Archer fans are headed for the danger zone this week when Kenny Loggins lends his voice to the series. In the Monday, March 3 episode, Archer decides to give Lana the perfect baby shower gift by forcing "K-Log" to sing a duet with Cherlene.
Loggins is a longtime fan of the show and was happy to guest star. “My oldest boy turned me on to
Archer right at the very beginning,” he told journalists. “Everybody was calling me going, ‘Have you seen
Archer’s referring to 'Danger Zone?’ Absolutely. We saw it right from the beginning.”
Loggins also said he had a ball making the episode, hinting that “I’m total badass in this episode and it’s fun." But he admits he wasn’t sure at first about singing with Cherlene.
“I didn’t believe that they could turn 'Danger Zone' into a country song,” he explained, “which makes it even funnier because that’s the last song of my repertoire that you’d expect to be turned into a country song.”
In a wide ranging interview, Loggins also talked about his music career and what it’s like to create an animated alter-ego. Read the complete transcript below.
Archer airs Monday nights at 10:00 p.m. on FX. Kenny and Cherlene’s duet of “Danger Zone” will be available March 3 with the release of
Archer’s 12-track album, titled
Cherlene.
