Will Forte says a spirit once warned him that he’d, um, be stabbed to death at the age of 73.

The actor, 54, shared the story on the latest episode of Rachel Dratch’s “Woo Woo” podcast. He told Dratch, a fellow Saturday Night Live alum, that when he was a teenager, he felt a supernatural presence while playing the Ouija board at the home of a girl he liked. 

“I would ask questions of this Ouija board that nobody else would know the answers to, and it would get the answers correct. And so I was pretty blown away,” Forte recalled. “I was thinking, like, is there a way that my hands are moving it because I know the answer? … I was trying not to push it all, but it was pretty nuts — like my grandma’s middle name, that kind of stuff.”

Forte, who had previously thought the Ouija was “so dumb,” said he “would be putting the spirit down, trying to get him really angry. I’m sure I told him he had a small penis or something like that.”

All humor aside, he said “it really did get kind of scary.”

Forte summoned the courage to ask the board for details on his future death.

“I found out that I was going to die at the age of 73 by stabbing,” he informed Dratch. “I’ve got 19 years left.”

Dratch called Forte’s Ouija experience “extreme” and expressed disbelief. Though Forte didn’t believe the prophecy either, it still crosses his mind from “time to time” that perhaps there was some truth to it. For instance, he said, “when I’m  72, when I’m nearing the end, do I, like, start looking into Kevlar, full-body Kevlar suits?”

While Dratch starred on SNL from 1999 to 2006, Forte joined the show in 2002 and departed in 2010. He was known for his MacGruber sketch and his “his “Ohhhhhhhh, Noooooooo!” guy as well as his George W. Bush and Lorne Michaels impressions. He went on to star in the 2013 drama Nebraska and the Fox comedy series The Last Man on Earth, which aired from 2015 to 2018. 

Forte later reprised his most famous character in another TV comedy, MacGruber, that debuted on Peacock in 2021. Earlier that year, Forte married business development executive Olivia Modling several months after they welcomed their daughter, Zoe, who’s now 3. (They have since welcomed a second daughter named Cecilia.)

The couple planned their wedding quickly amid the Covid pandemic.

“It was just a delightful day,” Forte told People afterward. “My parents were totally surprised. It was so stressful, the two weeks where we were planning. I can’t imagine having a year or more to stew over wedding plans.”
