Fred Armisen is The Spoiler Alert Guy - VIDEO

When you have a TV web site, you can be accused of spoiling what is going to happen on readers' favorite shows. Even if you post a spoiler alert warning at the start or talk about a plot point three days after it has aired, you can get comments that you shouldn't have posted the story because some people haven't seen the episode yet (why this is true even days after the episode airs I don't understand, but I digress...). Now fans have their own TV guy to champion their cause.On last night's Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Saturday Night Live's Fred Armisen, playing an audience member, interrupted Fallon's desk talk to point out that what Fallon was about to reveal about Lost and Celebrity Apprentice was a "spoiler." He also objected when Fallon started to talk about an old episode of Home Improvement he saw on Nick at Nite this week. Full video after the jump.
