WTFreddy? Fred Armisen Shows Up To Emmys Wearing Freddy Krueger Hand—Find Out Why!

Fred Armisen picked a bizarre accessory for the 2015 Emmys red carpet: Freddy Krueger gloves!

While this is seems totally confusing, the Portlandia star opened up on Late Night with Seth Meyers about a 5k he organized for charity, which he said was to send Freddy Krueger gloves to children around the world.

“Not every kid has them,” he said. It turns out Fred really took this joke seriously—and even wore a matching red and green tie!

Or perhaps he was paying homage to filmmaker and director Wes Craven, who tragically passed in late August.
