Will Ferrell On Tour...

OK...I've done it again...I have strayed with another post that has nothing to do with music. But we can all recognize good stuff when we see it. Here is the lowdown...Will Ferrell has a new movie coming out in February 2008 called Semi-Pro. That is only half of the story. Billboard is reporting that he will also be heading out on a promotional Stand Up Comedy Tour (with some other great comedians) to stir up some publicity for the movie...and it is headed this way. Who needs more cowbell?

Semi-Pro Movie Trailer


Official Synopsis:
Will Ferrell stars in Semi-Pro, an outrageous comedy set in 1976 against the backdrop of the maverick ABA – a fast-paced, wild and crazy basketball league that rivaled the NBA and made a name for itself with innovations like the three-point shot and slam dunk contest. Ferrell plays Jackie Moon, a one-hit wonder who used the profits from the success of his chart-topping song “Love Me Sexy” to achieve his dream of owning a basketball team. But Moon’s franchise, the Flint Michigan Tropics, is the worst team in the league and in danger of folding when the ABA announces its plans to merge with the NBA. If they want to survive, Jackie and the Tropics must now do the seemingly impossible – win.
(OK...So it doesn't sound like Oscar material...go have a laugh!)
