There really is a booming business in dubbing U.S. shows for foreign language-markets, but despite Kristen Wiig's insistence on Thursday's Late Night, she and Fred Armisen probably aren't part of it. The premise of this bit is that Wiig dubs Seth Meyers' voice on Late Night and, when he has a guest, Armisen does the guest.
