Horatio Sanz and Fred Armisen Launch Latino-Focused Comedy Channel (You Can Watch It Even If You Don’t Speak Spanish!)

Fred Armisen in “Toy Collectors #1.”

Lorne Michaels launched the careers of Fred Armisen and Horatio Sanz, and now Michaels, Armisen, and Sanz want to do the same thing for you — as long as you are a Latino writer or comedian who has enough experience in the industry not to have to pitch unsolicited material to their new venture, Más Mejor, an internet studio the trio launched in the hopes of cultivating Latino talent. The project’s current roster includes The Office’s Oscar Nuñez and Reno 911’s Carlos Alazraqui, and the sketch group Room 28, plus comedians like Fabrizio CopanoSofia Gonzalez, and Melissa Villaseñor. The channel launched on Wednesday with a handful of videos, including a Documentary Now!–style genre spoof from Armisen and Sanz, and an obligatory Donald Trump punchfest. You can watch them all abajo.
