Editorial Review:
WILL FERRELL DOMINATED SNL WITH CHARACTERS AS DIFFERENT ASCRAIG THE CHEERLEADER AND PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH.
Description of Saturday Night Live - The Best of Will Ferrell:
The latest in the line of Saturday Night Live's great character players (including Dan Aykroyd and Phil Hartman), Will Ferrell showcases his fearlessness in this 72-minute collection. Whether exposing skin or taking a pause beyond the normal limits, Ferrell induces hard laughs like with the cowbell rocker in the first sketch. The selection includes Ferrell's spot-on impressions of Cub announcer Harry Caray, game-show icon Alex Trebek, President Bush, and Inside the Actor's Studio host James Lipton. As with other SNL Best of... retrospectives, there are short snippets to go along with the full-length sketches that include excellent selections of Ferrell's returning characters Craig the Cheerleader and the swinging Culp brothers. A must for fans, and the DVD includes an intriguing audition footage in which Ferrell leaps from character and character. --Doug Thomas
Saturday Night Live - The Best of Will Ferrell Reviews:
Review of SNL - The Best of Will Ferrell 
2009-11-24 - This is hysterical. I love Will Ferrell and this is definitly his best work. I received the video quickly in the mail with no damage to the packing material. I was highly satisfied all the way around. I will probably buy more things from amazon in the future as I need them. I will definitly recommend amazon to friends and family.
Great addition to the movie collection
2009-10-15 - Will Ferrell is brilliant in this selection of skits. The out takes are the BEST!!! Must own!!!!
great delivery--thanks! 
2009-09-09 - My son wanted to get this for his friend & they love it. Thanks for the quick delivery!
"I've Got A Fever...And The Only Prescription Is More Cowbell!"
2009-04-29 - Will Ferrell is one of the funniest cast members of "Saturday Night Live" since the original cast left, and as such has more than his share of golden moments which can't all fit on one DVD. This DVD is volume one of Ferrell's best work, and has some stunningly brilliant moments (and a couple of letdowns as well.) The "VH1: Behind The Music" skit with Christopher Walken is one of the best skits ever to grace the show; Ferrell's willingness to fit into that way-too-small wardrobe and play the cowbell like a maniac plays perfectly off of Walken's scary straight man intensity. Other highlights include "Inside The Actors Studio" (his James Lipton is beyond wonderful), "Jeopardy," and Craig the Cheerleader for the Spartans.
This DVD has a couple of extras including an audition reel, outtakes, and more. Everyone has their favorites from the show, and given the amount of material Ferrell was in, chances are that not all of yours are here. Fear not, as there is a second volume available, which is enjoyable, although not as consistently good as this one. For fans of Ferrell or "Saturday Night Live" this is a key volume to own.
Love this video
2009-04-18 - Okay so maybe it is not the best of all SNL, but then there would be a ton of cheerleader segments, as I loved the cheerleaders. But this is one funny DVD. Had our friends over and watched it. Lent it out at the end of the night b/c it is so funny you will want to watch it over and over again. Great job SNL.
