Interview with SNL Alum Fred Armisen: His Comedy, Characters, Creative Process, Music (& Obsession with Devo)

SNL alum, comedian, actor, writer, musician Fred Armisen joins Peter for a journey through Fred's life and entertainment career. In this CREATV University session, Fred discusses how he began his career (as a punk rock drummer), fearlessly broke through into comedy and SNL, how he develops his characters, and his overall creative process. He takes us into the world of Portlandia, Documentary Now, and Los Espookys - but, with every journey somehow ending up with music front and center (Ian Rubbish & Blue Jean Committee, anyone)?
