Will Ferrell on The Hawk, King's Games, and His Hollywood Life
At 22:22 · chapter starts 20:30
Will Ferrell unpacks how AYSO soccer at age 8 was the gateway to his love of team sports, which later translated into his passion for ensemble comedy on SNL and big sports films. The Hawk centers on Lonnie 'The Hawk' Hawkins, described as a narcissistic golfer who only cares about winning — a character that gave Netflix the opportunity to 'send up the PGA in a way that hadn't been done before.' Ferrell confesses to a 17 golf handicap, eliciting laughs from Jason (a 15) and Travis (estimated 10). The show was shot in LA, the cast is stacked, and the tone is proudly old-school comedy with 'horribly unredeemable characters.'
