MacGruber is a recurring sketch on the NBC television series Saturday Night Live, first appearing on the show in January 2007. The sketch stars Will Forte as special operations agent MacGruber, who is tasked in each episode with deactivating a ticking bomb but becomes distracted by personal issues, resulting in the bombs detonation and (presumably) the deaths of his companions and himself. The sketch is a parody of the 1985-1992 adventure series MacGyver.
MacGrubers popularity has led to a film based on the character (MacGruber (film)), which was released on May 21, 2010.
