Jorma Taccone joined Seth Meyers on Tuesday night with a few updates from the “MacGruber”-verse. Neither was totally sincere; both were humorous.
First, at a DGA dinner, former “Saturday Night Live” writer Taccone approached fellow director and “MacGruber” superfan Christopher Nolan (“Tenet,” “Inception,” “Interstellar,” “Memento,” “Dunkirk,” the good “Batman” films and other serious movies) with a plan.
“We’re thinking about doing this sequel pretty soon, and what do you think about me putting– when the director title comes up, it just says ‘Christopher Nolan’ with an asterisk,” Taccone told Meyers. “And then after the movie, another asterisk — like a footnote comes up — and says who really directed the movie.”
