The One Person Who Makes Will Ferrell Laugh the Most
Ойын-сауық
Will Ferrell, the star of the new musical ‘Spirited,' reveals what he’s learned as a parent, the most extreme thing he’s done for a role and the phone call that changed his life.
Directed by Barbara Anastacio
In “The One,” WSJ. Magazine talks to tastemakers and creators about “the one” secret to their success-the one mentor they lean on in a crisis, the one habit they wish they could break, the one call that changed their lives forever. From actor Nicole Kidman to “The Daily Show” host Trevor Noah to Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, iconic cultural figures open up to WSJ.

He says, "the one element i look for in a script is... how much theyre gonna pay me." With a straight face proves hes a comedic legend.

He was on my soccer team in the mid 70's in Irvine California, he was our goalie and yes indeed he was always a good athlete. I still have the team picture to this day..

My brother played again his son a handful of years ago and Will was at the game. Was he funny back then too?
This guy has brought a lot of joy over the years to a lot of people. I admire him for that.

Will Ferrell is this era’s greatest comedy ambassador. He doesn’t need to have a movie or show or special. He just IS comedy itself. We are lucky.

the Lionel Ritchie answer was hilarious!
The man is effortlessly funny. You gotta be born with that.
This man made my childhood wonderful. The laughter he created amongst me and my friends was legendary. Anchorman was and will always be the greatest comedy of all time. At the time it was so unique and strange. I love this man.
Will Ferrell is on constant shit talking mode and I love it. The man has never given an honest answer. I also respect that he said his most quotable in is on one of my favorite songs "GET'S THE PEOPLE GOIN!"
I love his type of comedy u know he’s joking but at the same time he’s so serious and just never breaks a smile or laugh at all
“Being a parent is a huge responsibility, you learn a lot of lessons. But the overriding lesson I’ve learned, is that I hate children.”
Grew up watching this guy since i was a kid, enjoying staying up late on a Saturday night watching SNL. He shaped my sense of humor, he showed me its okay to be goofy and silly, just be yourself and keep everything light, put a smile on people's faces
I love that he grabbed the 'Ladyhump' quote. That's always been my favourite line of his, and Blades of Glory I feel was super underrated. "No one knows what it means but it's PROVOCATIVE."

Do you have to keep the words of the questions on the screen for so long? Gawd! It's like, get back to Will already!
Nice to know that when you reach the top, money is always there to motivate you to keep working.
I absolutely adored him as Salvatore!
🍿bringing smiles to faces
I've never seen a serious interview of Will Ferrell. That's a great strategy on his part and hilarious for the audience :)
"Prepare to be underwhelmed", he says before overwhelming us with a shower, nay, a geysir deadpan gems.
Genius….my favorite comedic actor of all time. To quote coming to America …Dat boy good!

Idk why after all this time I expected Will not to do a bit and answer sincerely. 😂😂😂😂
He was really good in several sports and still holds his school's record for most points scored in football as a kicker.
This will always be THE guy.
Nothing washes down my crazy pills like a sip of Will Ferrell. B--)
He is just the best.
Effortlessly funny!
Will is the best and to think I never got him all through SNL up until he said milk was a bad choice then I lost it and a switch went off for me then I was hooked!
My dad is a 66 year old man who has not missed a Knicks game, a Mets game, a Giants or Jets game since the 1970s, and has not missed an episode of American Idol, literally, since 2007. Lionel Richie is now one of the judges and I actually think it's now more popular than ever.
I love will!! ❤🔥😂😂😂
I was gonna say Lionel Richie …man oh man that guy is funny
Searching for his wage in the script 😂😂😂
Lol he didn't give ONE STRAIGHT ANSWER!!
For years I thought I liked Will Ferrell because of Step Brothers. 15 years later and it's still the only thing I ever found him funny in.
The title should be "Will Farrell is asked questions and just answers with random shit."
“But the overriding lesson I’ve learned is that I hate children.” Will Ferrell’s three children: Gee, thanks for sharing that, Dad! 😔
I can feel the team behind the camera dying of laughter at the answers.
He’s not joking about being a good athlete. I heard he held High school record as a football kicker for a long time.
Used to love this guy, then he sang that song imagine song and that was it for me

The typography of the questions is really poor. They're difficult to read (i.e., ALL CAPS, and the kerning is too tight) and they're on the screen for too little time.
This was a master class in improve...and I would know because I WAS that kid in school that sucked at sports and the kids hated me, so I learned to make them laugh. Not true, I was home schooled. Also not true, my mom never really taught me anything which is why I am living with her still, unemployed, and commenting on youtube videos at 8:10am on a Tuesday.
Did you hear about the guy who poured glitter on his junk? pretty nuts eh?
I seldom laugh, but he made me laugh!!!

1:35 "It influenced...me...in a sense that...I know that...[AWKWARDLY LONG PAUSE AND A WONDERING STARE]... ... The worst movie I made is not as bad as that." My coffee came out through my nose. The worst thing while drinking something is listening to Will Ferrell's seemingly most mature sentences.
