Will Arnett OF ‘LEGO MASTERS’ ON FOX

If someone on the show wanted to blow you away, what would they do?

I’m always impressed when teams build for not just strength but also for design and for aesthetic. But when they can build a build that’s really strong. Anytime we have a challenge that requires them to build out from a wall and they only have a couple of studs connection, I find that to be super-impressive. We’ve had it a few times where the teams only have six or eight or 10 studs that can connect something to a wall and then they have to build for strength, I always find that crazy impressive.

You know, our first season we had a great challenge where one of the teams had to build these bridges. It was amazing to see how strong they could build them. And this year, you know, we have two challenges that are pretty cool, one that involves the use of water that was pretty wild to see because it’s not something you see a lot with LEGO. And watching the teams figure that out – really cool.

As someone with a background in improv comedy, does hosting this show help keep those muscles limber?

Well, yeah. I mean, we’re lucky that we always have a great idea of where we want to go and certain things that we have to do when it comes to the challenges and the tenor, but so much of it is unscripted. And so I’m kind of forced to really just be on my feet talking to these people, these builders and the brickmasters for that matter, because this is a reality competition show so stuff is just happening in real time. And so things are always just kind of happening and we adjust and we talk and people are upset or they’re laughing or they’re having a great time. And so it is a form of improv kind of all day every day that I’m on set.
