>>> THAT IS WILL ARNETT ON THE
BELOVED SERIES KWET ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT.
THE CLASSICALLY TRAINED CANADIAN ACTOR THAT SHARED TWO SONS WITH
EX-WIFE AMY POEHLER HAS GONE ON TO MAKE AUDIENCES LAUGH.
AND ON A HIT PODCAST HE HOSTS WITH A COUPLE BUDDIES.
ONE OF THEM A CO-STAR FROM "ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT."
WE GOT TOGETHER OVER ZOOM THE OTHER DAY TO TALK ABOUT IT IN A
VIRTUAL SUNDAY SIT DOWN. >> LIKE MANY PARENTS THESE DAYS,
WILL ARNETT IS JUST TRYING TO FIND A QUIET PLACE TO WORK FROM
HOME. >> I UNDERSTAND YOU HAVE A VERY
BUSY HOUSE. >> THERE'S A CHANCE THAT DOOR
BEHIND ME AT ANY POINT COULD BURST OPEN AND SOMEONE WILL COME
IN WITH SO AND SO DID THIS, WRECKED THAT, I CUT MY ARM
OFF -- >> THE 51-YEAR-OLD FATHER OF
FOUR BOYS ESCAPED THE CHAOS LONG ENOUGH TO HOST "LEGO MASTERS."
>> GOOD LUCK AND GET YOUR BRICK ON.
>> OUR SHOW IS VERY LIGHTHEARTED.
IT CELEBRATES PEOPLE INTO LEGO, THAT ARE ASPIRING LEGO BUILDERS.
THERE'S A WHOLE COMMUNITY. WE'RE NOT A GOTCHA SHOW OR A
REALITY SHOW. WE DON'T GET PEOPLE BOOZED UP
AND WATCH THEM CRY OR FIGHT WITH EACH OTHER.
I ULTIMATELY WANT TO WRECK THEIR BUILDS AT THE END OF THE DAY.
>> A CHILDHOOD FAN OF LEGO, ARNETT HAS BECOME SOMETHING OF
AN EMBARRASS DOOR THANKS TO HIS ROLE AS THE GRAVELLY VOICE OF
LEGO BATMAN. >> I COULD NOT HAVE IMAGINED AS
A KID THAT LATER ON I WOULD HAVE A CONNECTION TO LEGO, MAKE THE
MOVIES, HAVING MY OWN YOUNG KIDS DOING THE SAME.
I'M JUST A LEGO FAN AND DAD OF KIDS THAT LOVE LEGO.
>> YOU SAY LEGO NOT LEGOS WHICH I ONLY LEARNED RECENTLY.
>> THE PLURAL OF LEGO IS LEGO. I DON'T LIKE TO SHAME PEOPLE.
WE HAVE ALL USED THE TERM LEGOS. IT'S THE ONLY AREA OF MY LIFE
THAT I DON'T CORRECT PEOPLE. >> WHEN HE IS NOT BUILDING OR
BASHING LEGO, HE IS CO-HOSTING THE POPULAR PODCAST "SMARTLESS."
LAUNCHED LAST YEAR WITH JASON BATEMAN AND SEAN HAYS.
>> THE HEART OF THE SHOW IS THE THREE OF YOU GIVING EACH OTHER
CRAP. HOW FUN HAS THAT BEEN?
>> IT'S BEEN SO FUN. I WAS GOING TO DO A PODCAST AND
I CALLED JASON. I TOLD HIM YOU'RE STARTING A
PODCAST AND WE AGREED THAT WE SHOULD DO IT WITH YOU.
AND I WAS LIKE WAIT, WHAT? SO YEAH, THE THREE OF US ARE
DOING A PODCAST NOW. >> YOU'RE NOT GOING TO TAKE YOUR
HAT OFF BECAUSE TODAY YOUR HAIR IS A MESS.
>> I LOVE THOSE GUYS SO MUCH, IT'S UNBELIEVABLE.
SOMETIMES I GO IN THE BOOTH AND DO THE SHOW THAT'S A BREAK FROM
THE INSANITY THAT IS GOING ON AROUND ME.
AND THAT IS MY CHANCE TO BE ME, TALK TO MY BUDDIES.
>> I WAS TEXTING WITH JASON TODAY.
HE WANTED TO KNOW IF YOU COULD SLIDE YOUR MEAL WINDOW INTO A
SPOT OF THE DAY SO THAT YOU'RE NOT EATING AN ITALIAN SUB WHILE
YOU'RE ASKING YOUR QUESTIONS. >> IT'S SO REAL FROM HIM BY THE
WAY. HERE IS THE BEST PART.
IT'S NOT JUST A BURN, BUT HE ACTUALLY MEANS IT.
>> BORN AND RAISED IN TORONTO AR N
ARNETT MOVED TO TORONTO TO PURSUE ACTING.
>> I HAD A NORMAL CHILDHOOD. I HAD GREAT PARENTS.
DO I WANT TO FIND THE PERSON THAT TAUGHT MY MOM HOW TO TEXT?
YEAH, I WANT TO FIND THEM. ARE WE AT A RATIO OF 30 TO 1
TEXTS? >> YES.
>> SHE HAS BEEN DRUNK ON EMOJIS FOR YEARS.
>> HE LANDED PARTS ON "SEX IN THE CITY" AND "THE SOPRANOS."
BUT HIS BIG BREAK CAME ON "ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT" WHERE
CO-STARRING WITH BATEMAN HE PLAYED JOE BLOUFF.
>> IS THAT GRATIFYING TO UNDERSTAND AND HEAR THE STAYING
POWER OF THIS SHOW THAT YOU DID 18 YEARS AGO IN.
>> YEAH. IT IS.
IT IS REALLY GRATIFYING. I KIND OF LANDED BACKWARDS IN
COMEDY. I THINK ONE OF THE GREAT THINGS
IS THAT IT'S NOT TOO -- IT'S TIMELESS.
>> HE ALSO HAD HITS ON "THE MILLERS" AND "30 ROCK" WHILE
BECOMING ONE OF THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER VOICE ACTORS.
>> IN ADDITION TO DEPLOYING HIS PIPES TO SELL CANDY AND TRUCKS,
HE WAS ALSO THE LEAD VOICE FOR SIX SEASONS ON THE OFF BEAT
ANIMATED NETFLIX COMEDY "BOJACK HORSEMAN."
>> HE IS SPIRITUALLY AND MORALLY BANKRUPT.
AND HOW SAD AND HOLLOW HE FEELS, W
BITTER, AND HOW AWARE HE IS OF WHERE HE IS AT, TOO.
IT IS JUST YEAH, REALLY EXTRAORDINARY.
>> NAILED IT. >> WERE YOU BORN WITH THE VOICE
LIKE THIS? DID YOU TRAIN YOUR VOICE?
>> LIKE MOST THINGS IN MY LIFE, WILLIE, IT JUST KIND OF
HAPPENED. MY DAD HAS A DEEP VOICE AND HE
LIKED TO CLAIM IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO ME HE WILL JUST TAKE
OVER. WHICH I THINK A, THAT IS RUDE
AND HE IS 83, AND B, WHY DO YOU THINK SOMETHING IS GOING TO
HAPPEN FROM ME. >> I COME FROM A FAMILY OF
OPTIMISTS. I WILL SAY THAT.
I ALWAYS JUST BELIEVE THAT THINGS WILL WORK OUT AND THEY
USUALLY DO. THERE IS ENOUGH NEGATIVE STUFF
OUT THERE YOU MIGHT AS WELL FOCUS ON WHAT IS WORKING.
>> DAD WAITING IN THE WINGS, A TOUGH BUSINESS.
