Portlandia fans are undoubtedly awaiting the fourth season. Although we still have to wait until Feb. 27, we have a sneak peek at some footage. This preview is from the fourth episode of the upcoming season, and we see middle-aged couple Malcolm (Fred Armisen) and Kris (Carrie Brownstein), who also appeared in season 3′s "Fart Patio" and season 2′s "Firepit." Now they are attending a Prairie Home Companion tailgate party.

Garrison Keillor and NPR would be so proud...

The Prairie Home Companion bit pays tribute those who love everything Minnesota and rhubarb pie related, kind of, and it has apparently been split off to create a separate web series by the Portlandia crew, according to Entertainment Weekly. Armisen and Brownstein are clearly in tune with how to channel the particular nature of a region - or just an NPR fanbase.

In the clip we see Malcolm and Kris gathered around with friends, enjoying a pleasantly unconventional tailgate that gets a little rowdy. Also take a look at the clip from the continued Prairie Home Companion videos. There's a streaker. Just know that.

Celebrity guests joining Armisen and Brownstein this season include Kirsten Dunst, Maya Rudolph, Olivia Wilde, Vanessa Bayer, k.d. Lang, and Wilco's Jeff Tweedy, while Steve Buscemi, Jason Sudekis, Kyle MacLachlan and Jeff Goldblum are among the returning faces.
