Fred Armisen Returning to "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" for post-Super Bowl episode -- EXCLUSIVE
by James Hibberd
Dec 18, 2013
Fred Armisen is coming back to the precinct.
The former "Saturday Night Live" star is set to return to Fox’s "Brooklyn Nine-Nine", marking his first appearance on the show since his buzzy cameo in the pilot. And he’s not just in any BN-N episode, but landing in the comedy’s huge post-Super Bowl slot.
Re-joining fellow ex-SNL castmate Andy Samberg on the series, Armisen plays “Melipnos,” his oddball character from the premiere. Amy (Melissa Fumero) and Jake (Samberg) have another strange encounter with Melipnos while tracking down a suspect.
Also since no post-Bowl show is complete without a sports legend cameo, we can also reveal that former NFL great Joe Theismann is also appearing in the episode, playing himself.
We’re told Theismann has a “physical encounter” with Jake.
