Jalopnik
While hanging out at the Audi Forum event last night we bumped into our fair share of celebrities, including the cast of some show called Gossip Girl that the kids seem to enjoy. It was one of those events. But then one half of America's favorite comedy power couple, Will Arnett, arrived. We have an awkward almost man crush on the man who was to voice KITT and then, all of a sudden, wasn't. We talked with him for a while about his unfortunate departure from Knight Rider and then he expressed his enjoyment of Jalopnik!
That's right Jalopniks, Will Arnett is among your ranks. Not only that, he's voting El Camino and we're pretty sure, as the voice of GMC Trucks, that he's a superdelegate. Somebody pinch us.

Amazing!
For those who love this guy, check out this vid if you haven't already. NSFW BTW.

Oh yeah right, like the guy who's the voice of GMC trucks would ever not vote El Camino? COME ON!
I heard he drives a H2 with a Prius body on top of it. It gets even WORSE gas mileage than normal.
"his unfortunate departure from Knight Rider"
Unfortunate for whom? I'd say he's pretty fortunate to have found an escape clause from that miserable excuse of a Ford infomercial!
Voting El Camino, that's a good Canadian lad!
Will is a talented guy, as is Mr. Kilmer, but William Daniels is a tough act to follow. "Michael, I think we've been replaced".
@POLAЯ HEAЯS TEH CЯICKETS: I second, he would have carried that whole cast.
I am also putting my support behind El Camino. Lets hope the "super-delegates" are on our side.
Don't romantic fist attachment me, bro!
He's learned how to take care of hop-ons, he should have no problem with this.
Still, I'm waiting on someone to make a "I've made a huge mistake" quip.
@POLAЯ HEAЯS TEH CЯICKETS:
I'm gonna babysit your vagina!
Was the Franklin puppet there?
Will Arnett is awesome....and this just further proves it!
I'm making a bold prediction: I'll get through all my Arrested Development DVDs (again) over this long weekend :)
@Dr.Danger: Oh Noes!
Poor Ford, now I'm sure Toby Keith will be replaced by Don Imus.
@pjsammy: Long weekend? wtf? I have to work tomorrow!
At least next week y'all will continue to be cubicle monkeys while I'm on vacation.
The new Fox owned site Hulu.com has all Arrested development episodes online for free. I watched two last night. Good stuff Will
@racerx: I've seen it before but that video is awesome.
Why wouldn't the guy in the $4000 suit vote El Camino? Come on!
Will Arnett is in desperate need of a movie role where he does not play a colossal asshole. Also, his wife is SNL's Amy Poehler. These are facts.
I want to do donuts around people on Segways in my brand new El Camino while blasting "Final Countdown" out the stereo. I'll have a bowie knife in my teeth and a fist full of cards out the window.
Crap, now I have "The Final Countdown" stuck in my head.
Later in the day, Arnett was told he'd just been speaking with Jalopnik, not Autoblog, as he'd previously thought.
"I've made a huge mistake."
@halfshaft: Hey! Canadians do the colossal asshole thing well!
Take me for example!
Although the fact that I'm not acting probably doesn't help my case much...
I really wish Arrested would make a TV comeback similar to Family Guy.
G.O.B is an all time character great.
@halfshaft:
But he excels at those roles!
@POLAЯ HEAЯS TEH CЯICKETS:
We also excel at rolling up the rim to lose, but i digress.
I can taste the happy.
Yeah, like the guy wearing the $5,000 suit isn't going to vote ElCamino. Come on!
@anonymousryan: It tastes a lot like sad.
@Teds: You have just made my day. Now I will always have something to do in the airport.
OK, so shall we guess which username is his then? If he doesn't have one, we must get him one immediately.
That Will Arnett guy makes me giggle. He plays a good A-hole too. Reminds me of myself a bit.
@POLAЯ HEAЯS TEH CЯICKETS: How do you Canadian colossal assholes all manage to be so loveable, anyway?
All the American colossal assholes are just assholes.
I hope he doesn't read it on IE...
We need to find a Hoon Of The Day with a Segway.
@Unregular: Good point, it might read something like this:
something..something..Will Arnett
something..something..colossal asshole
something..something..illusion
We're so loveable because of:
- Our floppy heads
- Uncanny ability to hum the theme to "Hockey Night In Canada" at any time
- Inclusion of the letter "u" in some words to add flavoUr
- Inability to understand American humour, hence why we have the CBC
- We smell like Maple Syrup
- The totally nude "gentlemens clubs"
- The Pontiac Firefly and other such Canadian only models.
- It's always snowing here.
And finally, the fact that our beer will paralyze any American college student after one visit to Windsor's Bar scene.
Well it looks like the Arrested Development movie might be more then just a rumor of hope...

ohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygod
Will Arnett reads Jalopnik... Arrested Development is coming back.... this is the best day ever!!!!
@lascauxcaveman: despite what Polar thinks, he is not a Bigger Asshole than Me. I, my friends am the reason people started using such adjectives as BIG, in front of the word Asshole.
I'm a colossal asshole and I'm OK
I sleep all night and I comment all day
(He's a colossal asshole and he's OK
He sleeps all night and he comments all day)
I comment on Jalop , I eat my lunch
I go to the lavat'ry
On Wednesdays I go shopping
And have buttered scones for tea
(He comments on Jalop...)
(He's a colossal asshole...)
I comment on Jalop, I skip and jump
I love to press wild flow'rs
I put on colossal asshole clothing
And hang around in bars
(He comments on Jalop...)
(He's a colossal asshole...)
I comment on Jalop, I wear high heels
Suspenders and a pink shirt
I wish I could be a Jalop
Just like my dear Ray Wert
(He cuts down trees...)
(He's a colossal asshole...)
@frank_rizzo: W0000000000000t!!!!
Also: G8 El Camino is a solid name choice. Solid as a rock, in fact.
@sliderule: Color me impressed, my friend. I always wonder how that particular linguistic tradition originated.
Will is the only guy cool enough to be seen driving a G8 ElCamino. They should just give one to him.
@JALOPOLAЯ:
He's Jalopolar and he's O K
If you bolt a little red wagon (think Radio Flyer, not Vista Cruiser) to the back of a Segway, does that make it an "El Segamino"? (sounds like a Mexican porn star's name, eh?)
Arnett is the man.
When A.D. was canceled I went out to the car and sat in the parking lot and cried quietly to myself. Er, um...I mean cranked up the Winger and pirouetted the anger out...I mean, ah...I killed and animal and ate it RAW! YEAH! Freebird, WOOOOO!
Remember, at Ford, "Quality is G.O.B 1".
Who is it. . . someone obnoxious, talented, funny, attractive. . .I shall be the first to accuse Polar!!! of BEING WILL ARNET!!! WTF-LOLZ-OMG!?!?!?!?!?!
AHHHHH!!
@cyclopticgaze: That my friend seems like something Mr. Arnnet would say...
george bush doesn't care about black puppets.
/hijack
He should launch a show about KARR, KITT's archnemesis. Where KARR will be no other than an El Camino. That would beat the cr@p out of NBC's now crappy (and hopefully defunct) Knight Rider.
"...but where did the LIGHTER FLUID come from?"
And my personal favorite:
"COCKACOCKACOCKA CAW!! COCKA CAW!"
