Fred Armisen Talks Bringing Latino Comedy to the Mainstream With Launch of Más Mejor
Some people just get it, and others miss. For all the crap we give him for not having any sort of Latino representation on Saturday Night Live and
for letting that red-haired-ignorant-fool-running for the highest
office in our country host, Lorne Michaels gets it. He gets business, he
gets comedy, and finally he gets us. Today, Michaels’ media company, Broadway Video launched Más Mejor, a
premium digital comedy content studio powered by Latino voices. What
does “powered by Latino voices” mean, exactly? It means that all
content, written, and performed is actually created by Latinos, by funny
Latinos. Not by some gringo sitting in a network’s writing room
pitching jokes for a Latino actor based on what his grandfather told him
about West Side Story. Más Mejor promises “more stories, more better.”
