Will Forte stars as "Phil Miller" in the brand new, off-beat comedy series, "The Last Man on Earth". So you guessed it, "Phil" is the last man on earth due to a virus that wiped out the world's population. It's a similar premise to the movie "I Am Legend", just without zombies or monsters. Unlike those serious / scary movies and TV shows about the end of the world; "The Last Man on Earth" is a silly, light-hearted comedy about being the only human left in the world and all the things you can do now. For instance, "Phil" picks a mansion in an affluent neighborhood in Tuscon, AZ. to move into Then he decorates it with classic art and million dollar paintings from museums, dinosaur bones from an exhibit, and the oval office Presidential rug from the White House. He makes a "margarita pool", a "toilet pool" and a "trash pool". He goes to grocery & liquor stores and gets whatever he wants as he makes his way down each aisle like a regular shopper. He eventually becomes lonely (of course) and drives around the country with a P.A. system looking for other survivors like himself and writing messages on billboards in hopes that someone else is alive and might see them. After a while, he starts to lose his mind like Tom Hanks does in "Castaway", but instead of talking to a volleyball, "Phil Miller" makes a dozen friends out of an assortment of sport balls, including a badminton ball..
Soon enough, he finds out he is NOT the only human alive and that actually complicates things further for "Phil". The next episode premieres tonight (Sunday) on FOX. This will only be the 5th episode, so this show just got started and it's a totally original comedy series with endless possibilities. It's not too late to start watching NOW!
