Or, as Gail (Mary Steenburgen) kept calling it, “Cancun, baby!”

What do they want?

What do Mike’s armpit hairs smell like?

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY:So, these people in gas masks seem super-friendly and not ominous in any way.

WILL FORTE: I certainly don’t want to give any spoilers away.

It’s kind of exciting.

How much of a threat do they pose to our group?

I can’t really answer the question as to the threat.

Right now I want people to think that it will pose a tremendous threat.

But at this point, we definitely don’t want to turn the show into straight drama.

I think it will be handled in the same way that most of our situations are.

We put those gas masks on them for a reasonto make them seem more ominous.

Another reason is we probably would want to cast some super-kick-ass person.

Well, I guess it depends on how many famous people we can get.

And what have you heard back from Bono and Jack Nicholson’s reps at this point?

They’re saying definite maybes.

Say you heard it from somebody else, obviously.

Speaking of death, any more info on Hugh Laurie’s demise?

Was he a fighter to the end?

He was House, yeah.

It made me really sad for a second.

I met him atSNLwhen he hosted.

The interactions I did have with him, I really liked him.

Yeah, we probably should’ve.

Nobody could look at us and say, “Oh, what responsible people.”

That’s a good question.

So much thought goes into this stuff, and we debated this stuff forever,.

I’m sure we will cross paths from him again.

Are Mike and Jasper now the group’shope for rescue?

Lewis [Kenneth Choi] could still be alive, maybe he survived the plane crash.

What did Jason Sudeikis' armpit hair smell like?

He will be happy to know that his armpit hairs didn’t really have a ton of smell.

I don’t know if people know this, he himself does not have a sense of smell.

But hopefully he reads this so he can feel good about himself.

Neutral is what you’re saying.

Yeah, totally neutral.

I don’t know which take we used, but definitely he was ripping them out.

So it wasn’t stunt armpit hair.

He committed to character.

Oh my God, Jason goes for it.

Now I’m wondering: Is there something you better tell me about the fart jar?

Did you guys go real on that too?

No, no, there was no fart in that jar.

To me, I was like, “What the f is that all about?”

If you might say it once, why can’t you say it a million times?

It’s just a little absence of sound and it’s just so weird to me.

And it’s the word “piss.”

He is captivating and alarming.

My friends just showed up.

Two of them work on the show, so I’m going to ask.

So certainly we aren’t a bunch of dog haters on the show.

But I understand if people are not super-excited about seeing a taxidermy dog’s head.

It’s a weird thing, and it took on this other meaning.

What hint can you drop about next season, assuming you get one?

Looks can be deceiving.

The show has been struggling in the ratings.

If we got a fifth season, we’d probably be thinking that was our last season.

And then we thought later, “Let’s not put that pressure on ourselves.

As a creator, you want to make it harder on them to say goodbye to it.

They’ve been wonderful to us.

I havenohard feelings if they do cancel the show.

Do they advertise us a bunch?

And that’s a little bit of a shame.

By the way, weaskedto do it in two parts.

I know we have some hardcore followers, and I don’t know how the rest of it works.

I would just say, “Thank you for letting us do four seasons of the show.”

It’ll just be a blessing if we somehow get a chance to make more of them.

I just so appreciate the fans that we have, and they’ve been so good to us.

I don’t know what the ending would be.

I can’t even say it would be a happy ending.

I just want it to be an ending that makes sense.

For people who watch the showand for me.

It’s been four years of pretty stressful, crazy work and not seeing family or friends.

That’s the commonly used phrase, right?
