Will Ferrell Says Dressing Up as a Woman on ‘SNL' for Laughs Is ‘Something I Wouldn't Choose to Do Now'
2024-09-11
[Variety] Will Ferrell is no longer interested in performing in drag for laughs. During an interview on The New York Times’ "The Interview" podcast alongside his longtime friend and former "Saturday Night Live" head writer Harper Steele, Ferrell expressed a bit of regret over the "Janet Reno’s Fantasies" sketch from Season 23 of the sketch comedy show. The sketch featured Ferrell in drag as the eponymous attorney general, with his appearance dressing up as a woman being used for laughs.
So he'll be giving all the $ he made from the gig back to SNL management?

#4  It is fascinating looking back at these entertainers, knowing now who was then pushing edges and who was a pretender shock clown.

#3  I love his acting work but he can fuck off. All that matters in comedy is if it is funny.
