I’ve heard rumors of this, but this week SNL star Will Forte confirmed that not only is a movie version of his popular “MacGruber” sketch happening, he’s already finished writing it. Forte appeared on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon and was introed with a Saturday Night Live “MacGruber” clip and to the tune of the “MacGruber” theme song.

Fallon wasted no time in asking whether there’d be a “MacGruber” movie and Forte confirmed, “John Solomon, Jorma Taccone, and I just finished writing it. We’re gonna make it in Albuquerque. It’s me and Kirsten Wiig and cast to be determined.”

It’s been at least 10 years since the “The Ladies Man” came out, so Lorne Michaels must be itching to bring another hit SNL skit to the big screen. In case you’ve missed out on the genius that is MacGruber, I’ve include a few of his best moments below:
