Fred Armisen Is the Fifth Member of Weezer in New 'Carpool Karaoke'
Fred Armisen could totally pass as a member of Weezer. Serving as their comedic guide through the streets of Los Angeles on the latest episode of Carpool Karaoke? Even better.
The latest episode of the Apple TV series features Weezer -- with a new, hair-metal-inspired album and stadium tour on the horizon -- partnering with the actor/comedian/indie rock lifer on sing-along versions of some of their biggest hits. The new teaser clip starts off with Armisen and the band trying to get on the same page for "Buddy Holly" (songs without intros aren't too karaoke-friendly) before showing some footage of the gang singing "Can't Knock the Hustle" and a pair of prominent Weezer covers: TLC's "No Scrubs" and Toto's "Africa." Weezer performs the latter full-band-style on a flatbed trailer as onlookers try to make sense of what's going on.
