Fereydun Robert “Fred” Armisen (born December 4, 1966) is an American actor, comedian, writer, producer, and musician. He is best known as a cast member on Saturday Night Live from 2002 until 2013. Armisen has portrayed characters in comedy films, including EuroTrip, Anchorman, and Cop Out. With his comedy partner Carrie Brownstein, Armisen was the co-creator and co-star of the IFC sketch comedy series Portlandia. Armisen founded ThunderAnt.com, a website that features the comedy sketches created with Brownstein, and is the bandleader and frequent drummer for the Late Night with Seth Meyers house band, The 8G Band.
For his work on Portlandia, Armisen was nominated for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing for a Variety Series in 2012, 2013 and 2014 and for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series in 2014. He received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Comedy Album for Standup for Drummers in 2019. He has also won two Peabody Awards, one in 2008 as part of the Saturday Night Live political satire cast and one in 2011 for Portlandia. Since 2019, he co-stars and acts as writer and executive producer on the Spanish-language series Los Espookys, which he co-created.
Early life and education
Armisen was born on December 4, 1966, in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. He moved with his family to New York as a baby and briefly lived in Brazil in his youth. He was raised in Valley Stream, New York, where he was a high school classmate of fellow SNL alumnus Jim Breuer. Armisen attended the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan before dropping out to begin a career as a rock drummer. He has mentioned watching the bands The Clash and Devo perform on television and wanting to be a performer since he was a child.
His mother, schoolteacher Hildegardt Mirabal Level, was born in San Fernando de Apure, Venezuela, and has family from San Rafael de Atamaica, also in Apure. His father, Fereydun Herbert “Fred” Armisen, who worked for IBM, was born in Soltau, Lower Saxony, Germany, to a German mother and Korean-born father, Park Yeong-in.
For much of his life, Armisen thought his paternal grandfather was Japanese. However, his grandfather – Ehara Masami (Japanese: 江原正美, Hepburn: Ehara Masami), better known by his professional pseudonym Masami Kuni (Japanese: 邦正美, Hepburn: Kuni Masami, or marked as Korean: 방정미; RR: Bang Jeongmi; MR: Pang Chŏngmi) or birth name Park Yeong-in (Korean: 박영인; Hanja: 朴永仁; RR: Park Yeongin; MR: Pak Yŏngin), – was actually born in Ulsan, Korea, and had adopted a Japanese name and persona after the massacre of Koreans in 1923 when he was a high school student. Park studied aesthetics in Tokyo Imperial University and became a professional dancer before moving to Germany. He worked for Nazi Germany during WW2 but was a spy for the Empire of Japan in Europe. Park Yeong-in’s family were members of the Korean aristocracy, who could verifiably trace their lineage back to the 1600s.
Career
Music
In 1984, Armisen played drums in a local band along with his high school friends in Valley Stream, New York, but the group soon ended. In 1988, he moved to Chicago to play drums for the punk rock band Trenchmouth, and in the 1990s he played background drums with Blue Man Group.
Armisen played drums on three tracks for Les Savy Fav’s 2007 album Let’s Stay Friends, as well as tracks for Matthew Sweet’s 2011 album Modern Art and Wandering Lucy’s 1996 album Leap Year.
Armisen is the bandleader and frequent drummer of the 8G Band, the house band for Late Night with Seth Meyers, as of February 24, 2014.
Television and film
While not playing with the band Trenchmouth, Armisen’s interests switched to acting. In a January 2006 interview, he said, “I wanted to be on TV somehow. For some reason, I always thought it would be an indirect route; I didn’t know that it would be comedy and Saturday Night Live. I just wanted to do something with performing that would lead me there.”
Armisen’s subsequent television work, such as some “memorable Andy Kaufman–esque appearances” on Late Night with Conan O’Brien, as well as work for Crank Yankers and Adult Swim, led to a role in 2002 as a featured player in the cast of Saturday Night Live. In the 2004 season, he was promoted to repertory cast member status.
Armisen has landed several minor yet memorable roles that were defined by an interviewer as “feral foreigners” in comedy films such as Eurotrip, Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo, Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, Deck the Halls, The Ex, The Promotion, The Rocker, Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny and Confessions of a Shopaholic.
Further television work included an appearance on Parks and Recreation in the 2009 episode “Sister City”. For the Cartoon Network series The Looney Tunes Show (2011–2014), Armisen voices Speedy Gonzales. He and fellow Saturday Night Live alums Bill Hader and Seth Meyers write, produce, and star in the IFC mockumentary series Documentary Now! which premiered in 2015.
Armisen stars in the IFC sketch series Portlandia alongside Carrie Brownstein (of Sleater-Kinney); the first season debuted on January 21, 2011. With Brownstein, he appeared on the 2012 Simpsons episode “The Day the Earth Stood Cool”, in which they play the Simpsons’ new neighbors, who encourage everyone to be cool like them.
In 2014, Armisen worked as bandleader on Late Night with Seth Meyers received positive reviews for his deadpan comedy, especially in his interplay with the host.
Saturday Night Live
Armisen joined the cast of Saturday Night Live in 2002. He was promoted to a repertory player in 2004. After 11 years as a cast member, he decided to leave the show. At the time of his 2013 departure from the show, Armisen was the third-longest tenured cast member (behind Seth Meyers and Darrell Hammond), and he appeared in the second-most sketches (856) of any cast member. Since then, Armisen has come back for multiple cameo appearances on the show, including when he hosted the season 41 finale on May 21, 2016, with musical guest Courtney Barnett.
The following is a partial list of notable roles Armisen has played in Saturday Night Live sketches.
Recurring characters
- Billy Smith – a Native American stand-up comedian who tells Native-American-themed jokes that no one understands.
- Fericito – a Venezuelan nightclub comedian who has his own TV show, Show Biz Grande Explosion with sidekick Manuel (Horatio Sanz).
- Gunther Kelly – a student at George Washington University who performs songs on Weekend Update with his brother Patrick (played by Will Forte).
- Leonard – the strange European host of the foreign music show Club Traxx.
- Mackey – a senile drummer who often does rimshots at inappropriate moments and appears in the “Rialto Grande” sketches.
- Nooni Schoener – a quirky, foreign art dealer who appears with his wife Nuni Schoener (played by Maya Rudolph) in “the Schoeners” sketches)
- Frondi – a mentally challenged character who criticizes Ben Affleck’s movie Gigli to Ben himself.
- Manuel Ortiz – host of The Manuel Ortiz show on Television Dominicana where he “helps with whatever it is” his audience members are going through.
- Nicholas Fehn – a political commentator whose mind wanders so much that he is incapable of finishing a sentence without starting a new one.
- Roger A. Trevanti – a greedy studio head and AMPTP member who rails against the 2007–08 Writers Guild of America strike. The character’s only SNL appearance was on the last episode of season 33, before the show went on hiatus for the WGA strike, but he appeared in several Internet videos around the same time.
- Roger Brush – a producer of multiple “Dr. Phil”-type talk shows, each focused on a different topic (teen, marital, sexual, and pregnancy issues), who fills in when the hosts are sick. He repeatedly tells guests relating their problems to speak up, and, unable to relate to their problems, offers them either useless advice based on his experience or no help at all.
- Garth – part of Garth & Kat (with Kristen Wiig), a musical duo who appear on Weekend Update unprepared and make up songs on the spot.
- Giuseppe – the saxophone player for What’s Up With That?
- Stuart – homeowner from The Californians, a soap opera parody featuring Armisen, Bill Hader, Kristen Wiig and others as wealthy blondes with Valley girl accents.
- One of the “Dictator’s Two Best Friends from Growing Up” (with Vanessa Bayer) who come to Weekend Update to secretly trash-talk the various dictators (such as Muammar al-Gaddafi and Kim Jong-un) with whom they grew up.
- Regine – a pretentious and condescending woman who exhibits blatant euphoric and erotic facial expressions when touched on certain parts of her body.
- Ian Rubbish – A late-1970s/early-80s British punk rocker, a parody of Sex Pistols’ John Lydon, who caught heat from his bandmates Derek Gash (played by Bill Hader) and Keith Grimshaw (played by Taran Killam) and fans for writing and performing songs supporting Conservative Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.
Celebrity impressions
Armisen’s list of notable impressions has included:
- Barack Obama – recurring in Season 33 and Season 34 episodes as the Democratic presidential candidate (Season 33), the Democratic nominee, President-elect, and President (Season 34), beginning on February 23, 2008. As of season 38, Jay Pharoah replaced Armisen as Obama.
- Prince – parody of the musician as the host of a talk show called The Prince Show, with Beyoncé Knowles (played by Maya Rudolph) as his co-host. Armisen, a fan of Prince since childhood, created the sketch as a way of improving his chances of meeting the musician.
- Steve Jobs – Apple CEO who appears on Weekend Update to show off strange new technology. Armisen has stated that Steve Jobs is the celebrity he most enjoys portraying.
- Ira Glass – After seeing an unused SNL sketch, Glass invited Armisen to co-host a This American Life episode about doppelgängers.
- David Paterson – Governor of New York.
- Queen Elizabeth II – There were four sketches between the years 2010 and 2012 where he played the Queen of the United Kingdom.
- Michael Bloomberg – numerous sketches between 2011 and present, including recurrent segments during the 2020 Democratic Primaries.
Other work
In 1998, he posed as a music journalist for the short film Fred Armisen’s Guide to Music and South by Southwest. It was filmed by then-girlfriend Sally Timms and featured Armisen’s “pranking musicians and industry types” during the South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas. In various segments he asked self-described “stupid” questions, pretended to be German, and also acted blind. A year later, Armisen starred with alternative rock legend Steve Albini in Chevelle’s Point #1 EPK.
Armisen is part of ThunderAnt, a comedy duo with Sleater-Kinney guitarist Carrie Brownstein. The duo specializes in creating comedic short skits often about independent vocations such as one-man shows, feminist bookstores, and bicycle rights activists.
Armisen has directed music videos for bands like The Helio Sequence. Armisen also had a role in the Wilco documentary I Am Trying to Break Your Heart, which featured footage from his stint opening for front man Jeff Tweedy’s 2001 solo tour. He also appeared in video segments on Blue Man Group’s How to be a Megastar Tour 2.0. Armisen occasionally writes for Pitchfork Media and interviewed Cat Power for that company. Fred appeared as Jens Hannemann on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on October 19, 2007, promoting a 28-minute DVD called Fred Armisen presents Jens Hannemann: “COMPLICATED DRUMMING TECHNIQUE”. In 2010, Armisen briefly joined Joanna Newsom’s tour for her album Have One on Me as his character Jens Hannemann. On SNL, Armisen often plays musical instruments in sketches, has two recurring characters who are musicians (Mackey the drummer from the Rialto Grande and Ferecito from Showbiz Grande Explosion), or impersonates famous figures in the music world such as Liberace, Phil Spector, Lou Reed, and Prince.
Armisen appeared in the official music video for Man Man’s song “Rabbit Habits”, playing a man who charms his blind date (Charlyne Yi) but runs away after she turns into a werewolf.
In 2013, Armisen appeared in the official music video for Portland, Oregon-based band Red Fang’s song “Blood Like Cream”.
Along with Bill Hader and Jason Sudeikis, Armisen voiced radio characters in the video game Grand Theft Auto IV.
Armisen performed as a singer/drummer/comedic actor in the Blue Man Group’s “How to be a Megastar Live!”. He played the part of a salesman on TV who advertises for the Megastar Rock Manual. He also drummed in the performance and was a backup singer.
In late 2014, Armisen was featured on the popular comedy web series Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee with host Jerry Seinfeld.

In 2015, Armisen was the recipient of Smithsonian magazine’s American Ingenuity Award for Performing Arts.
Personal life
Armisen was married to English singer and songwriter Sally Timms from 1998 to 2004 and to actress Elisabeth Moss from 2009 to 2011. He has been in a relationship with actress Natasha Lyonne since 2014.
Armisen, as of March 2018, resides in the Silver Lake neighborhood of Los Angeles. Prior to his move he was a resident of Portland, Oregon’s Pearl District. He has stated that he is an atheist.
Armisen is a fan of the video game Red Dead Redemption. On a 2018 episode of Larry King Now, he described himself as being “very good” at the game. This prompted the studio Rockstar Games to cast him in the next installment of the series, Red Dead Redemption 2. He is also a fan of black metal and death metal.
