In all honesty, Forte was asking for it a bit by being mean to the ghost.
Will Forte is a man who likes to tempt fate. In the latest episode of Fellow Saturday evening live alum Rachel Dratch‘S Wow Wow podcastForte remembers asking at a Ouija board as a teenager when and how he would die.
According to the spirits of the afterlife, Forte, now 54, has up to 73 years, at which age he will be stabbed to death. Or will he?

Forte admitted that at age 16 or 17, he was a bit of a pain in the ass when he thought Ouija was “so stupid.” He was interested in a girl at the time and went to her house, where he met a self-proclaimed witch. When they took out the board and started asking questions, Forte realized that something strange was indeed going on.
“I would ask questions to this Ouija board that no one else would know the answers to, and the answers would be correct. And so I was quite impressed,” said the Last man on earth said star. “I thought, is there a way my hands can move it because I know the answer? … I tried not to force it all, but it was pretty crazy — like my grandma’s middle name, that kind of thing.” stuff.”

Forte noted that some of the ghosts they encountered were “quite aggressive and violent,” so the witch had warned them to be careful. So what does teen Will Forte do?
“I would bring the ghost down, trying to make him really angry,” said the man formerly known as MacGruber. “I’m sure I told him he had a small penis or something.”
He added: “But it really got a bit scary.”
Forte, still skeptical, had the nerve to ask the Ouija board when and how he would die.
“I found out at the age of 73 that I was going to die from a stabbing,” he told a disbelieving Dratch. “I have 19 years left.”

Dratch thought this sounded “extreme” and said she didn’t believe it, and neither did Forte… to that extent, though he admits that “occasionally” when he tells this story he wonders “if I ’72, as I get closer to the end, will I start looking at Kevlar, full Kevlar suits?”

But there is good news on the spiritual front. At the end of each episode, Dratch and her cohost Irene Bremis have their guest ask their pendulum a yes or no question. When Forte asked if he would actually die from a stabbing at age 73, the pendulum said no, negating the Ouija board. Or something along those lines.
Anyway, the moral of the story is: don’t mock a ghost’s dick. Which should actually be self-evident.
