Saturday, March 14, 2009 at 5:36AM Will Ferrell as W. Interviews Will Ferrell as W.
Will Ferrell was on Letterman last night promoting his Broadway performance of You're Welcome,
America: A Final Night with George W. Bush, which will air live tonight on HBO, one night before the limited engagement
closes on Sunday. It's an ambitious one-man show recounting Bush's eight years in office, and while Ferrell's vocal impression is
solid, it's the stuff he comes up with as W. that makes it such a good characterization.

He looked tired on Letterman and even admitted not realizing how much work a Broadway show is. Eight performances a week, all
on your own, needing to hit the mark every time...yeah, that would be pretty grueling. To get a little more promotion for the
event, Ferrell has produced a series of promos for the HBO special in which his President Bush interviews his President Bush.
Now there's an extended interview clip, during which the two Presidents discuss one of his/their favorite topics: Wood.
Check your local listings for You're Welcome, America, tonight on HBO.
