It seems that actor and comedian Will Ferrell had a break in his schedule in between finishing “Dog Fight”, and making his guest appearance in the Krewe of Bacchus. What better to fill in this free time than with a New Orleans Hornets game! But Ferrell wasn’t just sitting on the sidelines as the Hornets played the Bulls, but was taking part in the action before the game.
Will Ferrell served as the announcer at the start of this “80’s Night” inspired game. In his typical style, the actor made jokes and quips about each of the players. Joking that certain players “still live with [their] mother”, or that another's “favorite movie is the Notebook”, he certainly got a laugh out of an excited crowd. Hornets fans are saying that Ferrell’s introductions were the highlight of the night… unless you were rooting for the bulls. In the end the New Orleans Hornets lost 90-67, but the fans were still enjoying themselves at the game!
