically bent backwards over the seat of the booth without making a single reaction. Maybe it was the four shots he just downed, but Meyers couldn’t hold it together while Forte did his awful Walken voice.Īfter some more bantering, Meyers also revealed that Forte was a beast at never breaking character on SNL, which led to a no holds barred challenge where Forte tried to get Meyers to break, which he did almost immediately, twice in a row.
It’s not exactly clear what he’s trying to do because it sounds nothing like the actor’s iconic speaking voice, but it did leave Seth Meyers dying of laughter. To prove Meyers’ point, Forte busted out his Walken impression on the spot around the 6:15 mark of the clip above, and yup, it’s pretty bad. Forte just cannot pull it off, and he was even cut out of a sketch because his Walken voice is so terrible. After mixing up some pretty disgusting cocktails involving, we kid you not, Cheese Whiz and maple syrup, the two sat down at a booth for some more drinking and reminiscing about their time on SNL.Īs Meyers tells it, Forte is a talented sketch writer and performer, but there’s one comedic talent that completely slips his grasp: Doing a passable Christopher Walken impression.
