Will Ferrell plays Harry Caray again! This is such a great skit and one that Saturday Night Live has reproduced on several occasions. This one features Joan Allen and others have featured stars such as Jeff Goldblum. All we can say is Linda Ham!

Well I am pretty sure that most of us are familiar with Will Ferrell playing Steve Butabi and Chris Kattan playing Doug Butabi from “Night at the Roxbury.” There are a lot of people that don’t realize though that the original Butabi Brothers skit from Saturday Night Live was what inspired the movie. Jim Carrey is also featured in the skit and is pretty hilarious. Molly Shannon also makes a brief appearance in the beginning. They crash a high school prom, a wedding reception and an old folks home.
Will Ferrell plays Neil Diamond and stars on a spoof of VH1’s Storytellers. He talks about the stories behind all of his classic songs like Sweet Caroline and more. This skit is all the way back from 1998 when Story Tellers was more in its prime. Will Ferrell actually has a decent singing voice and his stories are even funnier.
We know that this isn’t from Saturday Night Live but we had to add this skit. Will Ferrell sings Lynyrd Skynyrd’s Freebird with his wife on the last episode of the Late Show with Conan O’brien. He not only sings but plays the cowbell and wears a fake blonde wig. Conan gets on stage and rocks out for a few minutes. The most impressive part of the whole thing is Conan’s speech before the clip where he talks about not being cynical and how he hates cynicism. He says that no one gets exactly what they want in life, we just have to be happy for what we get. P.S. Conan is pretty good on the guitar. They also play with Ben Harper, the Tonight Show Band, ZZ Top and Beck. It was a pretty spectacular show.
The Patio Lovers, Roger and Virginia Clarvin warm it up in the Welshly Arms skit with Jimmy Fallon and Drew Barrymore. The hot tub snl skit is one of the funniest that has ever come out. The skit is so funny that everyone involved started laughing before the skit was even done. You won’t forget the talk about archery, spiced meats, and don’t forget Ferrell’s back. “Is it your back? Yes its my back!”
