Beloved funnyman Will Ferrell has announced a charity benefit show dubbed “Will Ferrell’s Best Night of Your Life”—and judging by the star-studded lineup he’s recruited, that billing could very well turn out to be true.
The event, set to take place at Hollywood’s Greek Theatre on Saturday, October 6th, will feature appearances by the best and brightest in comedy and late night TV as well as an all-star musical lineup assembled by Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer and famous Will Ferrell look-alike Chad Smith. Ferrell has christened to one-time supergroup Chad Smith’s Super Mega Funktastic Jam Rock All Stars.
The list of comedic guests includes Jerry Seinfeld, James Corden, Jimmy Kimmel, Conan O’Brien, Jim Jefferies, Michelle Wolf, Zooey Deschanel, Kumail Nanjiani, Jerrod Charmichael, and more. Chad Smith’s MVP band lineup features Mike McCready (Pearl Jam), Duff McKagan (Guns N’ Roses), Stefan Lessard (Dave Matthews Band), Josh Klinghoffer (Red Hot Chili Peppers), Brad Paisley, and Chris Martin (Coldplay).
“Will Ferrell’s Best Night of Your Life” will raise money for Cancer for College, a non-profit that “provides hope and inspiration to low-income, high achieving cancer survivors through the granting of college scholarships and by providing professional mentor services.”
Watch Ferrell’s funny announcement video for the event below. As Ferrell—disguised as an excited fan in a hat, wig, and fake mustache—pleads, “I hope he does Ron Burgundy! That would absolutely bring down the house!” And if we’re talking old Ferrell movie callbacks, our money is on a reprise of “Baby It’s Cold Outside” from Elf with Zooey Deschanel. A cowbell solo or two wouldn’t surprise us, either…
