I am – Hercules!!
Actor-writer Will Ferrell and actor-director Adam McKay, who worked together on “Saturday Night Live” before the team graduated to movies like “Anchorman,” “Talladega Nights” and “Step Brothers,” are headed to a Broadway stage for "You’re Welcome America. A Final Night With George W Bush."
Ferrell, who played Bush on SNL, will make his Broadway debut in the title role; McKay will direct.
It will run from Jan. 20 to March 15 at the Cort Theatre.

Holy fuck thats awesome!
-
Is he going to perform in his flight suit? I remember that Farrell said if he were still playing George, he'd wear the flight suit in every sketch. Thus, "Robot Chicken" did it.
-
shit damn shit
-
a play I'll actually be able to sit through. Ferrell's W. is by far the funniest pres impersonation of our generation.
-
It sucks I won't be on the best coast so I can go see this, but Im sure with this team intact it'll be put on video for generations to come. Farrells Bush is brilliant and I miss it every time I watch SNL.

WOW NOT ENUFF PPL MAKE FUN OF BUSH NEED MOR PPL 2 DO THAT

awesome awesome awesome

Both closed off off off Broadway in 1921 and 1934 respectively. Although the latter did bring us the beloved showtune "By Gum This Job Will Kill Me."

Just saying, if you're gonna go for the joke, go for the joke.

You do know you said "Farrells Bush is brilliant and I miss it every time I watch SNL." right? That's making me laugh harder every time I read it.

So Bush is this comic character used in movies and plays now?
by ricarleite
And will they reboot the Bush franchise in a few years from now?
-
I'll be getting a ticket to this no doubt. I don't care if it's a little blatant and easy, seeing Farrel on stage, as Bush, is going to be unforgettable.
-
about dubbya.
o wait -
I figured Ferrell was gonna do Bush one last time, but on SNL instead. I guess he wants to milk it for all it's worth.
-
But will not be as good as people say it is. I think it's a great idea, but Ferrell & Co. often fall short of their idea's potential. I expect the same here.

Good News: Will Ferrell and his team of idiot writers will be from the big screen for awhile- and for all intents and purposes, out of mainstream media altogether.Bad news: This leaves Judd Apatow alone to make produce more bad movies. The only Judd Apatow movies worth watching in recent years were the Will Ferrell collaborations. Now we will have even MORE Seth Rogan fun! Ugh.
