“Ferrets? What do you mean, they’re ferrets?”

Former Saturday Night Live cast members Seth Meyers, Fred Armisen and Bill Hader are making TV together again. Tonight their new show, Documentary Now!, which features fake documentaries satirizing some of the most famous nonfiction films, premiers on IFC.

To sell the faux-class and seriousness of what’s about to unfold, it’s presented as a golden anniversary show of the best documentary films hosted by none other than Oscar-winner Helen Mirren.

“We really wanted someone who had gravitas, but also a sort of winking humor,” says Seth Meyers a co-writer of the series. The Late Night host leaves the acting onDocumentary Now! to Hader, most recently seen in the movie Trainwreck, and Armisen, Meyers’ Late Night bandleader and star of another IFC show, Portlandia.
