    Sporting a strong German accent, Armisen portrayed the titular host of "The Lawrence Welk Show." He would appear twice during the sketch, at the beginning, when he would introduce the Maharelle Sisters, and at the end, when he would express confusion at the sisters' act. Welk would often use the fact that the sisters came from the Finger Lakes to m...

    Between 2008 and 2013, Armisen made several stints as former New York governor David Paterson. Appearing during the Weekend Update segment, he would often share banter with anchor Seth Meyers about any given political topic relevant at the moment. At one point, Meyers even states that Paterson is one of his best friends in the whole world, alongsid...

    A satire of English singer Johnny Rotten, Armisen portrayed Ian Rubbish, the lead singer of a punk band, alongside Bill Hader and Taran Killam. Performing as Ian Rubbish and the Bizarros, they would sing traditionally protest songs, like "Hey, Policeman" and "Living in the Gutter." Rubbish had contempt for nearly everyone, except Margaret Thatcher,...

    The pairing of Fred Armisen and Vanessa Beyer never failed to disappoint. One of the two female cast members with whom Armisen had the most chemistry, the two made numerous appearances on Weekend Update as "The Best Friends From Growing Up" of several controversial political figures.

    One of Armisen's most outlandish characters, Regine was an Edna Mode lookalike with a terrible attitude problem. Snobbish and plain rude, Regine would attend the family gathering of her boyfriend. Upon arriving, she would make cruel, derogatory comments about everything, from the food to the guests. Her boyfriend would remain oblivious to her ruden...

    Whenever Armisen was paired with Kristen Wiig, hilarity was bound to ensue. Proof of this is the Weekend Update recurring sketch, Garth and Kat. Armisen played Garth, one half of a musical duo, opposite Wiig's Kat. The two would be invited by Seth Meyers to perform their music, related to a specific holiday. It would soon become clear that the two ...

    Armisen's first character to really break out, Fericito was a Venezuelan Nightclub comedian, who started as an Update guest. Becoming wildly popular with fans, he was soon given his own sketch, "Showbiz Grande Explosion!" making him Armisen's first recurring character. Fericito was joined by his sidekick, Manuel Pantalones, played by Horatio Sanz, ...

    The combination of Bill Hader, Kristen Wiig and Fred Armisen was always bound to be explosive. However, the absolute absurdity of "The Californians" is too great to be described. Armisen played Stuart, a native Californian who would discover his wife, Karina, with the gardener, Devin. RELATED: SNL: The 5 Best & 5 Worst Guest Hosts Of All Time, Rank...

    Armisen's take on author, essayist and journalist Michael Wolff is a hilarious showing of deadpan. Playing the author with a mix of self-importance and utter disinterest, Armisen shines in his interventions, whether he's opposite Alex Moffat's Joe Scarborough or Bill Hader's Anthony Scaramucci. Armisen's Wolff has little interest in whether his acc...

    Creepy, somewhat detached, clearly desperate and absolutely hilarious, Armisen's Michael Bloomberg takes the cake when it comes to his best celebrity impressions. Despite playing him several times during the later years of his SNLtenure, Armisen's take on the former New York City governor really exploded thanks to the 2020 Presidential Bash. Armise...
