Will Ferrell will take his impersonation of President Bush to Broadway.
NEW YORK (CNN) — Will Ferrell, the man who invented "strategery" and other Bushisms, is taking his spoofs of the 43rd president to Broadway and HBO. The "Saturday Night Live" veteran will star in "You're Welcome America: A Final Night With George W. Bush" at New York's Cort Theater, with previews in line for Inauguration Day. The show will take a chronological look at Bush's life — from his college days and time as the governor of Texas to the 2000 race for president and his two terms in office. Ferrell, who poked fun at the president will his successful impersonations on "SNL," told CNN he likes that Bush "never thinks he's wrong." "He's arrogant with a school-boy attitude, and combine that with the fact that he is commander in chief — and, unfortunately, it's very funny." Filed under: President George W. Bush |
