Will Arnett, fighting the good fight with Call of Duty

by Xav de Matos { Mar 1st 2008 at 1:00PM }

Actor-comedian Will Arnett was recently a guest on the ~~Late Show~~ Late Night with Conan O'Brien and described to Conan one of his favorite pastimes. "Call of Duty isn't going to play itself," Arnett told Conan explained as he tried to describe why he wouldn't want to die real life (who knows how that came up).

The short clip ends with a funny Xbox Live story that will ring as familiar for anyone who uses the online gaming service. Give it a watch. As for dying, we're with Arnett in thinking we'd rather not at this point, not at least until we find the respawn button for life.

I thought it was great. Nice find. Glad to see video games becoming more popular too.

jason sedakis was talking about it again last night.

I like the idea of incorporating some role playing into Call of Duty. Imagine CoD ARGs. "HAHA, I killed you fuckface! Go die Jew!"... Yeah, good times... Good times...

Will Arnett was HILARIOUS in Arrested Development (please, please make he movie!), but I haven't seen him funny since.

When does ever refer to it being on Live, maybe it was on PSN?

Jeramy @ Mar 1st 2008 4:58PM

umm, not to be a dick, but it's late night with conan o'brien. the late show is with david letterman.

The ps3 doesnt have a long ass headset mic like the 360 has.Just by him making the hand gesture i knew he was on the 360.If he was on the ps3 he would have a bluetooth headset and with his money a expensive one.

I want his gamertag..

@PS3 Fanboy: Yeah. Right, like the guy in the $3500 suit is going to be playing on the PSN. COME ON!

ok, seriously this screams PRODUCT PLACEMENT. The COD4 advertising agents paid Gob to talk about COD4. It's obvious because Conan was like on let's do this, and picked up on the comment.

90% of the time when someone on a talk show makes an odd ball "wedged in" comment and the interviewer jumps on it and starts "discussing" it it's a paid advertisement.

Sad, but true. The talk shows died for me after this start realization came to be. Now all I do when I watch these shows is look for the "plugs" they get paid every time they bring it up. Just like in Idiocracy :)

It's a fun, but sad game

check it out. He said even more about playing in this interview. http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/2008/02/29/2008-02-29_gobs_of_fun_with_will_arnett.html

Just as we suspected X3F nation, Arnett is down with the Xbox 360 version of Call of Duty 4.

Good find sir.

Will Arnett rules! Anyone who liked Arrested Development knows what Im talking about, Job was a great character. When they tell him he needs a business model to run the company and he gets an actual female model and carts her around the office, lmao.

Ahhh cant get enough of that show, sucks that it ended.He was also great in "lets go to prison" and ok in "blades of glory".

Nice to see hes playing the same games as myself, if he really does play them.
