Will Ferrell famously got his comedic start on “Saturday Night Live” (via Fox News). He starred in plenty of skits and has had to deal with unexpected surprises, but could never have expected a visit from a famous friend, Ryan Reynolds (via People).
In 2019, Ferrell hosted the show instead of being a cast member. The comedian was in the middle of his SNL monologue when he spotted Reynolds in the crowd. Ferrell joked, “Excuse me, but you look a lot like Ryan Reynolds.” Reynolds joked back and said, “Yeah, I get that a lot.” Reynolds praised the comedian and shared he is “a big fan” of Ferrell. Ferrell got overwhelmed and started to have “trouble” going back to his original monologue.

People reports, Ferrell’s nervous behavior got even worse when Reynolds said, “We’re big fans.” Ferrel questioned his friend who “we” was and the “Deadpool” actor confirmed he was talking about his wife, Blake Lively. Lively, an incredible actor herself, got Ferrell’s heart racing during the monologue. Especially after Reynolds shared that Lively likes Ferrell “probably more than” him. Ferrell giggled over the thought and tried to get back on track, but like many people, he couldn’t take his eyes off Reynolds. Even after Reynolds pleaded for Ferrell to “just do the monologue”, the comedian knew he wouldn’t be able to follow the script. Although the surprise was rehearsed, it gave fans a look into Reynolds and Ferrell’s close relationship.
