Will Arnett hopes he learned nothing about being a parent from Arrested Development

Funnyman Will Arnett, 37, got plenty of practice being a part of a family — albeit a dysfunctional one — with his role in Arrested Development, but he’s hoping that his parenting advice won’t be coming from any lessons he learned from his on-screen family!  When he was asked if he had learned anything over the years from a parenting perspective from the show, Will quickly answered,

I hope not!

Will, who’s expecting his first child in late fall with wife, actress Amy Poehler, 36, is "really excited about becoming a father" and Amy even has some names picked out!

I’m just going to name my kids numbers.  New Dude, Little Dude, Old Dude, and Eight: George Foreman.

Will and Amy have been married since 2003.

I absolutely love this couple! I wonder if it’s a girl, maybe “Little Dudette”?

I love Arrested Development and Arnett and Poehler, but that question about parenting skills was stupid. The show was about a dysfunctional family with messed-up kids and self-absorbed parents. It stands to reason that it would not be a source for good parenting. It’s like saying, “You played Norman Bates. Did that role teach you how to get along well with women?” LOL
