Who knew that my favorite drunk from Will and Grace had her own daytime Talk Show? Or that it was still on the air? The show claims to combine the classic talk and variety shows and feature a mix of celebrities, real people, music and comedy. And this clip that includes CBS's How I Met You Mother’s cast proves all of the above.
Earlier this week, Neil Patrick Harris and Jason Segel broke out in operatic song, performing "Confrontation" from Les Miserables. With very little encouragement needed to convince these seasoned actors to put on a show, I love how seriously the duo belts out their favorite show tune. A big fan of Segal on Freaks and Geeks, I couldn’t stop laughing at his serious, quasi-professional performance.
Has yet another blockbuster movie star taken to the Broadway stages? This clips isn't long enough to tell, but based on Ferrell's knowledge of the "Opera," it seems doubtful.
Monday night, Ferrell appeared on The Late Show with Letterman and broke into song.
My favorite funny man has never convinced me that he is a "serious" actor, but somehow he's an actor that should be taken seriously. And what is more serious than the Opera?
Phantom of the Opera isn't an opera-- it's a musical, and an Andrew Lloyd Webber musical to boot. It's still a bold move for Farrell -- who I have never seen break into song -- to take on this well-known Broadway show tune.
And what a voice...who knew Ferrell could sing? I will admit that the actor only seems to know the same 10 seconds of "Music of the Night" that plays on every radio station in New York more than twice a day. But Ferrell improvises and includes some unexpected details. Pretty fantastic!
