    why black and white?
    what a weird choice.

  3. At first I was like, “thank *God* Will Ferrell isn’t doing this interview in ‘character’.” Then I was like, “fuuuuuuuuuck this is booooooooring.” I think it’s safe to say that his electric car charging station bit should have been left on the cutting room floor.
