I'm a little younger than these guys, but I would say all of us are huge fans of the original 'MacGyver' series, and obviously we found that inspiration for the original pitch for 'MacGruber.'
From Jorma Taccone
When you first see MacGruber working on the bomb, in the initial opening credits, that bomb was a replica of the 'Die Hard' bomb. The love runs deep for '80s action movies.
I went to the doctor recently and she actually prescribed that I go out for ten minutes a day, I'm so depleted on vitamin D.
When we came out with 'Lazy Sunday,' the greatest compliment I heard was that Questlove had it on his iPod.
Something I always admire, especially in female comedians, is that they're willing to make themselves look terrible.
'MacGruber' came to life mostly because we just liked saying 'MacGyver.' 'MacGyver' this. 'MacGyver' that. It's a great word.
It's still amazing to me to walk down the halls of 'SNL.' You see pictures of the greatest comedians we grew up worshiping, basically. It's crazy to be able to still work there.
