Will Ferrell on Good Hang with Amy Poehler

with WF Will Ferrell

The Hang, in Short

Amy sits down with Will Ferrell, and honestly the best part happens before he even shows up. Chris Parnell calls in first, still promoting Stop That Train, and spills that when he asked Will if it took him a while to find his footing at SNL, Will just said, "No, I just started right away." Cold comfort, Parnell calls it, and you can hear him still processing that decades later. They swap stories about sharing "the gentleman's quarters" office with Jerry Minor, scotch after read-throughs, and Merv the Perv, a Groundlings character Will literally named. Parnell also teases his grudge-holding PGA board character on The Hawk. Then Will arrives, and Amy immediately starts grilling him about press day logistics. Great setup, better gossip.
