First Look - Paul Simon to Star on Season Finale of IFC's PORTLANDIA
By: Caryn Robbins
Today, Billboard exclusively premieres a clip from the Season 5 finale of IFC's PORTLANDIA, featuring music legend Paul Simon.
In the clip, "Portlandia stars Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein hijack a fan Q&A with Paul Simon to ask a lengthy, pointless question that's more about them than him. This scene is for every time in life you've witnessed a question from the audience that doesn't actually include a question." The season finale of PORTLANDIA airs on Thursday, March 5 at 10 p.m. ET on IFC.Over the past five seasons, PORTLANDIA has expanded our knowledge of the peculiar characters of America's damp northwest. As we've come to know and love them-Malcolm and Kris with their helicopter parenting, Toni and Candace with their overzealous dedication to a cause, Bryce and Lisa with their taxidermy and pickling, or Doug and Claire's binge-watching-their idiosyncrasies have evolved from niche to normal.
Portlandia has seen some of the biggest names in movies, music and television pass through its city. In addition to recurring appearances by Vanessa Bayer, Ed Begley Jr., Steve Buscemi, Jeff Goldblum, Kyle MacLachlan, Kumail Nanjiani, Jason Sudeikis, Gus Van Sant and Olivia Wilde, guest stars over the past five seasons have included Roseanne Barr, Vanessa Bayer, Selma Blair, Rose Byrne, Kirsten Dunst, Shepard Fairey, Greta Gerwig,Heather Graham, Matt Groening, Oscar the Grouch, Anna Gunn, Bill Hader, k.d. lang, Juliette Lewis, Justin Long,Jane Lynch, Natasha Lyonne, Aimee Mann, Penny Marshall, Sarah McLachlan, Seth Meyers, Bobby Moynihan,Martina Navratilova, Patton Oswalt, Aubrey Plaza, Parker Posey, Paul Reubens, Tim Robbins, Maya Rudolph,Andy Samberg, Paul Simon, Amber Tamblyn, Eddie Vedder, Kristen Wiig and many more.Photo: Augusta Quirk/IFC
