my desk in my room and one of the shows i would watch religiously on channel 5 in las vegas was "fernwood 2 night." this was a parody of a talk show starring martin mull as barth gimble and fred willard as his sidekick and announcer jerry hubbard. i loved this show. this is one of those shows that probably 80% of the people watching it didn't get. maybe 90%. it was definitely my kind of show. and fred was so great on it. he was the oblivious second banana. he would chime in and say dumb things in a very earnest and genial way. he and martin mull were great together. they went on to make a fake documentary called "the history of white people in america" that i enjoyed. they were a married couple on "roseanne." and then of course fred was discovered by a new generation of fans thanks to the great christopher guest movies "waiting for guffman" and "best in show" and fred was in "anchorman." he was on "modern family." he played basically the same character in everything. he was the same guy. because it always worked. so why would you change it? it didn't matter if the movie or show was good,

i read a quote that martin mull, who worked with him for a long time and early on -- >> stephen: fernwoodch a perfect way to describe fred willard and his brand of comedy. he-- he... he never indicated at all that anything he was doing was even remotely funny. and i think that's what made it 10 times funnier, that-- he was so deep in character, you almost started to think, well, he's just this person. he has no idea how funny he's being. but he did. and he's, i think, probably the finniest thing in "space force." there was one-- he'd improvise a lot of stuff, obviously. and after one take, the crew put down all their equipment and gave him a standing ovation. it was-- he was a joy. and just a really sweet person, as well. ph: wow. well, steve, it was great to see you. thanks so much for coming oy bee gang. good to see you. you're looking well. >> stephen: thank you very much. makeup does wonders.
