Armisen got a call asking him to come to Brian Wilson's concert at the Rosemont Theatre, which Reverb was in town to cover. He was quickly hired to conduct straight interviews with acts that performed on Reverb , including Blondie, Run-D.M.C., and Shootyz Groove. Copies of the video were also making the rounds at HBO, and in September Armisen was invited to the company's New York offices. HBO has asked for 15 more sketches, and beginning next month they will be featured regularly. Armisen is moving to Los Angeles to be closer to the entertainment industry, but he says he'll be coming back to town regularly.
