Watch: Will Forte Talks Up “The Great North” On CONAN

I love the fact that TBS has started posting full Conan interviews on the show’s Youtube channel, right on time for his retirement slated to happen in June 2021. Fortunately, we’re still getting good stuff and last night we got a chance to see The brilliant Will Forte who stopped by the show to talk all about his role as “Wolf Tobin” on the brand-new FOX series The Great North which is about half-way in premiering new episodes with the finale slated for mid-May.

For those that don’t know, Will’s character “Wolf” is Beef’s (voiced by Nick Offerman) oldest son who wants to make his father proud but is probably a tad more sensitive than his patriarch. That said, he is engaged to Honeybee Shaw (voiced by Dulce Sloan) who hails from California and is trying her best to fit in a small Alaska town.

A new episode of The Great North premieres this Sunday Night @ 830 pm ET/PT. In the episode entitled “Keep Beef-lievin’ Adventure”, when Moon begins to doubt the existence of Bigfoot, Beef enlists the family’s help to get him believing again. Also, Honeybee gets a surprise visitor from Fresno.

THE GREAT NORTH is a new animated comedy created, written and executive-produced by BOB’S BURGERS writers and executive producers Wendy Molyneux and Lizzie Molyneux-Logelin, as well as Minty Lewis (“Regular Show”).

The series follows the Alaskan adventures of the Tobin family, as a single dad, BEEF (Nick Offerman), does his best to keep his weird bunch of kids close – especially his only daughter, JUDY (Jenny Slate), whose artistic dreams lead her away from the family fishing boat and into the glamorous world of the local mall. Rounding out the family are Judy’s older brother, WOLF, (Will Forte) and his fiancé, HONEYBEE (Dulcé Sloan), middle brother HAM (Paul Rust) and 10-year-old-going-on-50 little brother, MOON (Aparna Nancherla). While their mother is not in the picture, Judy seeks guidance from her new boss, ALYSON (Megan Mullally), and her imaginary friend, ALANIS MORISSETTE (guest-voicing as herself), who appears to her in the Northern Lights.
