The One Person Who Makes Will Ferrell Laugh the Most

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.

This guy has brought a lot of joy over the years to a lot of people. I admire him for that.

[kawaiiafangirl]

This could go on for another 30 minutes and I'd bet that Will can still continue to improvise hilarious lines.

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.

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..

"The overriding lesson I've learned is that I hate children" 😂😂😂

[aimhigh]

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.

“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.”

the Lionel Ritchie answer was hilarious!

[dcoolu]

Love the deadpan delivery!! I don't think anybody can do it better 😂

[iywrkkm]

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

[missbasma]

The fact that he's the executive producer of Succession is so random but so real 😭

[Brotelho]

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!"

[internziko]

The man is effortlessly funny. You gotta be born with that.

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

[darkdragon]

I don't know why I clicked this thinking that there could be serious answers. I laughed at every answer.

[IsThisHandleTaken]

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."

[kevinfager.]

Love this dude. Hope he can break his shop lifting habit. We’re rooting for you.

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.

He's a genius, also this needs more views
