Fred Armisen signs at J&R Music on Monday, Dec. 5, 2011 at 12:30 PM!
Fred Armisen, co-creator, co-writer and co-star of Portlandia, is also in his ninth season on Saturday Night Live. On SNL, Armisen took on the role of then Democratic Presidential nominee and now U.S. President, Sen. Barack Obama, as well as New York Governor David Paterson. Other characters include the vaguely European home design enthusiast “Nuni,” the Native American comic Billy Smith, the political comedian Nicholas Fehn, and Prince, the often-silent host of the musician’s talk show, “The Prince Show.” Armisen has also contributed memorable impressions of Muammar Gaddafi, Queen Elizabeth, Steve Jobs, and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in the popular Digital Short “Iran So Far Away.”
Armisen has landed on Rolling Stone’s “Hot List” as well as twice on Entertainment Weekly’s “Must List” (for his performance as a politically incorrect deaf comedian and his witty iTunes playlist). He recently appeared in the feature films Easy A opposite Emma Stone, Confessions of a Shopaholic opposite Isla Fisher, The Rocker opposite Rainn Wilson and The Promotion with John C. Reilly. He has also appeared in the films Tenacious D: The Pick of Destiny with Jack Black, The Ex with Zach Braff and Jason Bateman, as well as Eurotrip, and Will Ferrell and Adam McKay’s Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy.
