Here at Wired we don’t fear losing our jobs to robots – in fact, we advocate for it.
So when Fred Armisen stopped by the Wired office after the SF Sketchfest tribute to his Peabody Award-winning show Portlandia, we decided to let our robot Rob-EE do the talking. Armisen and Rob-EE even had a heart-to-android-heart. Rob-EE also managed to get some dirt about Armisen’s thoughts on the end of 30 Rock, working on both Portlandia and Saturday Night Live, and the very-prescient subject of a robot’s right to comedy.
“Hopefully there will be a day when all comedy is all robots,” Armisen says. “There should be comedians who perform only for robots – I’m saying human comedians that only perform for robots.”
Find out what else happened when Rob-EE sat down with Armisen in the video above. Portlandia airs Fridays at 10 p.m./9 p.m. Central on IFC.
