Saturday Night Live vet Will Forte is set to visit Will Arnett on Lorne Michaels’ new NBC comedy
Up All Night.
According to
Vulture, the recurring
30 Rock funnyman will appear in the series’ fourth episode as a mellow surfer dude-dad who bonds over parenthood with Arnett’s character at a kiddie park. There’s no word if Forte will also share scenes with his former
SNL co-star (and
Up All Night regular) Maya Rudolph, but we can dream!
The guest spot will reunite Arnett and Forte, who previously appeared together as doofy siblings (pictured above) in 2007′s big-screen flop,
The Brothers Solomon. (Yeah, you probably didn’t see it.)
Up All Night debuts Wednesday, Sept. 14 at 10/9c on NBC.
