The series that has brought together Phil Lord, Chris Miller, a seemingly deserted planet Earth, and Will Forte as the Last Man on Earth “Phil Miller” (see what they did there?) is finally premiering tonight.

Make sure to see what Forte (and probably most of us if we were being completely honest) would do if we had the whole world all to ourselves (i.e. Tequila filled kid pools) by tuning at 9PM tonight for the hour premiere on Fox.

How does Klown presented by Sacha Baron Cohen or Ghostbusters presented by Paul Scheer sound? Something that’s both great and you would’ve never imagined happening you say?

Well, luckily, The 4th Annual Wayne Federman International Film Festival, the festival that brings comedians and their favorite films together at Cinefamily, has both of the aforementioned events as well as MacGruber star Will Forte presenting a screening of none other than MacGruber.

Every year Federman gets together a great handful of these screenings, but this year’s line-up seems primed to be especially great.

The 4th WFIFF runs from Thurs. Mar. 5th-Sun. Mar. 7th at Cinefamily and you can and should get tickets now.

Will Forte Really Takes Advantage of Being “Last Man on Earth” in New Unofficial Promo

February 15, 2015

last man on earth, will forte

Earlier this week, Will Forte tweeted out a new promo for his upcoming show of Fox, Last Man on Earth. Titled “POOL 20 TC” along with having a timecode on the top left corner, it’s safe to say that this version is probably not going to air like this.

Still, it’s pretty fun and probably the fantasy of a good many people if they found out that they were the last person on this planet.

For the rest of Forte’s post-apocalyptic shenanigans, we’ll have to wait for the premiere on Sun. Mar. 1st at 9PM on Fox.

Leading up to the Mar. 1st premiere of Last Man on Earth, there is a promotional campaign that has led to giving a cell phone to star Will Forte and then giving the real phone number to that phone to the rest of us via flyers in major cities.

520-428-1174 will probably get you to voicemail, but there’s a chance you could get in touch with Forte, though we’re not sure whether he’ll answer as Will or his character Phil Miller or even someone else like Jenjamin Franklin.

The Simpsons Casts Will Forte in Role That’s Been a Long Time Mystery
