Fresh off his surprise Emmy Award win for Season 5 of Fargo, actor and comedian Lamorne Morris joins this week’s episode of The Last Laugh podcast to break down his scene-stealing performance as the “elder statesman” of the original SNL cast in Jason Reitman’s new film Saturday Night.

Morris, who portrays Garrett Morris (no relation) in the movie, discusses what it was like to enter the fictionalized world of SNL more than a decade after he auditioned for the show (and didn’t get it). He also reveals how his New Girl character Winston’s “kind eyes” helped land him his Emmy-winning role on Fargo, tells the full story about how he almost missed out on the sitcom that has defined his career to date, and explains his running joke with New Girl castmate Jake Johnson about a potential reunion.

When Lamorne Morris got the email from his agent about an audition for the role of Garrett Morris in Saturday Night, he immediately replied, “Oh, this is great, I’m going to put this on tape right now. I mean, he is my grandfather.”
