Paul Simon Appears on IFC's Portlandia

In a special cameo appearance on the Friday, March 6 episode of Portlandia, Simon played himself onstage as part of a Q&A session to promote his memoir Just Call Me Paul. As his ultra-annoying character Dave—played alongside Carrie Brownstein‘s Kath, as “Kath and Dave”—Armisen attempts to impress Simon with his knowledge of folk music, while also showing they are totally simpatico, but he fails miserably. A confused and irritated Simon tries to move on and save everyone more embarrassment, but Dave won’t let it die.

The resulting bit is awkward and hilarious. Watch the clip below!
