Jorma Taccone EXPOSES SNL, MacGruber & His Wild New Movie

Jorma Taccone joins to break down his wild run from Saturday Night Live writer to creating over 100 SNL Digital Shorts, including how “Lazy Sunday” changed everything, the chaos of pitching MacGruber (and bombing hard in Lorne Michaels’ office), and how that sketch turned into a cult classic movie that still sells out theaters today! He shares behind-the-scenes stories about Bill Hader impressions, Anne Hathaway quoting MacGruber on a Christopher Nolan set, and why John Mayer almost did the MacGruber TV theme song. Jorma also talks about directing his new thriller Over Your Dead Body, winning the Audience Award at South by Southwest, filming in Finland, working with Jason Segel and Samara Weaving, and balancing comedy, violence, and suspense. Plus, stories from the SNL writer’s room pressure cooker, the lost Talk Is Jericho MacGruber episode, why comedy timing really comes down to frame-by-frame precision, and the true story about the meaning of his own name.

See Over Your Dead Body in theaters this FRIDAY, April 24th!
