Will forgot he plays a mean cowbell.

[@Movypro23]

Last time I checked we don’t have a whole lot of songs that feature the cowbell 🤪✌️🎶

[@grantt4532]

Beat me to it

[@1872patty]

And a jazz flute

[@MomoSimone22]

I came here for this!

​@@eyeDavidMaybe he's so good that he couldn't get enough.

[@PaulHolder]

It's classic Will Ferrell to claim not be be in the movie he's literally there to promote.

[@e.m.345]

How could Will forget that he is an absolute MASTER of the cow bell?

[@gregmorris2022]

Oh man! Nice call!😊

[@quentinmachado5592]

Love Kristen Wiig! She is such an underrated actress!!!

[@hlinville6034]

Miss not seeing her as much as we used to.

[@cubbance]

It's so funny to me that you get so used to Will Ferrell's buffoonery in movies that you forget that he's the sweetest man in these interviews.

[@user-yh6by9mg6l]

Kristen is one of the best female comedians. She killed me in Anchorman 2!

[@j-mo2453]

Three hours later… 2-4-6-8-10 & 12 string guitars, mandolin, oboe, diggiridoo, djembes, congas, flute, claironet, cajon, French horn and cow bell. Probably a couple dozen instruments I missed, but that’s the 3500 I play most. Lolol

[@Nerivean]

💀💀💀

[@Markyajv]

Cowbell.

[@j-mo2453]

@Markyajv Yes… technically lead, rhythm and bass cowbells. And also Indian cowbells that another instrument altogether. I also play drums because Chad Smith and I were conjoined identical twins separated at birth. I play harp I play banjo I play accordion I play bad mitten I play ukulele I play…. Lolol

Dooneese is my favourite and the SNL skit with Dooneese and Will Ferrell is actually so funny because they BOTH come very close to breaking character.

[@seigeengine]

Here I was thinking "dear god is Will Ferrell that old?" No, he's 56.

[@adrianameza5189]

For real he looks 70-80

[@thekiss2083]

[@sheboman19]

He didnt say he can play the cowbell :O

[@ashtonturner2862]

My thought exactly

[@nindza79]

And we need more cowbell! :) Lol I think that's a skit that rendered most of Will's and Cristopher's performances obscure :)

Kicking and Screaming is my favorite Will Ferrell's movie. It's also my favorite childhood movie. I feel like in that movie you get the most of Will Ferrell.

[@NoirSkillz]

The duo we all needed

[@StormShadowWZ]

Two of my absolute favourite actors.

[@Typical.Anomaly]

I've seen him play drums with Chad Smith. If he didn't mention drums, he must be _really_ good at what he did mention; he's a decent drummer.

[@naomiarram5187]

I also wondered about that

[@sgtpeppers94]

He wasn’t actually playing, it was a skit. Questlove played his drum parts off camera, which is why you never actually see Will play. You should rewatch that.

[@naomiarram5187]

@@sgtpeppers94 Cool! I was too busy laughing at how much they look alike to notice!!

[@Ottophil]

You mean questlove is a “decent”(lol) drummer

He has some bang on impressions and he’s a great host clearly- since he’s still on the air.

I worry that Wiig has depressed herself by how much funny she is. It's like people that are too smart. Tragic in a way. i love her.

[@tyzac17]

[@Gheston]

Will simply naming instruments had me giggling like a school girl just like Kristen

[@dunetiger]

I'm the same. All precision stuff like drawing, writing, eating is with my left hand. All power stuff like sports, hitting stuff, fighting, etc. is right-handed. I dunno about Ferrell, but for me it was because when I was young I emulated by brother who is a natural lefty (but he golfs righty, for some reason) so I mimicked his drawing and writing till it became natural. On the other hand, I think I was born a righty, but if I try to do anything precise with my right hand, it goes awry.

[@cepjb]

How have these two not hosted something together?!

[@zarakikempachi1072]

This light and camera angle doesn't help Will

[@LarsWalker-xo2jn]

True. He looks closer to 70 y/o than 60.
