![]() ![]() So Arnett started doing this thing where every night, he says, “I would try to slip out right before they’d call ‘wrap,’ and I would get in my car and I’d drive, like, 30 feet away, and then I’d open the window and I would say, ‘Bye, Will!’ And he’d be like, ‘No, wait! I have to say good-bye!’ And I’d go, ‘No, I have to go!’ And I’d drive away and he’d run after me. This was true for SNL, and Will Arnett remembers it from when they did 2007’s Brothers Solomon. And he can’t leave any set without saying good-bye to everyone. He says, “Break a leg!” to his fellow actors before every take on Last Man, according to Schaal. He often puts his hand over his heart when talking sincerely.ĥ. He will kill the water bug and then slightly threaten you with it.”Ĥ. I was screaming, like, ‘You don’t understand! This is not funny to me!’ That’s a good spin on Will Forte. ![]() But in true Forte style - I’m so grossed out by water bugs - after he killed it, he had it in this paper towel and he was chasing me around with it and threatening to wave it in my face. “He was my handyman and my friend, and when I saw this giant water bug in my apartment, I immediately called him and he came over and killed it, and I was so glad. ![]() “And he very gallantly told the crew that it was his.” He also killed a giant water bug for Rachel Dratch when they were next-door neighbors during their time on SNL. Kristen Schaal had to eat beans in one scene on Last Man and then lie on top of Forte for a sex scene right afterwards. “We have pictures of him at our wedding trying to touch tongues with her. “I don’t know if that’s what I’d describe as generous,” he says. Taccone says he tries to French-kiss Taccone’s wife every time he sees her. “Eric? Will,” he said, shaking his hand, as if the guy didn’t already know his name. When a fan approached, Forte took a selfie with him, asked him about his hometown (Austin), talked about how great the music scene was there, and made sure to get his name. When I met him, he paid his own parking meter, then turned around and handed the rest of his change to the guy in line behind him. His MacGruber director, the Lonely Island’s Jorma Taccone, takes it further: “He’s the most polite slash generous, almost to a fault, human I’ve ever met.” Taccone tells me Forte took all of his per diem for MacGruber and gave it to the crew as a thank you when they wrapped. Will Forte is the most polite man in Hollywood, according to everyone I interviewed and probably a lot of people I didn’t. More stray observations and stories emerged than could fit in the printed piece, so in honor of Last Man’s finale last night, please enjoy the many things one learns about Will Forte from spending time with him (and talking to a bunch of people he knows), including just how nice he is, what happened when he stuck his hand in Andy Samberg’s urine flow, and what it was like having Val Kilmer as a roommate.ġ. Did Will Forte create The Last Man on Earth, in which he plays humanity’s worst living representative, because he is in fact the best dude on the planet? Talking to his friends and spending a couple of hours eating breakfast burritos and strolling around Venice Beach with him for a New York Magazine feature certainly gave this reporter that impression.
