Why is Will Arnett leaving 'LEGO Masters'?
Fox hasn't given any concrete reason as to why Will Arnett will no longer work as the host of LEGO Masters. TV Insider believes that the actor's busy schedule is the reason behind his departure, with Will set to appear in several upcoming movies and television series. The actor is currently set to star in Is This Thing On?, the next movie directed by Bradley Cooper. Laura Dern and Amy Sedaris will also be seen in the project.
Beyond his role in the upcoming movie, Will Arnett will continue to be heard as Needles in Twisted Metal, Peacock's acclaimed video game adaptation. The actor established himself as a comedic powerhouse thanks to his roles in Arrested Development and BoJack Horseman.
As Gob Bluth, Will stole plenty of the scenes he shared with performers such as Jason Bateman and the late Jessica Walter. Decades after that show first appeared on television, Will continues to show the world why his comedic talents have remained relevant for so long.
How does somebody win in 'LEGO Masters'?
Every season of LEGO Masters presents the contestants with new challenges they have to overcome. The teams of competitors are selected and given a theme to work with for their LEGO creations. The Brickmasters, the professional judges who determine who takes home the prize, are then sent to evaluate what the teams came up with. The winners of the competition take home a LEGO trophy and a $100,000 cash prize.
The fourth season of LEGO Masters featured 12 teams attempting to prove that they were the best builders on the show. After several episodes of heated competition, business partners Christopher and Robert were declared the winners of the season.
An additional reward was announced for the fourth season of the show. Christopher and Robert's creation, a plane called the "World Wonderliner," was turned into a real LEGO set. Even if Will Arnett will no longer be the host of LEGO Masters, the magic that made the show special will remain on the screen.
