00:00Hi, I'm Will Ferrell.
00:01And I'm Kristen Wiig, and this is the Wired Autocomplete Interview.
00:08Is Will Ferrell good at baseball?
00:11Is that proper English?
00:13Are Will Ferrell...
00:15No, I think it is.
00:15Okay.
00:19Okay, so you're going to hold this one.
00:21Yes.
00:22Can Will Ferrell speak Spanish?
00:27Yes.
00:28My Spanish is very good.
00:32My shoes are very nice.
00:36My heart only goes to the beach.
00:41So it's great.
00:42Yes.
00:43Is Will Ferrell good at baseball?
00:47Well, I think that what that's referring to is a HBO special
00:50where I played 10 different positions for professional baseball teams in one day.
00:55Was I good?
00:56Yes.
00:59Okay.
00:59What instruments can Will Ferrell play?
01:04Oh my gosh.
01:05I can play the xylophone.
01:07I can play the double-necked bass.
01:09I can play vibes.
01:11I can play trumpet, also cornet.
01:13I play bass, stand-up bass.
01:17I play a viola.
01:18I play a cello.
01:20I play piano.
01:22I play the tiny little piano from the 1700s, the minaret.
01:28And that's my special.
01:30That's my special talent.
01:31Okay.
01:31So I guess sort of is the answer?
01:33Okay.
01:34Why does Will Ferrell have drumsticks in Barbie?
01:39Oh.
01:40When I was talking to Greta, the director, Greta Gerwig, I said,
01:46wouldn't it be just weird and kind of jackass if my character just had drumsticks?
01:50That's the only reason.
01:51She said yes.
01:52She said yes.
01:53And we made them pink.
01:56Next part.
01:57Oh, my turn.
01:58Was Kristen Wiig a Dallas Cowboy cheerleader?
02:05Thank you, but no.
02:07We do people.
02:09Did you think about it?
02:12I never.
02:13Be honest.
02:14Did you audition?
02:16No, I didn't.
02:17But have you watched that Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders reality show?
02:21Fascinating.
02:22I'm surprised by that one.
02:24Is Kristen Wiig on Instagram?
02:26No, I am not.
02:28I am not on Instagram or Twitter or X.
02:32Nothing.
02:34Facebook, nothing.
02:35So if you think you're following me.
02:37Are you on Clip Clop?
02:40I have a private account on Clip Clop, which is for horse enthusiasts.
02:45Yes.
02:45Yes.
02:46Kind of like TikTok, but it's for horse enthusiasts.
02:48There's only 16 people on it.
02:50Not a lot of followers.
02:51Don't invest in Clip Clop, by the way.
02:53Kristen...
02:56It just says Kristen Wiig impressions.
02:59Do it.
03:01I can do a Kristen Wiig impression.
03:03Can you do...
03:03Yeah, do your best Kristen Wiig.
03:05So I guess, I don't know.
03:08Wait, let me close...
03:09I want to close my eyes and see if it sounds like it.
03:10Okay.
03:11Hey, Will.
03:12It's Kristen.
03:14I don't know.
03:15What's going on?
03:15That's so good.
03:17Thanks.
03:18Thanks.
03:19It's not one of my better ones, but...
03:20And you haven't been practicing at all.
03:22Not that one.
03:23Oh, Kristen Wiig best SNL skits.
03:26Just...
03:27What are the best ones?
03:28What are the best ones?
03:29According to you.
03:32I don't know.
03:33I can't answer that.
03:35I mean, I...
03:38Target Lady?
03:39Yes.
03:40Right?
03:40Okay.
03:42Darl...
03:43Doonies.
03:44Doonies.
03:44Yeah.
03:45It's hard for me to say what...
03:47I can say that I had fun doing all of them.
03:50Throw it away.
03:53Is Will Ferrell in Despicable Me 4?
03:57Regrettably, no.
03:59They cut me out.
04:01But thanks for coming.
04:01Yeah, I just thought, oh, I'll do press.
04:03Yeah.
04:03Yeah.
04:04That's what a good guy you are.
04:06Yeah.
04:06I'm a team player.
04:07Okay.
04:07Is Will Ferrell left-handed?
04:11I am.
04:13Oh, you are.
04:14I'm left-handed.
04:15Well, I'm actually ambidextrous.
04:17Wow.
04:18So I do all sports right-handed, but I'm...
04:22That's interesting.
04:23Yeah.
04:23Okay.
04:24I didn't know that about you.
04:25Oh, when I play minuet, when I do my solos with my right hand.
04:28Right.
04:29So you like to play the piano with just one hand, not two?
04:32Like other people?
04:32I'm a one-handed player.
04:33You're a one-handed player.
04:34Is Will Ferrell really singing in Step Brothers?
04:38Yeah.
04:39Yeah.
04:40I am.
04:42Okay.
04:42So there.
04:43Does Will Ferrell...
04:44I feel like people...
04:45It was like a challenging question.
04:46Yeah.
04:47I was like, was that you?
04:48Yeah.
04:49Okay.
04:51They're probably like, I can tell because it's not good.
04:53Does Will Ferrell ever break character?
04:57Sure.
04:58Yeah.
04:59I like to have some giggles here and there.
05:02But I feel like you and I share the same...
05:05It's tough for us to break.
05:07We're pretty good at it.
05:08I don't want...
05:08Because also for me, truthfully, once I go, I can't bring it back.
05:12You can't bring it back.
05:12I have a really hard time.
05:14Yeah.
05:14Yeah.
05:15Okay.
05:15Even though it's kind of fun when it does happen on occasion.
05:18On occasion.
05:18Right.
05:19Did Will Ferrell really break the Mark Twain Award?
05:24Oh, no.
05:26That was a fake one.
05:28That was a fake one.
05:29But you really broke a real fake one.
05:32I broke a real fake one.
05:34And the crowd thought it was real.
05:36It worked.
05:36It did.
05:37People are asking about it.
05:38People are asking about it.
05:38Yeah.
05:38It's a lot of people talking about it.
05:42What is Kristen Wiig's new movie?
05:46Despicable Me 4?
05:49Yes.
05:49Tell me about it.
05:50Because it was great when I was working on it.
05:53But then they cut me out of it.
05:55I think they gave me your part.
05:57So I'm doing two parts.
05:58I'm doing Maxime.
06:00Was that you?
06:00Maxime.
06:01That was me.
06:01So I'm doing your part.
06:03Hope that's not weird.
06:06What was Will Ferrell and Kristen Wiig dancing to?
06:10Oh, Fluffing a Duck.
06:14Yes.
06:16It's called Fluffing a Duck.
06:17If you're referring to the Golden Globes.
06:19But if you're referring to our Lifetime movie we made together.
06:22Oh, which they probably aren't.
06:25What were we dancing to then in the kitchen?
06:28Who knows, right?
06:29I remember that my back was like out, remember?
06:33And I couldn't really move.
06:34So you can see by the way I'm dancing.
06:36But I'm not really moving.
06:38But we're really jazzing out as a family.
06:41One of the best endings of a movie ever.
06:43Can Kristen Wiig sing?
06:47Of course she can.
06:48She has a beautiful voice.
06:50She's one of the top 70 singers in the world.
06:55What?

07:02You're at number 70.
07:05Wow.
07:05So there's your answer.
