Weh Late Night started he was still doing Portlandia and he may well live on the west coast so his deal with Seth was that he would play with the band when he was available and in New York. During the COVID period Armisen could contribute remotely like the other band members. Since 1975 NBC executives have frequently come and gone, especially as the network switched owners. Lorne has stayed constant and he's figured out a way to deal with network interference. It's silly to think that any exec can force Lorne to comply with their whims. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
