Hours after performing 'Free Bird' on the final Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien, comedian Will Ferrell and wife Viveca Paulin welcomed their third son. Ferrell and Paulin, 40 – who met in an acting class 15 years ago and wed in 2000 – announced the pregnancy in September.

By Ethan Anderton Despite last summer's flop of his terrible big budget comedy Land of the Lost, funnyman Will Ferrell is by no means discouraged. Not only will 2010 see him re-teaming with Anchorman director Adam McKay for the action comedy The Other Guys, but he also lends his voice to DreamWorks' superhe...

By The Huffington Post News Editors After seven months, Conan's run on the "Tonight Show" has come to an end. After an hour with Tom Hanks, Steve Carell and Neil Young, Will Ferrell closed the show, much like he did Conan's final "Late Night" show less than a year ago. He performed "Free Bird," with help from Beck, ZZ Top, Ben Harp...

Conan O’Brien’s fatal mistake was inviting frat boy comedian Will Ferrell onto his debut on The Tonight Show. In ’07, tennis alum John McEnroe’s show kicked off with Ferrell and Sting. Ferrell killed again, wandering onto a nearby MSNBC set and pretending to read the news.

By The Huffington Post News Editors In the late-night tradition of a star-studded goodbye, O'Brien's guests Thursday include such big names as Robin Williams and Barry Manilow. Tom Hanks was scheduled for Friday, as was Will Ferrell – the first guest O'Brien welcomed when he started last June as "Tonight" host.

DreamWorks Animation had a very entertaining show and tell for its 2010 slate today.  The animation powerhouse showed extended scenes of the Will Ferrell and Brad Pitt voiced "Megamind," a nice chunk of "Shrek Forever After" and an almost completed full cut of this March's "How To Train Y...

Rudd also appeared briefly in Monsters vs. Aliens and was found time to cameo in the best scene in Year One. Following the success of 2008’s Role Models and I Love You, Man this year, Rudd could arguably be considered a peer of the traditional Frat Pack actors (”just like Jack Black, but better...

It looks like Zach Galifianakis might be the newest member of the Judd Apatow club, as he and Paul Rudd liked having Dinner for Schmucks so much that they're going back for seconds. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Rudd and Galifianakis are teaming up for Will. Valerie Faris and Jonatha...

If "Saturday Night Live" has a star right now, it has to be Kristen Wiig, the manic comic actress who has branched out into big-screen comedies, including "Knocked Up," "Walk Hard," "Whip it" and "Adventureland." Like her "SNL" predecessor Will Ferrell, Wiig's comic creations walk a fin...

By Monika Bartyzel The thing is -- I think I'd like to see this ... if Ferrell put aside his usual over-the-top quirk for a tone more like Stranger Than Fiction. But that's probably just me wanting to see more of that in any role. I think it's time to put down the uber-quirk and find some happy mellow comedy. Could being S...

LOS ANGELES — He's the guy who gave us "Anchorman." He blessed us with "Talladega Nights," "Step Brothers," "Eastbound & Down" and Funny or Die. Adam McKay even wrote what is quite possibly the funniest fake commercial of all time.

It's a little dismaying to hear a man as funny as Will Ferrell give forth with witless exclamations like "Captain Kirk's nipples!" But Ferrell seems to be expending a lot of his career in this sort of schlockbuster trash. What's more distressing is watching Danny McBride, an actor with a fi...

By The Huffington Post News Editors Will Ferrell was O'Brien's first guest. He called Liza Minelli a "Commie" and led the audience in a chant of "U-S-A" before singing Conan a goodbye song that confused the host. Ferrell explained himself saying, "Don't get me wrong. I'm pulling for you. But this little thing is a crapshoot at be...

By Richard But ultimately this production is less about the legacy of George W. Bush than it is about the comic persona that has been perfected by Will Ferrell. "You're Welcome America" is a lot like Mr. Ferrell's more middling movies, not quite on a level with "Blades of Glory" or "Talladega Nights." Som...

By The Huffington Post News Editors But no one has made it a trademark as much as Ferrell has. As a cast member on "Saturday Night Live," one of his best characters was a rapping Robert Goulet. At last year's Academy Awards, he sang that "a comedian at the Oscars is the saddest, bitterest, alcoholic clown."

By TravelGolf.com - Dave Berner “Another trophy, another one of these bad boys. And this one is definitely the most special. People are always asking me, ‘Tiger, how do you do it?’ And my answer is: ‘Shut up. I ask the questions around here. I’m Tiger Woods,’” Ferrell joked.

By john@themovieblog.com (John Campea) So the question that has to be asked is… why was the opening weekend of this Ferrell film so weak? I think there are three things that have to be looked at. The “R” rating, early bad reviews and finally, people getting tired of Will Ferrell.

By Alex Billington Well I won't hold my breath until Land or Brothers, and I will still see both and still enjoy both, but I probably won't love them like I love his previous films (e.g. Anchorman, Old School, Elf). Hopefully I'm wrong, but only time will tell.

Christine and Jon braved the cold in Toronto to hang out with the funniest guy around, Mr. Will Ferrell. Will's new movie Semi-Pro opens today and we have some incredible audio of Will singing with Dave Grohl.

By Scott Weinberg Some people might say that Will Ferrell is coasting, taking it easy, or skirting by on proven formula -- and that may be the case. There's a lot in Ferrell's latest flick, Semi-Pro, that feels like material left over from the comedian's soccer comedy (Kicking & Screaming), his car-rac...

By General Disdain Will Ferrell is at again. Once more we have him playing a buffoon character toppled from the heights of fame and power.

By Neil Miller Why do I know this is happening? Because that is the power of a great Will Ferrell comedy; it stays with you long after you leave the theater.

By Kaonashi While Blades of Glory was funny, it wasn't nearly as brilliant as Talladega Nights. What's great about Talladega Nights was that much of the humor lay in the ad-libbed dialog from the cast. It's a lot more quotable, and to me, it becomes more memorable. Blades of Glory relied more on visual hum...
