There’s probably nobody better to direct and write a movie like The Naked Gun reboot than Akiva Schaffer. He has a resume full of brilliant, dumb, joke-a-minute work. Together with Andy Samberg and Jorma Taccone he is a member of the comedy trio The Lonely Island.

Akiva Schaffer on why the bonkers snowman scene was important, fighting it being cut from the movie, and how he was supposed to come back at the end.

The co-writer/director says friends like Andy Samberg told him, "Do not let them cut it." The Naked Gun co-writer/director Akiva Schaffer knew he struck gold with the wild snowman montage in his movie starring Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson.
