Will Ferrell

That's a heck of a debut gig.

New films from Will Ferrell and Spike Lee headline a big month of streaming.

Greg Olsen looks a little different today.

"Baked in a buttery flaky crust." Dysart's restaurant blooper viral video gets an SNL reboot.

You, incorrect: “Anchorman 2 is a pale shadow of the original Anchorman.”

In a summer where most raunchy comedies seem to be flopping at the box office  —  Rough Night and Baywatch have certainly disappointed with their reviews and box office ratings — it looks like it might all come down to The House.

With every new casting update, the gestating detective spoof Holmes and Watson gets a little bit better. Casting former Step Brothers Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly as bumbling iterations of Sherlock Holmes and his man Watson was an inspired move to begin with, but landing a supporting cast including Rebecca Hall, Kelly Macdonald, The Trip cutup Rob Brydon, and comedy’s hidden gem Lauren Lapkus s
