On a recent episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, Emmy-nominated actor Will Arnett made a lively appearance, capturing the attention of the audience with his year-round tan and captivating voice. Arnett, known for his roles in movies like “Next Goal Wins” and the host of “Lego Masters” on Fox, charmed the crowd from the moment he stepped on stage.
The conversation began with Arnett’s impressive physique, prompting Kimmel to inquire about his workout routine. Arnett jokingly revealed his secret, claiming he had a full HGH mainline going. He also shared his excitement about being back to work after a long strike, acknowledging the impact it had on everyone in the industry.
During the strike, Arnett spent a lot of time with his family, although he admitted that the 24/7 dynamics were challenging. He humorously pointed out how he found himself commenting on things that he normally wouldn’t have noticed, like his son’s nap schedule. Arnett’s partner, however, may have found it a bit overwhelming.
As the conversation continued, Arnett mentioned his team, consisting of Chappie and Eli, who accompanied him that night. Arnett playfully teased Eli for his unreliable hockey stats, highlighting his tendency to make sweeping generalizations without fact-checking.
Jimmy Kimmel then brought up Arnett’s podcast, “SmartLess,” which he hosts with Jason Bateman and Sean Hayes. Arnett discussed their live show and the documentary they were a part of, injecting humor into the conversation.
Kimmel playfully asked Arnett if he would continue the podcast if Bateman and Hayes were to die. Arnett, seemingly caught off guard, became emotional, shedding a tear for humor’s sake. But he quickly composed himself, showcasing his acting skills and sense of humor.
The conversation shifted to Arnett’s recent film, “Next Goal Wins.” Directed by Taika Waititi and featuring a talented cast including Michael Fassbender, Lizzy Moss, and Rekstina, the film tells the true story of the American Samoa national football team striving to score their first goal on the international stage.
Arnett also reminisced about his experience hosting a segment at Woodstock ’94. He jokingly recalled the less-than-glamorous aspects of the gig, including the eager and enthusiastic crowd known for their intense partying.
The interview concluded with Arnett promoting his show “Lego Masters” and jokingly attempting to recreate his Woodstock ’94 hosting moment. Although the second attempt was an improvement, Arnett acknowledged the previous one would be wiped from the internet.
Arnett’s appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live was a whirlwind of humor, anecdotes, and entertaining stories. His charismatic personality and quick wit left the audience laughing and wanting more. With his new movie and ongoing projects, fans can’t wait to see what Will Arnett has in store next.
Don’t miss new episodes of “Lego Masters” on Thursday nights at 9 PM on Fox and keep an eye out for Arnett’s upcoming film “Next Goal Wins.”
