It was further reported that Kristen Wiig will likely play a young Lucille Bluth via Exclusive: Here’s Who Kristen Wiig Will Be Playing on Arrested Development – Vulture

Former Saturday Night Live superstar Kristen Wiig is set to make an appearance in Netflix’s anticipated Arrested Development revival as a younger version of Jessica Walter’s boozy matriarch Lucille Bluth.

The article also lists a number of actors and celebrities set to guest star in the new season, including Conan O’Brien, Seth Rogan, and others.

Thoughts on Ms. Wiig’s addition to the show? She’s usually hilarious, and she definitely seems like a perfect fit for young Lucille, both in demeanor and appearance. My question is, will this just be a quick glimpse of young Lucille, or will we get to see a deeper look at one of the few AD characters whose past we haven’t seen much of so far? Feel free to discuss.

4. Moments
   1. Mike:
      1. Premier
         1. Love that Tobias’s catlike agility leads to him falling off the edge of the bed but never even changes the flow of what he was saying.
         2. Also, Michael claims to be Dr. Blueman, before any of the Blue Man Group stuff is introduced.
         3. Mention of the seal attack on the news
         4. I love that Barry holds “Dr. Hate’s” hand too long like George Senior did with T-Bone in the Pilot
      2. Ep. 2
         1. This is the start of the “Her?” jokes
         2. GOB sort of mutters under his breath that it sounded like his dad was in Portugal, “down the old South America way.”
         3. Hilarious that George Sr. is mistakenly arrested in Mexico for marijuana sales and tries to blame it on Oscar by saying, “It’s my brother-o.” None of them get “brother” in Spanish right.
         4. Director of Tom Jane’s junkie movie is the same director as Dangerous Cousins
         5. I love that GOB has been dating Starla throughout a few episodes but she still introduces him as “Gob” instead of “Jobe.”
      3. Ep. 3
         1. Love that Gene Parmesan’s fake nose is almost not at all different from his real nose
         2. Buster in the trunk escaping from Army: “It’s tired in here.”
         3. Also, Buster has a hand reference with the hand chair

         3. GOB coming up to Michael saying he’s looking for something and Michael says, “Looks like you’re looking for dragons…in the future.”
         4. Buster as the magician is hilarious. His dancing, and the “SILENCE, SLAVE!”
         5. I’ve used “How’d-He-Do-Dats” several times in normal life.
      6. Season Finale
         1. “Why can’t the girl at work do it?” Michael – “Who, Tobias?”

   1. $3000, $4000, $5000 “COME ON”…$6300 suit, $3600
   2. George stayed out of things with him and Michael’s First (and only) marriage. And she died, “see these things have a way of working themselves out”
   3. 2300 pants, “don’t want them getting their sticky fingers on my pants” oh, you think they’re going right for the pants do you? shoulda should should…shhhh
   4. Bleep humor about sexual harassment
   5. Everyone has no pitch in the episode: the bethlehem thing and then afternoon delight
   6. Love the scene when Oscar comes out with 5 brownies balancing on each other and sees lucille is gone and whispers, “where did she go?”

   7. i ain’t kissing that old bithes lips, thats my wife, that’s my wrist, that’s his neck!
5. The Righteous Brothers
   1. Movie-Dangerous Cousins? And how awkwardly GM talks about it and slams dresser drawer closed. “Complex erotocism”
   2. It ain’t easy being white, it ain’t easy being brown, all this pressure to be bright, i gots childrens all over town…where’d the guy go?
   3. I even have a sponsor, and he’s famous, i can’t tell you who it is…but lets just say he was on nightcourt, i can tell you who he’s not, bull, harry anderson and he’s white “i know who it is”
   4. and also, dad kissed me, how he seemed pretty unconscious, i didn’t say he was totally into it
   5. Washes franklin and he’s white, (british accent) “you’ve ruined the act, GOB”
   6. When no kiss, charlie brown music as gm walks away. previously had a sign saying “this is a tricky gray area” about cousins movie

1. Mike: On the overall season? I give it a Banner Love Season. Almost a “Banner Love Steve Holt!”, but I think having to cut the season from 22 to 18 episodes caused a few problems that, left at 22 episodes, would’ve had made it an all around Steve Holt!

After submitting a couple different phones, you begin to notice that the video is made up of parts, some of which get swapped out when your customization is unique in some way. He has different comments reacting to the color of the phone body, and he might change what he says depending on the category or number of tiles you add.

The Arrested Development reference comes when you customize a phone with Netflix on it. See one of my submissions here, starting at 1:17. Will says:

Yes. Netflix. I’ve heard good things… about one of the shows that’s gonna be on there… starring somebody’s favorite Canadian actor… and second-favorite Canadian actor, Michael Cera… Too much?

Background: Will Arnett is Canadian. Anyway, it’s a nice little reference. (The bear reference is a pun because Will sits on a swivel-bear.)

On a side note, this kind of character, the charming jerk, is one that Will is getting cast as a lot recently. I’m glad his character on “Up All Night” is a departure from that.
