The show brings Forte back to his TV comedy roots. He first broke through on NBC’s Saturday Night Live, departing in 2010 after eight seasons on the show. He’s lately earned praise for his subtle, surprising dramatic performances in the films Nebraska and Run & Jump.
It also reunites Forte with Lord and Miller. Forte voiced Abe Lincoln on the pair’s Clone High, and had a supporting role on their feature debut Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs. More recently, Forte made a voice cameo as Abraham Lincoln in The Lego Movie, in a nod to his Clone High character.
Aside from Last Man on Earth, Forte’s upcoming roles include the indie dramedy Trouble Dolls and Peter Bogdanovich’s comedy Squirrels to the Nuts. Lord and Miller have 22 Jump Street due out in June.
