Will Ferrell Dishes on His ‘Office’ Character
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, NBC, The Office, Gossip,
Will Ferrell finally spilled some spoilers from his Office appearance, which will begin this week on NBC. Ferrell will be around for four episodes to help fill the gap that will be left when Michael Scott (Steve Carell) leaves the show.
“My character’s name is Deangelo Vickers,” he revealed to Entertainment Weekly. “He loves the American Southwest, and he’s just kind of in his own way going to step into Michael Scott’s shoes and try to fill them.”
Ferrell is well-known to NBC viewers after his 7-season stint on SNL. But, he had a bigger reason for joining the cast of The Office, however briefly. “I’m friends with Steve [Carell] and a fan of show, and I just selfishly wanted to do one episode with him, and they pitched multiple ones, and I said, ‘that’d be great.’” And we think so too.

Will Ferrell to Become New ‘Office’ Boss
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, NBC, The Office, News, Spoilers,
At long last, Will Ferrell will be returning to NBC. The actor has signed on for a guest-starring stint on The Office, which will be down one Steve Carell.
For a little while, at least, Ferrell will step in as the temporary boss at Dunder Mifflin. He will play a branch manager who comes to take over for Michael Scott (Carell).
“We are proud to continue The Office’s tradition of discovering famous talent,” said Paul Lieberstein (who plays Toby). “We hope that once America gets a good look at Will, they’ll see what we see -- tremendous, raw sexuality.”
Oh, we do … ever since we saw SNL’s now-legendary “Patriotic G-String” skit.

Jon Heder/Will Ferrell Project Won’t Happen
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, Cable, Saturday Night Live, Gossip, Video,
The Blades of Glory duo won’t be making us laugh on Comedy Central after all.
Jon Heder (Napoleon Dynamite, School for Scoundrels) has dropped out of a planned sitcom on the cable network which is being produced by Will Ferrell (just about every other funny movie made since 2002).
Very little info is being offered on the split, only this very ambiguous statement: “Comedy Central, Gary Sanchez Productions and Jon Heder have mutually decided to part ways over creative differences with the character. Jon wishes the show nothing but success, and is very grateful for the opportunity.”

Quote of the Day: Will Ferrell on Playing Simon Cowell
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: American Idol, Gossip,
“I would love to play Simon Cowell in a movie - heck I would love it. It would be my dream role. He’s become a legend in five years. Nobody in the States knew who he was five years ago and now he is one of the most famous people on TV. It wouldn’t be that hard for me to play him because I see a lot of Ron Burgundy in Simon Cowell. Like Simon, Ron was the biggest thing on TV, loved himself and had that whole irresistible middle-aged man thing going on. I could play Simon, but to be honest Simon could play Ron. They are like long-lost twin brothers separated at birth. Simon Cowell and Ron Burgundy are pretty much the same role, apart from Simon being ruder.”
-Anchorman‘s Will Ferrell on why he’d be the perfect person to play the American Idol judge in a movie.

Preview Will Ferrell’s Appearance on Man vs. Wild
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Cable, Video,
UPDATE: Ferrell now says he did not drink his urine as previously reported, but does admit to sampling a little cornea.
I always knew Man vs. Wild was educational, but who knew it could also be funny?
On next week’s episode of the Discovery Channel show, actor Will Ferrell brings levity to what would probably be a miserable experience. The Land of the Lost star joins host Bear Grylls on a cold journey through an area far north of Sweden. During their travels, the two men will feast on reindeer eyeballs and chase that down with some nice bodily fluid.
