The Current GOP Candidate Will Ferrell Would Most Like to Play in a Movie

On The Daily Show, Will Ferrell thought back on his days of playing President George W. Bush on Saturday Night Live. Considering today’s Republican candidates, Ferrell said he thought Bush “seems like a really sane choice right now, with the current field” and called him a “total moderate.” We found ourselves reminiscing about some sweet Ferrell political impressions, so we did a little digging and went all the way back to the 2000 election and the debate between Al Gore (expertly impersonated by Darrell Hammond) and Ferrell’s Bush. Trevor Noah asked Ferrell which of the current GOP hopefuls he’s like to play, and his answer was immediate: Ted Cruz. “I like me some Ted Cruz. Marco Rubio — there’s an oily, slimy factor there that I’d love to, yeah, I’d love to put that skin on for a while, walk around.” He’s so into the idea that he’s already planned the opening shot of the film.
