Summary

SNL veteran and Los Espookys star Fred Armisen joins me at Kodo in Downtown L.A., which is a fire station turned sushi restaurant. We actually ate outside in what was the station’s handball court almost a century ago. Over ponzu oysters and Japanese calamari fritti, we’ll gab about his iconic appearance as my former lover on Modern Family, leaving SNL and his new life as a local L.A. DJ. Join us!
