Forte was “a laid-back teen with a lot of friends” and a member of the varsity football and swim teams at Acalanes High School, from which he graduated in 1988. He was voted “Best Personality” by his graduating class and served as freshman class president. He had no ambitions for a television or film career, though his mother noticed a “creative streak” in him. Following high school, he attended the University of California, Los Angeles. He was a member of the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity and completed a degree in history. Planning to follow his father, he became a financial broker at Smith Barney Shearson in Beverly Hills, but felt “miserable” during his time there. He started writing while he was at Shearson, and he co-wrote a feature-length script. On the subject of writing, Forte remarked, “I discovered that I loved it more than anything I had ever done in my life.” He had been encouraged to attempt comedy during his years at university, and he decided to change his career to become a writer-performer.

Forte returned to Los Angeles and began performing with the Groundlings’ Main Company, with Cheryl Hines, Jim Rash and Maya Rudolph. He tried stand-up comedy three times, mostly at open mic nights, but quit after being voted into the Main Company. He joined the writing teams of two failed sitcoms, including The Army Show and Action. Forte got jobs writing for 3rd Rock from the Sun and That ’70s Show, two successful programs. He loved writing but had mostly given up on acting, aside from acting with the Groundlings. While performing with the troupe in 2001, he was spotted by Lorne Michaels, the creator of Saturday Night Live (SNL). Forte felt his confidence was higher than usual, as That ’70s Show had been picked up for two more years. He was invited to audition for SNL, which he regarded as unexpected.

After Will Ferrell left Saturday Night Live the following spring, Forte joined the cast, premiering at the beginning of the show’s twenty-eighth season in the fall. He was promoted to repertory player after his first year. His early years on the program were characterized by stage fright and an inability to properly interpret sketches that he did not write himself. He had to “re-learn” how to perform after years as a writer, and later felt his natural tendency to “overthink” things improved his performance. He was particularly uncomfortable portraying President George W. Bush, as he felt he was not the best impressionist and it paled in comparison to Ferrell’s impersonation of Bush. His only role was often Bush, leaving him no chance for more “absurd” pieces he favored. He was nearly fired from the program following his third season (2004–05), but after two three-week extensions to decide his fate, he was brought back. Forte estimated it took five seasons for him to feel fully comfortable performing on the show. In 2004, he made his film debut in Around the World in 80 Days.

Forte’s best-known character on SNL was MacGruber, a special operations agent who is tasked in each episode with deactivating a ticking bomb but becomes distracted by personal issues. The sketches were based on the television series MacGyver. It was created by writer Jorma Taccone, who pitched the idea relentlessly to Forte. He was initially reluctant to commit to the sketch, deeming it too dumb, but accepted after persuasion from Taccone. The first sketch aired in January 2007, and led to multiple more segments in the following years. In 2009, the sketches were spun off into a series of commercials sponsored by Pepsi premiering during Super Bowl XLIII that featured the actor behind MacGyver, Richard Dean Anderson, as MacGruber’s father. The advertisements led the character and sketches to receive a wider level of popularity. Following the success of the advertisements, creator Lorne Michaels approached Forte, Taccone, and writer John Solomon with the idea to produce a MacGruber film.

Forte’s humor at SNL has been described as bizarre, and he became known for many “10-to-1” sketches: pieces deemed too odd that air at the bottom of the show, preceding its conclusion. Among these were a sketch titled “Potato Chip”, in which Forte plays an NASA recruiter that warns a candidate (Jason Sudeikis) not to touch a bowl of potato chips on his desk, or his turn as Jeff Montgomery, a sex offender posing as one for Halloween. He was also well known for his characters Tim Calhoun, Greg Stink, and the Falconer. Forte’s favorite sketch on the show was one in which he played a motivational coach alongside football star Peyton Manning. He also co-starred with Andy Samberg in the first SNL Digital Short, “Lettuce”. He often spent long hours crafting his sketches for the program, passing deadlines, but his pieces were often greeted warmly at table reads. During his time at the show, he costarred in and wrote the 2007 film The Brothers Solomon. The film was originally a pilot for Carsey-Werner, and its creation was an extension of his agreement to terminate his contract to appear on SNL.

He soon found he favored writing best, and worked as a writer on That ’70s Show prior to auditioning for Saturday Night Live. He joined SNL in 2002, spending eight years as a cast member on the show, where he performed offbeat sketches. His most famous recurring SNL character led to a feature film adaptation, MacGruber (2010), that preceded his departure from the program. Forte took various roles in comedy films, before starring in the drama film Nebraska (2013). Forte created, wrote and starred in the television sitcom, The Last Man on Earth, which aired on Fox from 2015 to 2018. For this series, he received three Primetime Emmy Awards nominations: two for acting and one for writing.

Forte left Saturday Night Live shortly before the beginning of the show’s thirty-sixth season in 2010. He felt it the “right time to go,” considering his eight-year tenure there, his expansion into film with MacGruber, and his age. In addition, his sister had just had kids and he wanted to move to the West Coast to be closer to them. He soon regretted the decision, calling the following year an “emotionally trying period,” as he felt “devastated” that he would no longer be on the program. He assumed his shot at a film career was ruined, and he imagined that if acting did not work out, he would return to writing primarily. Following this, he entered what he has called a “lost period” and had small supporting roles, such as Rock of Ages, That’s My Boy and The Watch, all of which were not successful. The only commercial successful film he worked on was Grown Ups 2, where he made a cameo as a male cheerleader. He also took a role as Paul L’Astname, the cross-dressing boyfriend of Jenna Maroney on the critically acclaimed sitcom 30 Rock.
