Will Ferrell Sunscreen Benefitting Cancer Charity: Cancer For College
Posted on 01. Jun, 2009 by CSS.
Will Ferrell has launched his own line of sunscreen with all proceeds benefitting a charity for cancer survivors.
The Anchorman actor is lending his face to three new sunblock products — Sun Stroke, Sexy Hot Tan, and Forbidden Fruit — created for charity.
“The bottle says it all. I’ve always dreamed of owning a lotion company. And I’ve always hated cancer,” Ferrell said in a statement Thursday. “Honestly, I’m proud to be associated with such a great charity. I’ve watched Craig and Cancer For College help hundreds of cancer survivors realize their dream of a college education. The stories are so inspirational. I’m just happy to help any way I can.”
All profits from sales of the lotions will benefit the charity Cancer for College’s Willpowered Scholarship Fund.

Saturday Night Live opening Sketch was Will Ferrell repriving his role as former President George Bush:
Check out Will Ferrell’s opening monologue:
One of my favorite sketches of the evening was the Lawrence Welk bit, Kristen Wiig plays that character perfectly:
The Funeral sketch had some good laughs with Will Ferrell playing Graham the stand-up comedian crashing the service:
I was so glad they revived the Jeopardy sketch- however the Sean Connery jokes fell a little flat and I would have rathered Burt Reynolds been in the whole sketch instead of Kathie Lee- that Kathie character is too hard to watch:
Will Ferrell also brought back classic character Harey Carey:

Will Ferrell To Play President George W. Bush On Broadway.
Posted on 08. Jan, 2009 by CSS.
Shortly after Will Ferrell left Saturday Night Live, and a several months after the Iraq War started, I read an interview with Ferrell that has always stuck with me. Ferrell was taking about how much he missed SNL and being able to spoof the president on a weekly basis. He then recalled Bush’s famous “Mission Accomplished” speech, where Bush was wearing that flight suit, the incident only a few months old at the time. Ferrell said (and I’m paraphrasing), “I thought, that’s it! From here on out, every time anyone does an impression of Bush, he should wear the flight suit and stand under a ‘Mission Accomplished’ banner. Bush going out to eat, in the flight suit. Bush standing in the Oval Office, in the flight suit.”
To say that Ferrell has genius-level comedy instincts is an understatement. Now it seems that Ferrell is going to play perhaps his greatest character one last time. Will Ferrell will be playing George W. Bush in “You’re Welcome America: A Final Night With George W. Bush”, a Broadway show that plays February through March. The stage show will also air on HBO.
Will Ferrell, the man who invented “strategery” and other Bushisms, is taking his spoofs of the 43rd president to Broadway and HBO.
The “Saturday Night Live” veteran will star in “You’re Welcome America: A Final Night With George W. Bush” at New York’s Cort Theater, with previews in line for Inauguration Day.
The show will take a chronological look at Bush’s life — from his college days and time as the governor of Texas to the 2000 race for president and his two terms in office. Ferrell, who poked fun at the president with his successful impersonations on “SNL,” told CNN he likes that Bush “never thinks he’s wrong.”
“He’s arrogant with a school-boy attitude, and combine that with the fact that he is commander in chief — and, unfortunately, it’s very funny.”
He says viewers should “expect the unexpected” from the show — and some goofy nicknames, something Bush is known to dole out to members of his administration. The show will premiere on February 5 and run through March 15. HBO has also picked up the show, to air live on an undetermined date.

I’m excited that HBO will be airing this!

Will Ferrell Is Headed To Broadway.
Posted on 19. Oct, 2008 by CSS.
Will Ferrell, the film actor who was a regular on “Saturday Night Live” from 1995-2006, will make his Broadway debut in a solo show titled You’re Welcome America. A Final Night with George W. Bush, according to The New York Times.
Adam McKay will direct the production, which will begin previews at the Cort Theatre Jan. 20, 2009, with an official opening Feb. 1. The limited engagement is currently scheduled to run through March 15. (The Cort is currently the home of The 39 Steps.)
A previous report in The New York Post said Ferrell’s show will “be autobiographical and include anecdotes about the comedian’s work on ‘Saturday Night Live.’” Ferrell will also likely offer some of his impersonations; among the many he presented on “Saturday Night Live” were impressions of Neil Diamond, President George W. Bush, Robert Goulet and James Lipton.
I guarantee tickets to this event will sell out in record time- Happy hunting them on the black market aka stub hub!
