We found the mayor, and he's joining us in the studio. Kyle MacLachlan exemplifies everything great about the Pacific Northwest. A brilliant performer, with an eclectic set of hobbies, and gentle humor and charm that ensnared all of us at Podlandia. Kyle discusses how he came to Portlandia, which famous actor-turned-singer inspired his Portland theme song, and whether David Lynch was a fan of the series.

Did you hear the mayor is missing? It's another packed episode for Fred, and it's one of Carrie's favorite episodes of season one. This episode is packed with superstar guests.

Kumail Nanjiani makes his series debut and delivers a performance so hilarious he would eventually become one of the most revisited guest stars in the series' history. We've also got Edie McClurg of Planes, Trains, and Automobiles and Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
