Exclusive: We ask H. Jon Benjamin about his favorite season finales ahead of Archer Season Six Finale
Jon Benjamin’s a rather busy guy. He just wrapped a Bob’s Burgers Live! tour, and tonight, the six season finale for FX’s Archer will commence and as a result Jon was nice enough to take part in a conference call in which he answered a couple of questions for us. For starters….
On what is Jon Benjamin’s favorite television season finale:
Oh, from any TV show? From any TV show? I sometimes I like to say St. Elsewhere just because it’s so— but I didn’t really like it. But I think I ironically started to like it and then I talked about—and I use I use it as a reference all the time.
If I’m in any situation where I’m talking about a TV finale, that the whole thing was a— as I remember it, a, St. Elsewhere was a hospital building in a snow globe. And the whole thing was a dream of a boy with mental disabilities. I just thought that was pretty good. So I have to say, I’m dating myself, St. Elsewhere. But let’s face it, we’re all going to die.
And on what is Jon Benjamin’s favorite Archer season finale:
Oh, wow. I liked the Sealab one. But I think probably my favorite would have been “Archer Vice”, where it wrapped up that whole season arc. I thought that was really smart, and I didn’t know what was coming until I read the script. That was cool to figure out why the whole thing was a sideways plot by Malory; which makes total sense considering her character. So I liked that a lot, so I’ll say that one.
Archer’s sixth season premiers tonight @ 10 pm ET/PT on FX Networks, check your local listings.
"There are also other characters that come and go (also owned by the Warner Bros. Discovery conglomerate media company)."
Huh. Is that just referring to other characters from the show itself, or is this implying that the new season is going to have cameos from other WBD IPs
