Everywhere that Fred Armisen goes these days feels like its own “Portlandia.” Several months ago, Armisen, the comedian and bandleader on NBC’s “Late Night With Seth Meyers,” was in Bogotá, Colombia, working on his (other) other TV series, “Documentary Now!,” where he marveled at a restaurant so hip that it simply hung a bicycle over its storefront instead of a sign.

“I’m drawn to those things,” Armisen said one morning in December, over breakfast near NBC’s Rockefeller Center headquarters.

“Even at the airport, if there’s a rustic-looking coffee shop with a chalkboard, I’m there, ordering a little salmon thing,” he said. “I’m a real sucker for it.”

It’s the kind of so-cool-it’s-ridiculous culture that Armisen, 50, satirizes on “Portlandia,” the IFC sketch comedy series he created with Carrie Brownstein and Jonathan Krisel, and on which he and Brownstein play the comically fashionable denizens of a city that’s a lot like Portland. In the new season, “Portlandia” welcomes celebrity visitors like Abbi Jacobson and the hip-hop duo Run the Jewels; the show also takes satirical aim at the so-called men’s rights movement with a music video called “What About Men?”

For Armisen, “Portlandia” lets him scratch a very different itch than on “Documentary Now!” (where he and his fellow “Saturday Night Live” alumni Meyers and Bill Hader parody nonfiction films) or “Late Night” (where he plays sidekick and foil to the host). He spoke about how much longer “Portlandia” might continue. These are edited excerpts from the conversation.

Q: You work on three different comedy shows. Does it ever get stressful?

A: I’m a little frenzied about it. I will admit that I purposely stress myself out. But I think I like stressing myself out. There’s a glamour to, like, “I’ve (got) to get to the airport!” I just like the caricature. And then in the end, it all works itself out.

Q: You don’t seem like a stressed person. Or am I missing something?

A: It’s not a deep stress. It’s not a life-or-death stress. What it looks like is me looking at my watch, writing a terse email that says, “But I said I can’t be there on Friday.”

Q: One of the big set pieces on “Portlandia” this season is a musical number called “What About Men?” Is that the show’s response to the events of 2016?

A: When we were writing in the spring and summer, we were laughing about how, even in the entertainment field, it felt like it was a little bit uncool to be a guy. (mock dismay) “What ever happened to men?” We wanted to do a history of men, so we did it in the lyrics of a song. It doesn’t come from a sympathetic place at all. And the election put a different layer on top of that.

Q: Do you try to address broader trends on “Portlandia,” rather than day-to-day news?

A: That’s our hope. Because we’re not “SNL,” and we’re not a late-night talk show, we don’t have the luxury of making it too disposable. There has to be some vagueness to it so it can have some shelf life.

Q: When you see “SNL” do a sketch like “The Bubble,” about people taking refuge in Brooklyn to avoid the results of the presidential election, do you think, that could have been ours?

A: “The Bubble” could have been Portland. But the way I’ve come to peace with that is, like, well, that’s happened in music, too. I’m sure in the late ’60s every band was like, “We love the blues!” Or using the sitar. I’m all for it.

Q: You film “Portlandia” in Portland, but you write it in Los Angeles. Can you still remain in a Portland frame of mind in L.A.?

A: Yeah, because the culture is so similar. (In Los Angeles,) we’re in an area called Frogtown, which is near Silver Lake. It’s an industrial area that’s already starting to turn. Little shops are opening up everywhere. I will say, Carrie and Jon and all the writers, they really shape things in a way that I’m not quite able to. My ideas are more abstract. I don’t have endings for things.

Q: So if you walk into the room and say, “I have an idea. You figure out how to execute it”?

A: They go, “That’s not enough.” It’s not a room of, like, “Whatever you want to do.” And I’m glad for that. They save me from myself.

Q: You’ve said that the 2018 season of “Portlandia” will be its last. Are you sure?

A: We love the show, but we don’t want it to go off the rails. We want to have some control over it. Like “Parks and Recreation” did, or “The Office.” They have a beginning and an ending. I don’t like watching shows where all of a sudden you’re like, what happened? They shot the last season in Las Vegas? I’m just going to say, you never know.
